Cooling Water Intake Channel Radar Level Measurement

When an East Coast power station needed reliable level measurement of their water intake channel, they turned to Flowline. The thermoelectric plant generates tremendous heat and consumes vast amounts of water in its cooling processes. The channel supplies the station with ocean water and the level is monitored for storm surges that could lead to flooding. The operator stated that the previous ultrasonic level sensor became intermittent during extreme weather, just when they needed it most. He said I need reliable level measurement and the entire plant is considered a hazardous area. For this reason, Flowline suggested our intrinsically safe LR31 radar sensor that’s unaffected by wind, rain or snow, and designed for easy bracket mount installation. The radar sensor provide reliable level data to the SCADA which monitors the channel and alarms during storm surges. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
