Aluminum Sulfate Bulk Tank Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When a Kentucky municipality needed reliable level measurement of their aluminum sulfate bulk storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. During the hot summer months, blooms of harmful blue algae grow in lakes and reservoirs. To combat it, they utilize spray boats that apply aluminum sulfate, a powerful flocculant that safely removes blue algae. Prior to dispatch, boats are trailered to a bulk tank, where they fill up their sprayers with chemical. The operator complained that a prior ultrasonic level sensor was intermittent during peak humid months, and this resulted in chemical shortages when they needed it most. For this reason, Flowline suggested our UG03 ultrasonic sensor that’s unaffected by the daily condensation cycles in the tank. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the SCADA, which monitors the tank and alarms for chemical replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
