Fertigation Chemical Tank Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When a California strawberry farm needed reliable level measurement of their fertilizer chemical feed tanks, they turned to Flowline. To maximize plant growth and fruit yields, the farm injects nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous based fertilizers into their irrigation pump station. The fields are huge, and the workers infrequently see the tanks, which led to chemical outages that effected plant growth. So they contracted with an integrator to install a cellular modem that would text daily tank inventories to the farm manager. The fertilizers are somewhat coating and the integrator required a level sensor that would work reliably with sticky and mildly corrosive chemicals. For this reason, Flowline suggested our patented UG03 ultrasonic sensor that’s non-contact and constructed of PVDF. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the modem, which transmits a daily inventory packet. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
