Flume Open Channel Radar Flow Transmitter

When an Ohio municipality needed reliable flow measurement of their wastewater intake flume, they turned to Flowline. The treatment plant bills the adjacent communities based on the volume of wastewater that enters the plant through the flume. Fully exposed to the environment, the flume gets sun to snow and everything in between. The I&E technician said that billing accuracy and reliability are critical. He preferred a non-contact flow sensor, required a volumetric output and stated that it must work across all their weather conditions. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our non-contact 80 GHz radar flow sensors that are unaffected by changes in the environment or waste stream. The radar sensor provides reliable flow data to the SCADA, which totalizes the wastewater intake volume and ports it to their billing system. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
