Reliable Sewer Pump Station Radar Level Measurement

When a Gulf Coast municipality needed reliable level measurement of their sewer lift stations, they turned to Flowline. As the I&C manager explained, “Our team struggled with level problems for decades. Twenty years ago, we replaced sticking floats with non-contact ultrasonic sensors. Then a few years later, we replaced ultrasonic with pressure sensors. Then we faced a learned choice, either we suspend them for easy removal and cleaning, and agitation damages them, or we affix them to the bottom, and have to send a man down there to clean them when they clog.” That was two years ago. Since then, they replaced pressure with maintenance-free radar sensors and are very satisfied. The intrinsically safe LR31 radar sensor provides reliable level data to the panel mount display and SCADA, which monitors the stations and controls the pumps. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
