Reliable Sodium Hydroxide Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When a Midwest water treatment plant needed reliable level measurement of their new sodium hydroxide storage tank, they turned to Flowline. The city expanded their water supply to a new reservoir and installed a pump booster station to transport the water 3.5 miles to the plant. At the station, they begin the water treatment process by steadily injecting sodium hydroxide. As caustic soda is corrosive and highly coating, the plant operator wanted reliable non-contact level measurement with a local display and alarms for the chemical truck driver to use during tank refill. For this reason, Burns & McDonnell specified our patented UG06 ultrasonic sensor and our LI55 level controller with NEMA enclosure and alarms. The ultrasonic sensor provides reliable level data to the SCADA and display for chemical management. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
