Sewer Pump Lift Station Radar Level Measurement

When a Pacific Northwest municipality needed reliable level measurement of their sewer stations, they turned to Flowline. The water plant wanted to replace float, ultrasonic and pressure sensors with reliable non-contact level measurement. The IC&E engineer said, “Float’s tangle and coat with grease, ultrasonics’ become intermittent with condensation or foam, and pressure clogs or gets banged up in turbulence. None are robust in this application type and I’m tired of dealing with them, especially when a down-hole team is required.” For these reasons, Flowline suggested our 80 GHz radar level sensor that easily installs above grade, reliably measures in small footprints, and is unaffected by turbulence, foam or condensation in sewer and stormwater lift stations. Case closed. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the SCADA system which monitors the sump level and controls the pumps. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
