Stormwater Pumping Station Radar Level Measurement

When a Caribbean water treatment plant needed reliable level measurement of their stormwater lift stations, they turned to Flowline. Rain varies from daily sprinkles to hurricanes, and the municipality struggles with stormwater management. The I&C engineer explained that their number one failure was float level switches which are susceptible to trash, agitation, tangling and grease. So much so, they had up to eight float switches in each station for redundancy, but they too needed maintenance. The municipality needed to install reliable non-contact level measurement in each station, and decided to use float switches for backup alarms only. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our LR80 radar sensor that’s simple to install, easy to configure, and reliably measures lift stations, canals and reservoirs. Best yet, they operate maintenance free. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the SCADA, which monitors the stations and controls lead-lag pump transfer. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
