Wastewater Open Channel Radar Flow Measurement

When a Northwest sugar processing plant needed reliable open channel flow measurement of their industrial waste stream, they turned to Flowline. The company measures, totalizes and reports the wastewater they release each month to the water plant for environmental compliance and treatment billing. The measurement is taken in a parshall flume located in the sewer entrance. The waste is hot, condensing and often foaming. The operator complained that the previous ultrasonic sensor was intermittent in this application, and they needed reliable measurement. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our LR15 radar sensor that’s unaffected by changing media or environmental factors. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the LI55 level controller which linearizes and repeats the signal to the PLC for data logging. Flowline is reliable flow measurement.
