Wastewater Storage Tank Radar Level Measurement

When a Mississippi food company needed reliable level measurement of their wastewater bulk tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm processes vegetables for private label customers where they wash, cut, package and ship. Upon receipt, the vegetables are soaked in disinfectant baths and spray washed to remove pollutants. The resulting wastewater is collected and pumped into three storage tanks awaiting pick up and disposal via tanker railcars. There the operator said that the waste stream typically foams as it enters the tanks, which caused prior ultrasonic level sensors to measure intermittently during and after pump transfer. For this reason, Flowline suggested our LR15 radar sensor that’s unaffected by foam, vapor or agitation. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors the tanks and controls the pumps. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
