When an Arkansas water treatment plant needed reliable level measurement of their biosolids, they turned to Flowline. Sludge is dewatered, pulverized and transferred to a truck loading silo. There local farmers receive bulk loads of nutrient rich fertilizer for their fields. Powder or sand like, the silo’s very dusty, and the operators had negative experiences with other radar sensors that failed due to material build-up. For this reason, Flowline suggested the use of our radar sensors with high power parabolic antennas that are unaffected by build-up, and thus perfect for dusty silo applications. The radar sensor provides continuous level data to the SCADA, which monitors the silo and controls the biosolids process. Flowline is reliable level measurement. |
