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 eight float switches in each station for redundancy, but they also needed maintenance. The municipality decided to install reliable non-contact level measurement in each station, and use float switches for backup alarm controls only. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our 80-GHz radar level sensors that are simple to install, easy to configure, and reliably measure stormwater lift stations, canals and reservoirs. These sensors received Process Instrumentations Innovation Award. See why. 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.
