Stormwater Run-Off Flume Flow Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When a California municipality needed reliable flow measurement of their stormwater run-off flumes, they turned to Flowline. To retain water that would otherwise go to the ocean, the state’s increasingly diverting highway stormwater into nearby settling ponds to recharge their aquifers. There the I&C engineer had setup several flumes to measure the effectiveness of these programs by comparing the volume of stormwater discharged into the ponds versus their impact on increasing the level height of the aquifers. To do so, he needed a reliable, non-contact level sensor with a small dead band, minimal installation footprint and no display. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our EchoPod ultrasonic level sensor that’s small, easy to install, and features an industry leading 2″ dead band. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the SCADA, which translates this to gallons for analysis. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
