When a Southern California municipality needed reliable level measurement of their coagulant day tanks, they turned to Flowline. The treatment plant injects aluminum sulfate as a flocculant to remove chemical phosphorous from inbound waste in their clarifier tanks. This aqueous solution of iron salts is highly corrosive, coating and scaling. The I&E tech said that prior float and conductance level sensors had failed due to coating buildup, and he needed reliable chemical-feed tank level measurement. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our non-contact ultrasonic sensors that are constructed of PVDF and ideal for chemical feed applications. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the SCADA system which monitors the tanks and alarms for refill. Flowline is reliable level measurement. |
