Reliable Polymer Powder Silo Level Measurement

When an Indiana municipality needed reliable level measurement of their polymer silo, they turned to Flowline. Prior to water disinfection and filtration, the plant steadily mixes and adds polymer slurry to the sewage for improved flocculation and reduced clarification time. The operator said that the past bob-type mechanical level sensor was susceptible to clogging, it required ongoing maintenance and they wanted a non-contact level solution. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our non-contact radar sensors that provide reliable and maintenance-free level measurement of polymer silos. They also installed our ultrasonic sensors in their polymer batch make up tanks to automate the process. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the SCADA which alarms for silo replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
