Reliable Sewer Pump Station Radar Level Measurement

When a Gulf Coast municipality needed reliable level measurement of their sewer pump stations, they turned to Flowline. As the operator explained, the water department struggled with level problems here for decades. Twenty years ago, they replaced sticking floats with non-contact ultrasonic sensors. Then a few years later, tired of condensation and foam-based intermittency, they replaced ultrasonic with pressure sensors. Then they faced a learned choice, “Either we suspend them for easy removal and cleaning, and agitation damages them, or we affix them to the bottom, and have to send a man down there to clean them when they clog.” That was two years ago. Since then, they’ve deployed twelve reliable and maintenance-free Flowline radar sensors and are very satisfied. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the panel mount display and SCADA, which monitors the stations and controls the pumps. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
