Sewer Pump Lift Station Radar Level Measurement

When a Texas municipality needed reliable level measurement of their sewer pump stations, they turned to Flowline. These waste receptacles are laden with water, feces, paper, trash, detergents and oil that coat everything it touches. Following a costly overflow, the city council requested a failure analysis and preventative action recommendation from the water department. Not surprisingly, it was determined that the float level switches had stuck through a combination of material build up due to coating and entanglement due to turbulence. For this reason, Flowline suggested our non-contact radar sensor that’s easy to install, maintenance free and intrinsically safe for methane gas. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the SCADA system, which monitors the stations and controls the pumps. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
