Measurements on the sewer to the sewage treatment plant

Sewer and wastewater systems are particularly harsh environments for sensors due to the adverse atmosphere.

A robust measuring principle combined with reliable data transmission are the criteria for a suitable sensor. Whether in contact with the medium or not: you are always on the safe side with sensor equipment from ACS Control System!

ADVANTAGE OF NON-CONTACT MEASUREMENTS IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS

  • No buildup, as there is no contact with the medium
  • Continuous measurement of the filling level, not only limit contact
  • Can be additionally equipped with up to 4 freely adjustable limit values
  • Data logger function with 1 million measured values
  • Bluetooth interface for data transmission
  • Easy commissioning due to large display in connection with plain text programming

Due to the increased size of the systems, but also due to legal requirements, the demands on the systems are increasing. Fault-free and automated technical processes therefore have a direct impact on the quality of work and working hours of the operator. The aim is to keep the degree of capacity utilization and plant availability at the highest possible level.
Measurement technology from ACS Control-System can make an important contribution. With over two decades of experience in the fields of level, pressure, temperature and flow measurement technology, we can also offer a suitable measurement technology and automation package for your system.

Application

Continuous level measurement in wastewater treatment plants via the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column or non-contact level and volume measurement or flow measurement

 

Functional principle

Continuous level measurement in sewage treatment plants via the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column:
The pressure is measured via a robust and highly accurate ceramic sensor and converted into an analog output signal.
The measurement signal is output via an analog output and can be further processed in the biogas plant’s control system. In addition, up to 4 adjustable limit values are possible in order to trigger direct control processes from the sensor. An integrated data logger also enables up to 500,000 measured values to be saved and thus the substrate feed of the last few weeks to be analyzed. The measured values can be read out via a Bluetooth interface and processed in Excel.

Non-contact level and volume measurement or flow measurement in sewage treatment plants: The sensor is mounted above the storage tank and measures the fill level without contact using the ultrasonic measuring principle or radar.
