Press Release Summary:
Model MSL600 sludge measurement system consists of transducer unit suspended in supernatant that transmits ultrasonic pulses. Time of flight of echo determines height of blanket to accuracy of ±25 mm. Blanket level measurement and graphical display of sludge blanket can be displayed continuously on control unit in plant control room. Air-purge system prevents sensor face fouling by cleaning face from debris at user-programmable intervals.
Original Press Release:
Sludge Measurement System Survives Extreme Weather Conditions
A new sludge level monitoring system, designed for reliable sludge control even in hostile environments, has been introduced by Solartron Mobrey of Houston, Texas.
The MSL600 sludge measurement system is used for sludge control in sewage plants, often in a plant's primary settlement tank. The ultrasonic transducer unit, suspended in the supernatant, transmits an ultrasonic pulse, which is reflected off the sludge blanket. The time of flight of the echo determines the height of the blanket to an accuracy of ±25mm.
Blanket level measurement and a graphical display of the sludge blanket can be displayed continuously on the control unit in the plant's control room.
Fouling of the sensor face in the hostile environment of the sludge tank is prevented by an innovative air-purge system that cleans the face of debris at regular, user-programmable intervals. Much more effective than mechanical cleaning devices - which can themselves easily become fouled - the MSL600 air purge system maintains the reliability and accuracy of the measurement.
Solartron Mobrey - a single-source supplier of level, flow, pressure, density, viscosity and other measurement solutions - provides continuous precision monitoring for process industries worldwide.
