KDA flow velocity sensors are suitable for continuous measurement of slight to heavily polluted media. The wedge-shaped sensors are designed for installation on either the channel wall or the channel bottom.
Combined with transmitter types such as PCM F and OCM F the result is a complete flow measurement system.
Typical applications for KDA wedge sensors
- Wastewater treatment plants: intake, discharge, activated sludge tank intakes, return sludge, recirculation, surplus sludge, digester discharge and flocculant dosage
- Permanent measurements on stormwater treatment facilities such as stormwater overflow tanks, rainwater sedimentation and retention tanks
- Direct discharge control, infiltration (extraneous water) or leakage detection
- Industrial wastewater networks
- Measurement campaigns in channel networks
