Application

• Pipe with 0.7 m diameter, made of stainless steel
• Fully filled
• Point of installation in telescopic pipe

Definition of tasks

• Detection of sludge volumes to monitor and to control even sludge discharge from the secondary clarification tanks
• The only possible access to the volume flow is the vertically retractable telescopic pipe
• Maintenance-free operation and a measurement uncertainty of less than 5% shall be guaranteed
• Implementation without major reconstruction measures

Solution

• The flow measurement system Type NFP for full pipes has been used.
• The fully submersible sensor Type POA has been installed in the top section of the telescopic pipe.
• Flow profile detection enables accurate flow measurement. Dry solid contents higher than 1% do not affect the measurement.
