Separation Layer Measurement in Primary Clarifier
Wastewater Treatment Plant - Preclarification
Application
- Rectangular basin 30 m x 8.5 m with two outlet funnels
- Basin depth 2.8 m
- Funnel depth 5.8 m
Definition of tasks
- Sludge discharge control depending on the sludge level
- Continuous detection of both sludge levels and analog transmission to the control system
- Cost-efficient measurement system
Solution
- The two-channel version of the NivuScope 2 measurement system has been used to detect two separate sludge levels.
- Both separate sludge levels have been transmitted to the control system using both current outputs.
Advantages
-
Maintaining a defined sludge level increases the dry substance concentration and hence increases the efficiency of the digestion tower
