Level Measurement System Serves Multiple Roles at WWTP

摘要

Wastewater treatment plants must have reliable instrumentation to prevent spills and maintenance headaches. Staff at Flint Water Pollution Control (WPC) of Flint, MI, an 80 mgd facility, recently faced the challenge of monitoring levels on their ferrous chloride tanks and upgrading old, useless flow monitors on the weir channels in the facility's primary tanks. They had tried a variety of instruments on the ferrous chloride without success, and the old mechanical float/dial gauge flow monitors were rusted out and basically non-functional. Both applications are critical to environmental safety and efficient operation of the plant.
