Used for primary settlement pond
Pulsar Process Measurement provides solutions for sludge-level monitoring on primary tanks, secondary tanks and SBRs. The Pulsar Sludge Finder 2 is suitable for primary and secondary settlement tanks, clarifiers, stationary and travelling bridge applications, gravity thickeners, reactor clarifiers, DAF thickeners, sequential batch reaction tanks and industrial process thickeners.
Bintech Systems installed a trial sludge-level unit for one month in November 2010 in South East Queensland. After a successful trial period, two complete units were ordered in December 2010. The two units were installed in January 2011 to replace another manufacturer’s sludge-level device.
The transducer is positioned on a retractable rod system off a gantry over primary settlement ponds. The controllers are mounted in a switchboard in the middle of gantry walkway.
Pulsar’s Sludge Finder 2 is a versatile, accurate and reliable solution to the problem of accurately measuring interface levels in primary or secondary settlement tanks and SBR systems. Operating ultrasonically through liquid, the device uses echo-processing algorithms to identify the sludge interface level by digital echo-processing techniques available in this unit.
