Level Measurement in Pumping Stations

Reliable and continuous control of water levels with radar level sensors to avoid dry-running and overflow

Radar level sensors that are unaffected by ambient conditions

Depending on the steepness of the terrain, pump stations are needed to transport water into the treatment plant. Level measurement is needed to monitor the level inside the pump station and avoid both pump dry-running, and overflows. Pumping stations are defined by high current spikes as pumps turn on, which is why reliable and resilient instrumentation is needed in these applications.
