  • Control of chemical dosing in wastewater treatment
    Various wastewater treatment processes require the controlled dosing of chemicals into the process stream either to assist the treatment or to remove undesirable elements. In order for the dosing pumps to work efficiently, works operators need to be constantly aware of what is happening in the treatment process so that dosing levels and speeds can be adjusted accordingly. UK-based Partech Instruments has developed feed forward control systems employing on-line analysers in the inlet stream to send real-time data to a dosing control system for automatic adjustment of the dosing pump. Bryan Orchard reports.
  • Submerged vertical safety concept
    The damaged pipe at a Swedish unloading terminal led to the creation of a special design for molten sulphur tanks. This required a 17 m long vertical pump that had to be lowered in from the top to avoid tapping the tank at the bottom. VDMA's Stephan Näckel and Per Karlsson describe this technical development.
  • Ultrasonics control in sewage stations
    The essential need of the wastewater industry to accurately control sewage-pumping stations at a minimum cost has driven pump control technology to new heights of sophistication. Non-contacting ultrasonic measurement is the key to success, as Pulsar Process Measurement's Keith Flint explains.
  • Process Industry: Automation and communication
    Comprehensive and interrelated communication between the field units and a central control station is indispensable in the modern process industry. This is particularly so where many pumps are performing delicate and accurate operations. Ralph Held, director of engineering and product management of sera at Seybert & Rahier GmbH discusses how a new generation of diaphragm dosing pumps lends itself to automation.

Submersible level transmitters offer stable measurements

09 November 2009

Pressure measurement specialists Impress Sensors & Systems Ltd has launched a new range of submersible hydrostatic level transmitters that can be used in depths of up to 200 m.

The submersible hydrostatic level transmitters have an SDI-12 digital output and an in-built temperature sensor. The transmitters use piezoresistive technology, which provides long term stability and repeatability of measurements, according to Impress Sensors and Systems Ltd.

The SDI-12L transmitter offers measurement ranges from 0.5 mWG up to 200 mWG and the output units can be adjusted to mmWG, cmWG, inHg and all the standard engineering units required via the SDI-12 interface and command structure. The temperature range of the submersible hydrostatic level transmitter is from –20°C up to +60°C. Accuracy of the inbuilt temperature sensor is less than ±0.1% of full-scale output.
The SDI-12L range is made of either a stainless steel silicon or ceramic in marine-bronze. The SDl-12L transmitter is suitable for a wide range of applications, including the monitoring of river and reservoir levels, tanks and vessels in process plants, seawater and estuary levels, borehole water levels, tsunami and tidal monitoring systems, wave height measurement, environmental monitoring and V-notch weir flow measurement.
