Water and Waste
Industrial Solutions

• The water plants usually provide a very
  convenient environment for ultrasonic level
  measurement.
•  
• Wastewater treatments present a more difficult
  measurement
• environment, with vapors and gases, foam and
  steam that result in water condensation.
• Ultrasonic level measurement technology is a
  common method of measuring flow through an open
  channel. The sensor measures the height or head
  of the liquid as it passes over an obstruction (a
  flume or weir) in the channel.
