Submersible Level Sensor for Sewage Application
A submersible level sensor or water level sensor for sewage applications is designed to measure the level of liquid in environments where the sensor may be completely submerged, such as sewage or wastewater systems. These sensors are built to withstand harsh conditions, including exposure to solids, chemicals, and sludge found in sewage. MeasureX offers different types of Submersible level sensors depending on various operating environments and output requirements.
Key Features of Submersible Level Sensors for Sewage Applications:
- Corrosion Resistance: Made from materials like stainless steel or rugged polymers to resist corrosion from chemicals and sewage. MRL23 from MeasureX is made of PVDF body and housing specially used in acidic environments.
- IP68 Protection: Fully sealed to prevent water ingress, making them suitable for long-term submersion.
- Pressure-Based Measurement: They usually function by measuring hydrostatic pressure, which increases with liquid depth, allowing the sensor to calculate the fluid level
- Anti-Clog Design: Some sensors are equipped with self-cleaning capabilities or a design that minimizes clogging from solids or sludge.
- High Accuracy: Despite the harsh environment, these sensors are typically highly accurate, with output in analog (4-20 mA,0/5V) or digital (Modbus, HART) formats.
- Temperature Compensation: Many have built-in temperature sensors to compensate for temperature variations in the fluid that could affect the readings.
- Wide Range of Depths: Available for shallow depths (a few meters) to deep applications (over 200mH2O.)
Applications:
- Sewage treatment plants
- Stormwater management systems
- Industrial wastewater systems
- Septic systems
- Process industries
Example Products:
- MRL21: A robust General purpose submersible level sensor designed for sewage and wastewater applications used by many customers around the world. Has got very low failure rate and has been one the best tank level sensor in the market.
- MRL23: Made of PVDF body and housing with ceramic diaphragm. Mainly used in acidic media where corrosion is the main problem.
- MRL25: MeasureX unique low powered voltage output water tank level sensor supplied with 0/2.5V output and 3 V input supply. Has got low power consumption compared to all other sensors in the market and mainly used in battery powered applications.
