Water industry

Water resources are the lifeblood of human survival and development. In the water industry, whether it is raw water storage, water supply dispatching or sewage treatment, GSR radar level meter shoulders important responsibilities.

In raw water storage tanks and clear pools for urban water supply, it provides a key basis for accurate water allocation. With its high resolution, it can accurately measure the liquid level height, and the error is controlled within a small range to ensure the stable supply of water for residents. Water workers can rationally dispatch pumps based on real-time liquid level data to avoid insufficient water supply or water tank overflow and achieve efficient use of water resources.

In the sewage treatment plant, from the primary sedimentation tank, aeration tank to the secondary sedimentation tank, the liquid level needs to be accurately monitored in every link. GSR radar level meter can adapt to impurities, foam, odors and complex water flow fluctuations in sewage, stabilize the output of liquid level information, ensure the smooth progress of sewage treatment process according to the process, help sewage discharge standards, protect the ecological environment.


Environmental protection field 

Environmental protection is about the future of the planet, and GSR radar level gauges play an important role in it.

In the landfill leachate treatment project, the traditional liquid level measurement method is easy to fail due to the complex composition of leachate, strong corrosion, odor and dust in the treatment site. GSR radar level meter can meet the difficulties, with its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and strong anti-interference ability, accurate measurement of leachate level, ensure the continuous process of treatment, prevent leachate leakage to soil and groundwater pollution.

In the slurry storage tank after desulfurization and denitrification of industrial waste gas, the level measurement also faces challenges. Solid particles in the slurry, foam produced by chemical reactions, etc., can interfere with measurement. With its extremely narrow beam and excellent penetration, the GSR radar level meter accurately obtains the liquid level value, provides support for the stable operation of environmental protection equipment, ensures the exhaust gas treatment standards, and helps the green transformation of enterprises.

Precision adaptation

 

According to different application fields and process requirements, select the matching accuracy level. In the fine chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries with strict control of liquid level accuracy, high-precision radar liquid level meter should be selected, whose millimeter-level measurement accuracy can provide reliable guarantee for fine production processes and avoid product quality problems caused by liquid level errors. In some large-scale liquid storage scenarios with relatively low demand for liquid level accuracy, such as crude oil storage tanks, under the premise of meeting basic safety monitoring, appropriate precision products can be selected based on factors such as cost, to ensure that both demand can be met and cost-effective.

 

Environmental coping

 

Fully consider the operating environment the radar level gauge will face. On the one hand, pay attention to the temperature and humidity range, in the high-temperature steel smelting workshop or cold outdoor water storage facilities, the selected equipment needs to have the corresponding temperature resistance performance to prevent the failure of electronic components or measurement deviation due to extreme temperatures; On the other hand, if there are corrosive media in the environment, such as next to the acid and alkali storage tank in the chemical workshop, it is necessary to ensure that the liquid level gauge shell and antenna material have strong corrosion resistance to avoid premature damage to the equipment. In addition, where there is strong smoke, dust, foam or steam, it is also necessary to choose products that can effectively penetrate interference and stabilize the measurement.

 

Convenience of installation and operation

 

Choosing a radar level meter that is easy to install and maintain can greatly reduce the operation and maintenance costs and manpower investment of enterprises. When installing, give priority to those products with reasonable structural design, complete accessories, and clear installation steps, which can reduce installation time and error probability; In terms of daily maintenance, such as the self-diagnosis function of the equipment, the antenna is easy to clean, and the parameter setting is convenient, it will facilitate the staff to quickly troubleshoot, clean and maintain, and adjust the parameters according to the changes in working conditions, so as to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

 

System compatibility

 

Ensuring that the selected radar level gauge is highly compatible with the company's existing systems is critical to enabling seamless automated production processes. Whether it is data transmission interface (such as RS485, HART, etc.), communication protocol, or power supply mode, it should be matched with the existing control system and monitoring software of the factory, so as to easily integrate, realize real-time data sharing, remote control, and improve the overall production efficiency.
