Ultrasonic level measurement in water and wastewater plants
Ultrasonic sensors can often be a better choice than radar for level measurement applications
Ultrasonic sensors are used even in harsh environments for water applications. Here, ultrasonic transmitters are being used to measure level on the incoming water in a water plant.
Radar technology is often viewed as the best method of level measurement, but this is not necessarily true in the water industry. Although radar technologies certainly do offer high performance and accuracy, in many water and wastewater applications non-contact level measurement using ultrasonic is the best choice due to its lower cost and application-specific benefits. This paper will compare ultrasonic and radar sensors, and provide examples where ultrasonic instruments are the best choice.

Efficient & safe wastewater treatment with ultrasonic level
Some ultrasonic level instruments on the market today have features implemented specifically for the wastewater industry. Ultrasonic level instruments can be a cost effective and beneficial part of an efficient and safe wastewater treatment plant and should be considered when selecting instruments.
