Industrial outflow monitor
Chemical plants, public utilities, power stations, oil or gas processing facilities and wastewater treatment factory those all have some forms of industrial outflow which needs to be monitored and reported. Hydro-Power companies requires measure the volume, temperature and quality of water . Traditional coal & gas power stations have cooling water discharges that needs to be monitored, to ensure the temperature being returned to a lake or reservoir is not above acceptable limits. Sewage treatment factory need to measure and record any effluent from sewer treatment plants which is being discharged back into the environment.
Typically measured parameters for industrial outflow are water temperature, flow, depth, acidity, alkalinity and salinity. The meters are generally deployed in outflow pipes or channels. There are different methods to measure the fluid flow and depth.
For those similar applications, Lanry can supply flow velocity flow sensor probe is measured by the ultrasonic Doppler principle which relies on suspended particles or small air bubbles in the water to reflect the ultrasonic detector signal. Water depth is measured by a hydrostatic pressure sensor. QSD6537 sensor ensure the real flow based on the setting of channel / pipe shapes and dimensions by users .
QSD6537 sensor can be applied to rivers and streams, open channels,drainagle pipe and large pipes. The QSD6537 sensor would typically be installed at the bottom of the outflow channel using a mounting bracket, the sensor cable would connect to a power source housed inside a small enclosure usually located at the side of the channel.
It is essential to consider the power request of on-site . If the main power is available, the system will add a small battery as a backup, in case the main power breaks off . If the main power is not easily accessible, the system can be powered by a lithium battery pack or rechargeable solar power system.
As the doppler flow monitor meter chosen, a lithium battery pack (non- rechargeable) can provide independent power source for about 2 years. A solar power system consists of a rechargeable lead acid sealed battery, a solar panel and solar controller. The solar power system should be properly rated for the instruments used and as such will provide a long-term power solution.
