Abstract:

There are numerous well-proven options available for level determination instrumentation. Instrumenting treatment processes present some unique challenges. Some of these include the ability for wastewater or residuals to clog and blind instruments. Level determination in an anaerobic digester presents these problems as well as others including foaming, surface agitation, and operation in a methane environment. The radar level instrument provides a new technology that has the potential of overcoming these problems to provide reliable and accurate level readings in Digesters.
