Fill level sensing in a storm water basin

This is installed at the location of a large company operating a natural mineral water spring to continuously sense the fill level in a storm water basin built to drain a car park as well as an outdoor area used to store empty bottles in crates.

The standardised 4-20 mA signal is utilised to control a slide valve and other control components.

Products in use

Pump control in two pump stations

In conjunction with our submersible transmitter a PGS 300 control unit for water management is installed in each of two different (pump) sumps to determine the fill level in a centrally located wastewater pump station. In this configuration the PGS 300 control units each control two wastewater pumps.

The customer's advantage: the changeover integrated in the PGS 300 control unit ensures the connected pumps wear evenly.

Pump control in a storm water basin

In conjunction with our submersible transmitter the PGS 300 control unit for water management is used to determine the fill level in a storm water basin of a large shopping mall in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In this configuration the PGS 300 control unit controls two basin cleaning systems.

The customer's advantage: the trend detection function integrated in the control unit PGS 300 and the cycle-pause function ensure the retention basin is reliably cleaned following a rain event.

Pneumatic fill level sensing in a storm water basin

Our pneumatic fill level sensing EPS-NE-40 controller is used to determine the fill level in the flow dividing structure and in the retention basin of a storm water basin near the Lorelei on the banks of the Rhine River in Germany.
The standardised 4-20 mA signal is evaluated by a PLC and utilised to control a slide valve and other control components.

The customer's advantage: absolutely no electronic components are installed in the basin itself.
It is possible to utilise a rugged version at the sensing location, for example, equipped with stainless steel tubes.
