Which is better for wastewater treatment plant inlet/outlet flow monitoring: electromagnetic or ultrasonic flowmeters?
LGF electromagnetic flowmeters recommended for wastewater treatment plants, unaffected by turbidity, ±0.5% accuracy
For wastewater treatment plant inlet/outlet flow monitoring, LGF series electromagnetic flowmeters are strongly recommended over ultrasonic flowmeters. Wastewater contains suspended solids, grease, and other contaminants that interfere with ultrasonic wave propagation, while electromagnetic flowmeters remain unaffected by medium turbidity.
- Strong anti-pollution capability: Electromagnetic measurement principle unaffected by suspended solids or foam
- High measurement accuracy: ±0.5% accuracy meets environmental agency metering requirements
- Wide adaptability: DN10-DN2000 full series covers various pipe diameter needs
- Low maintenance cost: No mechanical moving parts, low failure rate
- Reliable data: Compatible with EC32/EC60 RTU for automated wastewater treatment process monitoring
For open channel discharge monitoring, consider HZ-KSLF multi-band Doppler radar flowmeters offering non-contact measurement to avoid wastewater contact and easier maintenance. Combining both solutions creates a comprehensive wastewater treatment plant flow monitoring system.
