Flow measurement in wastewater treatment is often complicated by challenging fluids like raw sewage, thick sludge, and abrasive slurries. These media are difficult for conventional meters due to high solids content, gas bubbles, and corrosive or abrasive materials that clog, damage, or degrade sensors. Inaccurate readings lead to inefficiencies, poor process control, wasted chemicals, and compliance issues. KROHNE’s OPTISONIC family of ultrasonic flow meters is specifically engineered to overcome these obstacles. With transit-time technology, non-contact design, and flush-mounted or clamp-on sensors, the OPTISONIC line resists fouling and wear while delivering consistent, accurate measurements—even in the presence of entrained gas and solids. The meters’ advanced signal processing filters out process noise and maintains stability, and optional UFC 300 converters enable real-time diagnostics and condition monitoring. From inline models like the OPTISONIC 6300 to flexible configurations for retrofits, this solution provides long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. Learn how OPTISONIC helps wastewater operators measure even the toughest flows confidently and cost-effectively.
