Ultrasonic Level System Helps Protect The Environment And Reduce Expenses

A municipal water company in southern Ontario, Canada faces challenges related to energy usage and overspill detection. The company serves a mix of urban and rural customers and aims to reduce energy usage and costs during pumping by monitoring pump control. Premature shutoffs before pumps reach their full pumping rate increase expenses. The company also continuously monitors for potential wastewater overflow to protect the environment.

The solution was to install SITRANS LUT400 series ultrasonic level controllers from Siemens throughout the water system in both the clean water supply and wastewater treatment plants. These controllers help monitor levels in local wet wells and treatment plants, thereby protecting the environment.
