FMCW Or ToF? Which Radar Level Technology Is Best For Tank Gauging In Custody Transfer Applications?
Measuring the level of tanks used to hold fluids for custody transfer can be expensive. This is not due to the cost of the measurement instrumentation, but to what inaccurate measurements can cost the company. Picking the right instrumentation for applications is important. Which radar level technology should you choose for tank gauging in custody transfer applications? Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform (FMCW) or pulsed Time-of-Flight (ToF or PToF).

Thermoformed Vs. Extruded Tube Settlers
Tube settlers use multiple tubular channels, which are adjacent to each other and sloped at nominal 60˚ angles, to form an increased effective settling area. This configuration allows for a shorter particle setting depth, and as the tube settler channels collect solids, they form a compact mass that promotes the solids to slide down the channel. Tube settlers are an inexpensive method of upgrading existing clarifiers and sedimentation basins by allowing increased flow rate and/or improved performance. They can also reduce the footprint of new clarifier construction.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER
-
In areas with storm drains, the water can quickly overwhelm the drains, causing flooding hazards. For this reason, many towns have ordinances dictating how much ground can be covered with impermeable substrates.
-
Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.
-
Strategic flow monitoring helps wastewater utilities curb overflows, cut costs, and safeguard public health by turning accurate data into proactive action.
