Wastewater Treatment Plant Inlet Flow Monitoring

Flow measurement in a large sewer pipe at the inlet of a large wastewater treatment plant

Customer

  • Water utility managing different wastewater treatment plants
  • The site to be measured is under the observation of the environment agency

Task Definition

  • Allow precise flow measurements, even when the channel is surcharged, what regularly occurs
  • Conditions: high velocities with shallow flows, no flow shutdown possible
  • Measurement location: inlet of a wastewater treatment plant, before the raw grid (bar screens)
  • Installation has to be done without entering the manhole
  • Partly filled circular pipe (DN1500)
