Multi-Channel Sludge Blanket Level Monitor

AMETEK Drexelbrookng a field proven algorithm, the CCS4000 Multi-Channel Sludge Blanket Level Monitor can keep track of effluent quality in up to four separate water and wastewater treatment clarifiers and thickeners. The system uses ultrasonic technology to measure the compacted sludge level, the lighter rag material above the interface and clarity loss in the water above the blanket and rag levels. Compacted sludge tracking is designed to ensure that only dense sludge is withdrawn from the vessel. The lighter rag layer can be tracked to monitor the settling characteristics of the vessel, and the output can be used to control the use of chemical additives.

The clarity loss measurement provides an early warning of potential blanket break-up and deteriorating effluent quality, affording the operator time to react to a potential washout condition. This unit is delivered pre-configured., with only the vessel depth needing to be entered. All system parameters can be changed in the field through keypad entry.
