Sewer wells manage the wastewater flows of city populations. In periods of excessive flow, combined sewer systems can exceed their capacity. Therefore, they have a discharge system that dumps this excess wastewater into nearby rivers, streams or other water bodies. Any wastewater discharges must be monitored and recorded to avoid large fines. These applications are tough as instrumentation is frequently submerged, turbulent, space-restricted, corrosive, and prone to waste build-up. The application environment is very unpleasant to deal with, which is why installation needs to be quick and easy.
The Rosemount 1208 Series provides accurate and reliable level measurement and open channel flow calculations. The radar level transmitter has been designed to solve challenges in water and wastewater-, utilities- and basic chemical applications. The Rosemount 1208 uses continuous non-contacting radar technology in a compact PVDF housing with drinking water and food grade approvals. Its encapsulated design also withstands outdoor conditions and is fully submersible over extended periods of time. The Rosemount 1208 Series communicates via Bluetooth® wireless technology, 4-20 mA HART® or IO-link and has a broad range of mounting accessories, making it easily integrate into both new as well as existing systems..
