The ultrasonic sludge level meter, also called the sludge interface meter, is an online sludge level meter with a microprocessor. The entire measurement system mainly consists of Monitor and Level Detector.
Ultrasonic sludge interface meter/sludge level meter is widely used in sludge interface measurement in sedimentation tanks, secondary sedimentation tanks, and sludge concentration tanks of sewage treatment; mud level measurement in sedimentation tanks in water plants, water supply plants (sedimentation tanks), and sand washing Mud level measurement in plants (sedimentation tanks) and electric power plants (mortar sedimentation tanks).

Sludge Blanket Level detection principle
Ultrasonic mud-water interface measurement uses an ultrasonic sensor installed in the water to emit a beam of ultrasonic pulses to the underwater mud surface. This pulse signal is reflected back when it encounters the muddy water surface, and can be received by the sensor again.
The time from when an ultrasonic wave is transmitted to when it is received again is proportional to the distance from the sensor to the surface of the object being measured. The meter detects this time and the speed of sound underwater based on the current temperature (measured by the sensor). Calculate the distance from the surface of the measured object to the sensor (ie, the spatial distance). Then further convert the liquid level value.
The empty underwater distance W on the liquid level surface is proportional to the travel time T of the sound wave: W=V×T/2 (where V is the speed of the sound wave in water).
The user sets the height H from the probe to the bottom of the pool, and the instrument automatically converts the pulse travel time T into the corresponding spatial distance value W, and then calculates the difference between H minus W, which is the measured value L.
Why measure sludge level?
In the process of industrial wastewater treatment, agricultural irrigation, and water quality monitoring in rivers, sludge will be a by-product.
The sludge level is the interface between settled sludge and the turbid or clear water phase above. Sludge level can be given as the distance from the water surface (sludge level depth) or the distance from the bottom of the pool (sludge level height).
Effective sludge level measurement can optimize sludge extraction, treatment and disposal. Sludge overflow can be avoided by setting an alarm (relay output, etc.) for the sludge level meter. Better control and manage the entire sewage treatment process and improve the operational efficiency of the treatment plant.
Of course, in sewage treatment plants and other industrial water treatment processes, liquid level measurement and sludge level monitoring are equally important. You can check out our ultrasonic level meters for more information.

The Ultrasonic Sludge Level Meter is designed for continuous online monitoring of the sludge interface in wastewater treatment processes. The reliable ultrasonic echo detection principle is used to detect the distance between the sensor probe and the sludge interface and the distance from the bottom surface. It realizes real-time monitoring of sludge thickness changes and control of related process processes. Thus, sludge discharge control and dosing control are optimized to prevent Deterioration of effluent. Avoid denitrification and decomposition of sludge and optimize process control flow.
