The previously installed sludge blanket monitors were failing to keep track of the interface layer when the turbidity increased. This resulted in bogging all of their saturators and thickeners one after another. The process engineers at SUEZ dealt with significant product loss from downtime and had to come up with a solution fast.
HAWK recommended the Sultan Sonar System on their lime saturators and thickeners. HAWK’s Sultan Sonar uses advanced sonar technology with interface level measurement to measure and control wastewater clarifiers and thickeners. The Sultan Sonar System is capable of measuring the sludge bed level at the bottom of a clarifier or the lightest flocculent later.
Since installation in 2020, SUEZ has been able to accurately measure interface level and has required no maintenance on their lime saturators and residual thickeners.
