Wastewater Sump Level Switches

Sump level switches and continuous level measurement for wastewater sumps, from high and low level alarms to automatic fill and empty control.

Preventing Sump Overfill and Pump Run-Dry Conditions

Real World Example

Wastewater sumps are commonly used throughout a variety of industries to collect left over contaminants including rainwater, oil, sand, dirt as well as oil and gas wastewaters. Once collected and contained, these contaminants can then be disposed of at a later time. Proper monitoring and measurement of the level inside these sumps is critical in order to prevent overfill or pump run-dry conditions.

Point Level Switches provide simple, reliable high or low level alarm indication. These units can be utilized as either a primary or secondary instrumentation to provide redundancy.

A dual point level switch can be used to automatically fill or empty a sump.

Ultrasonic level transmitters provide continuous level measurement and output a 4/20mA signal that can be run to a display, PLC or DCS.

Industries: Oil & Gas, Recycling, Water/Wastewater, Cement, Aggregate, Food/Beverage, Chemical, Power Generation, Paper, Petrochemical & Refining.
