Foam, buildup, gas overlay

Application

The organic components of sewage sludge are decomposed under anaerobic conditions in heated, closed digestion tanks. In the process, combustible gases such as methane are released from the sludge. These are collected in a biogas tank and then converted into electricity and heat in cogeneration (CHP) plants. A level sensor controls the filling of the digester. To ensure that no foam gets into the gas system along with the collected gas, a point level sensor is used for monitoring.

Your benefit

Reliable
Reliable level measurement and protection against foam overfill
Cost effective
Continuous, maintenance-free operation of the digester
User friendly
