What is High Precision Industrial Pipeline Slurry Concentration Meter？

High Precision Industrial Pipeline Slurry Concentration Meter For Wastewater Sludge Treatment Project is a professional inline online monitoring instrument independently developed by SINOU, specially customized for full-process sludge concentration continuous detection of municipal sewage plants, industrial chemical wastewater stations and various environmental sludge disposal engineering projects.

Different from universal insertion-type concentration sensors on the market, it is designed as full-through flange pipeline integrated structure to be directly mounted on sludge conveying pipelines, adopting optimized non-nuclear ultrasonic detection principle without radioactive hazard, realizing uninterrupted real-time online solid content testing of activated sludge, thickened sludge, surplus sludge and mixed organic sludge containing fine silt, floating fiber and residual flocculant inside wastewater pipelines.

1. Core Design Orientation & Design Purpose

This High Precision Industrial Pipeline Slurry Concentration Meter For Wastewater Sludge Treatment Project is tailor-made targeting the industry pain points of wastewater sludge: foams generated by biochemical aeration, organic sludge adhesion, unstable concentration fluctuation caused by silt sediment and frequent pipeline blockage.

It is developed to replace traditional manual sampling & laboratory testing mode, output standard 4~20mA and RS485 digital signals to dock with wastewater plant central PLC control cabinet, automatically link variable-frequency sludge feed pump and automatic flocculant dosing system to build closed-loop intelligent sludge treatment control, stabilize sludge dewatering quality, cut chemical consumption and daily manual maintenance cost for wastewater treatment projects.

2. Working Mechanism Introduction

The core measuring technology is upgraded ultrasonic sound attenuation detection. When wastewater sludge continuously flows through the full-bore measuring cavity of the instrument, built-in internal ultrasonic probe transmits fixed-frequency ultrasonic wave into flowing medium; suspended organic particles, silt and micro bubbles inside sludge absorb and scatter ultrasonic energy, the built-in high-precision chip calculates real-time sludge solid concentration value by analyzing the attenuation degree of sound velocity, with independent temperature & pressure compensation program pre-calibrated during production to eliminate measuring error brought by medium temperature and pipeline pressure fluctuation.

Optimized self-learning anti-interference algorithm automatically filters disturbance from aeration microbubbles and tiny organic fiber unique to sewage sludge, ensuring long-term stable measuring accuracy under complex wastewater working conditions.

3. Structural & Material Composition

● Main measuring tube body: Full straight-through seamless pipeline structure without inner dead corners, standard thickened SUS304 stainless steel as default wetted material, optional SUS316L or titanium alloy customization for high-acid, high-alkali, oily corrosive industrial wastewater sludge; inner wall available for fine polishing or ultra-mirror polishing to reduce organic sludge sticking and sediment deposition inside flow channel.

● Top integrated transmitter assembly: IP65 dustproof & waterproof digital display transmitter shell, cast aluminum standard housing, optional all-stainless steel anti-corrosion shell and explosion-proof Ex d customized shell for chemical workshop with volatile harmful gas; equipped with local LED real-time concentration display screen and optional cloud data transmission module for remote historical data storage and export.

● Built-in precision sensing core: Fully immersed ultrasonic sensing component pre-assembled inside pipe cavity, all electronic components pass high-low temperature aging test before assembly to improve environmental adaptability.

4. Main Application Scenarios
