Sludge Blanket Monitor

The EchoSmart Sludge Blanket Monitor is an underwater, interface-level analyzer built on a digital platform with technology that allows us to locate the analyzer in the sensor. Sensors generate and process the ultrasonic signal for continuous, real-time measurement, resulting in greater flexibility in equipment configuration options, enhanced communication capabilities and reduced installation costs.

Continuous, Real-Time Sludge Blanket Level Measurement

EchoSmart is an underwater interface-level analyzer technology that is built on a digital platform. This allows the analyzer to be located in the sensor. The result is greater flexibility in equipment configuration options, enhanced communication capabilities and reduced installation costs. EchoSmart Interface Level Analyzers are unique in that our Smart-Sensor technology enables the control and monitoring of up to 16 Smart Sensors from one EchoSmart Controller. This allows for field networks of sensors, thereby lowering the ‘per-tank’ cost. These field networks can also be created wirelessly, eliminating costly conduit and cabling runs.

EchoSmart is adaptable and can be programmed to suit various tank sizes and designs. Three sensor models provide a solution for most applications: the standard sensor with multi-flex assembly for when surface skimmers are present, the self-cleaning sensor for applications without surface skimmers, and the sensor with turbidity that offers further insight into water clarity.

Features

  • Automatic initialization for easy start-up
  • Adaptive algorithms in each sensor for uninterrupted operation
  • Installation and networked flexibility
  • Turbidity measurement option

Market Applications

  • Wastewater Treatment

    Wastewater treatment facilities feature complex operational processes involving a wide range of flow measurement, water quality monitoring and toxic gas detection solutions, designed to conserve water, increase regulatory compliance and safeguard water quality, people and the environment. From individual monitors to multiparameter measurement, our versatile solutions deliver continuous and proactive monitoring for early event detection, odor control, pollution prevention, chemical management and toxic gas detection.

  • Industrial Pre-Treatment

    Industrial pre-treatment is a crucial stage in the water cycle, occurring before wastewater enters municipal treatment facilities. It involves the removal of contaminants, pollutants, and other harmful substances from industrial wastewater streams to meet regulatory standards and protect the environment. This process typically includes physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods tailored to specific industrial processes and pollutants. By effectively pre-treating industrial wastewater, we can safeguard water quality, prevent damage to treatment infrastructure, and ensure the overall health of ecosystems downstream.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I calibrate the EchoSmart sensors?
The sensors require no calibration. The sensor’s ultrasonic design is already customized for the application and therefore requires no calibration.

How often do the EchoSmart sensors need to be cleaned?
It is recommended that the sensors be inspected frequently the first 3 to 6 months to establish the necessary cleaning regimen for the specific application. Ensuring the measurement surface of the sensor remains clear of any buildup (and that the wiper arm is allowed to rotate freely, when applicable) will allow for uninterrupted performance.

Is it possible to see both the blanket level and the dispersed solids above the blanket?
When the sludge is well-settled, yes. The displayed measurement will be the sludge level and the dispersed solids can be visually observed on the Tank View screen and is additionally available for output via Modbus or a 4-20mA output.

What outputs are available on the EchoSmart system?
Current measurements can be obtained via Modbus RTU from the Controller or via 4-20mA outputs from each sensor connection.

Is it possible to utilize the wireless field network and get the measurement at our control system via 4-20mA outputs?
Yes. A digital-to-analog (Modbus to 4-20mA) sixteen-channel converter is available for purchase. This device utilizes the Controller’s ability to wirelessly retrieve data from each sensor and then converts those values to individual and configurable 4-20mA outputs.
