Application Fields of Ultrasonic Level Meters

1. Industrial Manufacturing: Adapting to Level Monitoring in Complex Working Conditions

• Chemical Industry
  • Used for level monitoring of various storage tanks, reaction kettles, and mixing tanks, such as measuring the level of acid-alkali solutions, solvents, and chemical raw materials (e.g., methanol, ethanol).
  • Advantage: Non-contact measurement avoids direct contact with corrosive media, reducing equipment wear and maintenance costs; some explosion-proof models are suitable for flammable and explosive chemical workshop environments.
• Metallurgy and Mining Industry
  • Monitors the level of blast furnace slag pools, ore pulp pools, coolant tanks, as well as reagent tanks and sedimentation tanks during mineral processing.
  • Advantage: Can penetrate harsh environments like dust and fog, and stably transmit data in dusty metallurgical workshops.
• Food and Pharmaceutical Industry
  • Used for level control of raw material storage tanks (e.g., syrup, edible oil, fermentation broth), cleaning tanks, and batching tanks, as well as level monitoring of wastewater treatment pools.
  • Advantage: No secondary pollution during measurement, meeting food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade hygiene standards; some products support high-temperature cleaning (e.g., adapting to hot water tanks above 80°C).
• Power Industry
  • Monitors the level of boiler water replenishment tanks, condenser hot wells, desulfurization absorption towers, and ash slurry pools to ensure the stability of the power generation system’s water circulation and environmental protection desulfurization processes.
  • Advantage: Strong temperature resistance (some models can withstand temperatures above 150°C), adapting to the high-temperature and high-humidity working conditions of power plants.

2. Water Conservancy and Water Utilities: Covering the Entire “Supply-Drainage-Treatment” Process

• Municipal Water Supply System
  • Monitors the level of clean water reservoirs in waterworks, secondary water supply tanks, and water storage tanks in pipe network booster stations to ensure stable water supply pressure and sufficient water volume.
  • Advantage: Can be installed on the top of the pool without damaging the pool structure; supports remote data transmission, adapting to the centralized management needs of smart water utilities.
• Drainage and Flood Control System
  • Measures the level of urban rainwater wells, sewage lifting pump stations, drainage pipe network inspection wells, and river/reservoir water levels to assist in flood warning and drainage scheduling.
  • Advantage: Strong anti-interference ability, unaffected by turbid rainwater and sewage impurities; some outdoor models have waterproof and lightning-proof designs, adapting to open-air environments.
• Agricultural Water Conservancy
  • Monitors the level of irrigation reservoirs, farmland ditches, and wells, and cooperates with irrigation systems to achieve precise water supply; also used for water level control in aquaculture ponds.
  • Advantage: Moderate cost and flexible installation, suitable for scattered agricultural irrigation scenarios; no interference with aquatic organisms such as fish and shrimp in the water.

3. Environmental Protection and Sewage Treatment: Focusing on Level Control in Pollution Treatment

• Sewage Treatment Plants
  • Covers the entire sewage treatment process: level monitoring of grille wells, equalization tanks, aeration tanks, sedimentation tanks, and sludge thickening tanks to ensure stable water levels in each process link.
  • Advantage: Unaffected by suspended solids and organic matter in sewage, no need for frequent sensor cleaning; can cooperate with automatic control systems to realize automatic sludge discharge and water inflow control.
• Solid Waste and Garbage Treatment
  • Monitors the level of landfill leachate collection pools and landfill anti-seepage liquid storage tanks to prevent leachate leakage from polluting soil or groundwater.
  • Advantage: Resistant to odors and corrosion, adapting to the harsh environment of landfills; non-contact measurement avoids sensor contamination by leachate.
• Hazardous Waste Treatment
  • Used for level monitoring of hazardous waste storage tanks and waste liquid treatment reaction tanks, such as measuring the level of waste acid, waste alkali, and heavy metal waste liquid.
  • Advantage: Explosion-proof and anti-corrosion models can meet the safety specifications for hazardous waste treatment, reducing the safety risks of manual inspection.

4. Warehousing and Logistics: Ensuring Safe Management of Material Storage

• Liquid Material Warehousing
  • Monitors the level of oil depot storage tanks (diesel, gasoline, lubricating oil), chemical raw material storage tanks, and fuel oil storage tanks to realize inventory measurement and overflow warning.
  • Advantage: Some flameproof models meet the explosion-proof requirements of oil and gas warehousing; measurement accuracy can meet the needs of inventory accounting.
• Bulk Solid Material Warehousing
  • Used for “material level” measurement in silos such as grain silos, feed silos, cement silos, and coal powder silos (ultrasonic level meters can be used as level meters universally) to monitor material storage volume.
  • Advantage: Non-contact measurement avoids contact with dust and granular materials, reducing sensor wear; can penetrate the dust environment inside silos.

5. Other Special Fields: Adapting to Personalized Needs of Segmented Scenarios

• Medical Industry
  • Monitors the level of medical disinfectant storage tanks, distilled water storage tanks, and sewage disinfection pools to ensure the stability of medical water use and disinfection processes.
  • Advantage: Sanitary design, no risk of secondary pollution; compact size, adapting to the limited installation space in hospitals.
• Marine and Offshore Engineering
  • Measures the level of ship ballast water tanks, fuel tanks, fresh water tanks, as well as tidal water levels and ship lock water levels at ports and docks.
  • Advantage: Strong anti-vibration and anti-shaking performance, adapting to the dynamic environment during ship navigation; some waterproof models can be used for short-term underwater level monitoring.
• Laboratory and Scientific Research
  • Used for precise level measurement of laboratory reaction kettles, solution storage tanks, and small water tanks, cooperating with experimental equipment to achieve automatic control.
  • Advantage: High accuracy (some models have an error ≤ 0.1%) and fast response speed, meeting the precise needs of scientific research experiments.
