Pressure Transducers Designed For

Wastewater & Water Treatment

Core Sensors offers a wide variety of pressure transducer designs that cater to the wastewater and water treatment industry. Common measurement points include:

  • Lift/pumping station
  • Transportation
  • Weir box level measurement
  • Treated water storage tank level measurement

Lift/Pumping Station

Wastewater lift stations, or pumping stations, are an integral part in the transportation and eventual treatment of wastewater and other used water. Wastewater is commonly transported through piping systems, using gravity to move the water from one location to another. Using gravity helps keep costs down during transportation. However, gravity cannot be used when the wastewater needs to be transported to a higher elevation. This is where lift stations come in.

There are three main components of a lift station:

  • Wet well – This is a single tank, located underground, where the wastewater is held until it is ready to be pumped (or lifted) to the higher elevation piping system.
  • Submersible pump – A submersible pump is lowered to the bottom of the wet well. Its job is to pump the wastewater out of the wet well when required.
  • Submersible pressure transducer – A submersible pressure transducer is also lowered to the bottom of the wet well and connected to a control system at the top of the well. Its job is to continuously monitor the level of the wastewater in the well. Users are able to pre-set, via the control system, the max allowable level in the well before automatically turning the pump on and emptying. The pressure transducer will continue to monitor during the pumping process and the pump will automatically turn off when the pressure transducer indicates that the level has reached the pre-set low level.

Recommended Product: CS15 Non-Clogging Submersible Pressure Transducer

Core Sensors offers the CS15 Non-Clogging Submersible Pressure Transducer, designed specifically to meet the demands of the wastewater industry.

Features include:

  • IP68 rating
  • Flush diaphragm to prevent solids from clogging the pressure port
  • Heavy duty steel cage to help weight the sensor to the bottom of the well/tank as well as acting as a barrier between the solids and the flush diaphragm
  • 316L SS diaphragm / 304 SS cage, housing and 1/2″ MNPT conduit
  • Pressure ranges from 2 PSI up to 50 PSI

Transportation

Wastewater and treated water are commonly moved from one location to another via a piping system. The pressure in these pipes should be monitored to ensure there are no leaks or other issues within the pipe. Core Sensors offers a wide variety of standard pressure transducers that would work excellent in these applications. Integral snubbers are available to combat water hammer as well as a variety of output signal and electrical connection options to ensure an easy installation in your application.

Recommended Product: CS10 Industrial Pressure Transducer

Core Sensors offers the CS10 Industrial Pressure Transducer, a highly configurable pressure transducer.

Features include:

  • Pressures from vacuum up to 45,000 PSI
  • Optional integral snubber
  • Reverse polarity and EMI protection
  • Semi-custom and custom designs are available

Weir Box Level Measurement

A weir box is used to measure and control the flow of treated water. A submersible pressure transducer can be used to measure the level of the treated water inside the weir box, prior to the weir plate. Understanding the level inside the weir box will aid in calculating the flow.

Recommended Product: CS12 Submersible Pressure Transducer

Core Sensors offers the CS12 Submersible Pressure Transducer, an IP68 rated pressure transducer designed for long term submersion.

Features include:

  • IP68 rating
  • Pressure ranges from 1 PSI up to 100 PSI
  • 1/2″ MNPT conduit connection. This can help keep the submersible stationary inside the weir box.
  • 316L SS diaphragm / 304 SS housing and 1/2″ MNPT conduit
  • Assembled in USA

Treated Water Storage Tank Level Measurement

After the wastewater is treated, it is held in large storage tanks. A submersible pressure transducer can be used to monitor and control the level of water in the storage tanks.

Recommended Product: CS12 Submersible Pressure Transducer

Core Sensors offers the CS12 Submersible Pressure Transducer, an IP68 rated pressure transducer designed for long term submersion.

Features include:

  • IP68 rating
  • Pressure ranges from 1 PSI up to 100 PSI
  • 1/2″ MNPT conduit connection.
  • 316L SS diaphragm / 304 SS housing and 1/2″ MNPT conduit
  • Assembled in USA

We also offer the CS82 Intrinsically Safe Submersible Pressure Transducer if the level application within the wastewater process is considered hazardous.
