The Sludge Finder 2 is a product from Pulsar, UK, providing reliable and continuous measurement of sludge level.

This two-part system is specifically designed for measuring sludge level using ultrasonic technology through a liquid medium.

The sludge finder utilizes proven signal processing algorithms to identify the sludge interface level, utilizing advanced technology unique to this unit.

Why Measure Sludge Level?

Control over sludge level is a vital aspect of any process involving primary settling tanks, secondary settling tanks, and tertiary settling tanks with fixed or moving bridges, clarifiers, gravity thickeners, or sequential batch reactor systems.

Measuring sludge level works by measuring the distance between the blanket sludge level and the water surface.

When the sludge reaches the required density, the pump control activates alongside pumps, transferring the sludge into the pump hopper to prepare for the next treatment phase.

Effective sludge level measurement can aid industrial treatment plants in generating their own power.

Ensure pumps are utilized efficiently.

Ensure excess sludge is not pumped into local water sources.

Adherence to health, safety, and environmental regulations, ultimately ensuring that sludge handling processes such as thickening and dewatering equipment all operate at maximum efficiency with the correct sludge concentration.
