Sludge disposal
Sludge disposal is getting more and more difficult due to statutory regulations. The use of sludge in agricultural applications, as was common in the past, is now only possible to a limited extent. Today, the optimal way to dispose of sludge is by incineration. To guarantee an economical transport as well as effective burning, it is necessary to dry the sludge. Sludge with high moisture content is dried in various processes until it has a residual moisture content of approx. 10 % and then stored in silos or containers. Exact and reliable measurement technology is required for operating the drying systems cost-effectively.
Level detection with VEGAMIP 61
The abrasive sludge is stored in different types of containers, depending on the process. Only a measuring system that is not affected by the mechanical stresses can guarantee a reliable level detection. Non-contact measurement with a microwave barrier represents the ideal solution. The filling of silos and open containers can thus be monitored without direct contact with the medium.
Since the microwave barrier is mounted on the outside of the container, mechanical damage is impossible, even when the transport container is being removed.
