Water & Wastewater Treatment

Water and wastewater treatment plants operate sensors in permanently wet environments with exposure to chlorine, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, and other corrosive process chemicals. Sensors must carry high ingress ratings, resist chemicals, and function reliably through the biological variation in the process stream.

Applications & Use Cases

EGE Fill Level Sensors EGE Fill Level Sensors
01
Wet well level monitoring at pump stations

EGE ultrasonic level sensors provide non-contact wet well level measurement at municipal lift stations, controlling pump start/stop sequencing without submerged float switches.

EGE Flow Sensors EGE Flow Sensors
02
Grit channel flow velocity measurement

EGE flow sensors measure flow velocity in grit removal channels at wastewater treatment works, optimising grit chamber residence time and capture efficiency.

EGE Pressure Sensors EGE Pressure Sensors
03
Screen and filter differential pressure monitoring

EGE pressure sensors measure differential pressure across drum screens, band screens, and sand filters, triggering auto-cleaning cycles when differential pressure exceeds set thresholds.

EGE Flow Sensors EGE Flow Sensors
04
Chemical dosing pump flow confirmation

EGE flow sensors verify that chemical dosing pumps are delivering the correct flow of coagulant, disinfectant, and pH-adjustment chemicals, preventing under-treatment incidents.

EGE Fill Level Sensors EGE Fill Level Sensors
05
Sludge thickener level and density monitoring

EGE capacitive fill level sensors detect sludge surface levels in gravity thickeners, controlling sludge withdrawal rates to maintain target blanket depths.

EGE Temperature Sensors EGE Temperature Sensors
06
Pump station motor temperature monitoring

EGE temperature sensors monitor submersible pump motor winding temperatures via cable-connected probes, providing early warning of motor overloading before insulation damage occurs.

EGE Flow Sensors EGE Flow Sensors
07
UV disinfection reactor level and flow

EGE flow and level sensors provide the flow and water level data required for UV dose calculation in UV disinfection reactors at final effluent treatment stages.
