High accuracy flow measurement is an absolute requirement in this cleaning process.
For the volume flow measurement of the return activated sludge, the association Saalfeld-Rudolstadt relied on the installed, approx. 20-year-old electromagnetic flowmeter.
However,this was defective and had to be replaced, which caused several challenges, such as a complicate installation situation and that the measuring point is located at a room height of 3 meters directly below the ceiling from the basement to the ground floor.

To replace the defective electromagnetic flowmeter, a Siemens SITRANS FS230 clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter was installed during operation in only a few minutes.
The SITRANS FS230 has a Digital Sensor Link which digitizes the signal at the earliest stage of measurement for a strong signal-to-noise ratio and high-precision measurement.
Using the integrated commissioning wizard, the installati-on of the SITRANS FS230 goes quickly and easily
The difficult installation situation in the case of the association was also solved by using anomaly compensation in conjunction with the high-precision sensors
A test system was made available to the association for four weeks in order to give the ustomer the necessary security when using the clamp-on technology under the prevailing conditions

"Replacing the defective flowmeter would have exceeded the purchase price of a SITRANS FS230 several times. The realization with the SITRANS FS230 clamp-on hence saved the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt association the costs for the acquisition of a much more expensive electromagnetic flowmeter."

Mr. Opitz, Master electrician, ZWA Saalfeld-Rudolstatd

No need to remove the existing and defective electromagnetic flowmeter which meant a saving of time and money.
Thanks to the installation, commissioning and customer training by the experienced Siemens service technician, the optimal solution for this measurement point was achieved with the Siemens SITRANS FS230 clamp-on flowmeter
