Wastewater treatment in the pharmaceutical industry is a complex and critical process, as pharmaceutical wastewater typically contains high concentrations of organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, high salt content, and possible toxic substances. Measurement instruments play a crucial role throughout this process, as they help to improve treatment efficiency, ensure treatment quality, and guarantee the stable operation of the entire treatment system.
The characteristics of wastewater conditions in the pharmaceutical industry include:
Corrosiveness: The wastewater contains a variety of chemicals that can cause corrosion to the measurement equipment.
Temperature and Humidity: The environment for wastewater treatment is often characterized by high temperatures and high humidity, which can affect the performance of the measurement equipment.
Debris and Flotsam: Wastewater may contain a large amount of solid particles, grease, foam, etc., which may obstruct the measurement sensors or interfere with them.
Liquid Level Fluctuations: During the wastewater treatment process, the liquid level may fluctuate due to factors such as the starting and stopping of pumps and changes in flow rates, which can make accurate measurement difficult.
Viscosity: Some wastewater has a high viscosity, which can affect the movement of mechanical measuring devices such as floats.
Conductivity: The conductivity of wastewater in the pharmaceutical industry’s wastewater treatment can interfere with liquid level measurement equipment based on the principle of electrical conductivity.
It is evident that the working conditions at the wastewater treatment site exhibit complexity and diversity, and are simultaneously affected by various factors such as the environment, signal interference, and liquid level changes. This can lead to measurement inaccuracies in the measuring instruments. Therefore, the selection and application of instruments are very important!
Radar level meters play a crucial role in wastewater treatment systems. By accurately measuring liquid level heights, they provide key data support for the wastewater treatment process, and help optimize energy use and reduce emissions. This ensures the stable operation and efficient management of the entire treatment process, making radar level meters the preferred measurement instrument for wastewater treatment.
The Yigeqi radar level meter maintains stable performance even in continuous operation and harsh environments. Let’s take a detailed look at how the Yigeqi radar level meter assists in the entire wastewater treatment process.
Pretreatment Stage：
In the equalization basin, the Yigeqi radar level meter’s non-contact measurement and strong adaptability, based on its self-developed CMOS millimeter-wave radio frequency chip, achieve a more compact radio frequency architecture, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and smaller blind zone. It accurately and stably monitors the wastewater level under various complex and harsh environmental conditions, controls the influent flow rate, and ensures that the equalization basin can effectively adjust the water quality and quantity, preparing for subsequent treatment.
Biological Treatment Stage：
In aerobic or anaerobic bioreactors, the Yigeqi radar level meter is used to monitor the liquid level within the reactor. With a minimum 3° antenna beam angle to reduce interference, it can be quickly deployed in existing wastewater treatment systems. This ensures that the bioreactor operates at the optimal liquid level, maintaining the growth environment for microorganisms.
Advanced Treatment Stage：
In the advanced treatment stage, where the water quality requirements are higher, the control of process parameters becomes more stringent. The Yigeqi radar level meter, with a 5GHz operating bandwidth, offers higher measurement resolution and accuracy. In activated carbon adsorption tanks or membrane treatment systems, it monitors the liquid level to control the start and stop of feed pumps, ensuring the normal operation of the system.
Disinfection Stage：
In the disinfection tank, the precise level control provided by the radar level meter helps to regulate the amount of disinfectant added, ensuring the uniformity and effectiveness of the disinfection process.
Effluent Discharge Stage：
In the effluent tank, the radar level meter monitors the effluent level, supports remote commissioning and remote upgrades, ensuring that the treated water can be discharged stably according to the designed flow rate while greatly improving work efficiency.
The Chinese national brand Yigeqi has solved the long-standing measurement challenges of wastewater in the pharmaceutical industry, contributing its own Yigeqi strength! Whether during the trial period or the usage period, the Yigeqi radar level meter operates stably, requiring minimal maintenance effort.
