Non-Contacting Ultrasonic Open Channel Flow Measurement at Manchester Airport

摘要

Pulsar Process Measurement (UK) have supplied a non-contacting ultrasonic open channel flow measurement system featuring their DUET transducer array to give excellent measurement accuracy in the airport's critical API hydrocarbon separation unit. Pulsar's FlowCERT system featuring the DUET transducer has achieved Class 1 MCERTs certification.rnSurface water runoff in an area as large as a major airport is considerable, and in certain areas may be mixed with aviation fuel, oil and other contaminants, so it has to be treated in the same way as any other industrial effluent before it can be discharged. That means separation, treatment and measurement of the final effluent flow, which is where Pulsar comes in.rnPulsar supplied a v-notch weir plate along with a DUET transducer array and FlowCERT control unit to measure effluent flow through an open channel.
