Sewage treatment flow and load survey
In simple terms a flow and load survey at a waste water treatment works is usually a measurement of the volume and strength of effluent entering the treatment process.
In practice a flow and load survey requires temporary instrumentation and sampling equipment to be installed to monitor process variables at key locations within the treatment process.
The needs of each flow and load survey can vary significantly however, and since Flowcheck was formed in 2002 we have been commissioned by Water Utility and industrial organisations to perform flow and load surveys for a wide range of purposes e.g.
- Treatment works failing to meet its consent limits
- Requirement to increase incoming volumes and strengths
- To capture specific events e.g. storm conditions
- To reveal imbalances in flow distributions around the site
- To identify problems with control systems
- To measure head losses within gravity fed systems
- To locate problems in the treatment process
We carry a broad range of survey equipment for measuring process variables.
The most difficult parameter to measure accurately however is flow. Flowcheck specialise in flow measurement.
