Grit trap
Point level detection in a grit trap
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Solids detection under water 
        Measuring point:
    
    Container
        Measuring range up to:
    
    0.5 … 1 m
        Medium:
    
    Sand, wastewater
        Process temperature:
    
    +20 ... + 30 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    +1 … +2 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Abrasion, mechanical influences, caked deposits
Application
Through circulation and aeration of the wastewater, mineral substances such as grit and sand settle to the bottom of the settling basin. Point level detection of settled sand under water prevents equipment malfunction and damage and controls  the cleaning cycle in the grit trap.
