Water and wastewater management

Level measurement in the stormwater basin

If a stormwater overflow basin cannot hold the inflowing volume of water, part of it is discharged. Due to legal regulations, the containment and discharge events have to be measured and recorded accurately. A level sensor provides the required data for these events

Level measurement in the process water tank

Water for cleaning and rinsing is made available at various points in the sewage treatment plant via pressure pumps. To ensure a constant supply, the level in the process water tank is continuously measured.

Pressure monitoring in the pump room

The pressure in the pipeline is measured directly at the feed pump and displayed in the control system of the facility. Any potential malfunctions are quickly detected.

Level measurement in the sewage lift station

Wastewater and the materials contained in it, are raised to a higher level by a screw pump, which allows them to flow down towards the sewage treatment plant over a natural gradient. Level measurement in the inlet shaft ensures economical operation of the pumps.

River level measurement

Close monitoring of the river level is an important prerequisite for reliable extraction for drinking water production, as well as flood detection and warning.

Level measurement in the flocculant storage tank

Flocculant is an important chemical for wastewater treatment, and is stored in a special tank. Continuous level measurement from the outside, right through the tank roof, ensures a sufficient supply of flocculant.

Pressure monitoring in the drinking water pipeline

To transport the drinking water, pumping stations generate the required water pressure, which is constantly monitored by a pressure transmitter.

Water level measurement for control of the screen rake

The degree of buildup is determined by means of a differential measurement of the water levels in front of and behind the screen, which initiates the cleaning of the screen when necessary.

Reasonable price

Quality pays off: the long-lasting sensors reduce maintenance work as well as operating costs.

Fast delivery

Whether initial delivery or repair: VEGA instruments arrive at your facility within a few days. That reduces stocking costs considerably.  

Simple integration

VEGA sensors can be easily integrated into existing systems. Fast mounting, setup and adjustment make installation easy.

General information about the sensors and their application 

Wireless adjustment

With Bluetooth, VEGA is looking far into the future. But even today, radio technology is making processes more and more flexible. Wireless communication provides better accessibility: In clean rooms, in harsh industrial environments and in hazardous areas. It allows parameterisation, display and diagnostics from a distance of up to 25 metres, saving time and increasing safety. Extremely simple with the VEGA Tools app – on any available smartphone or tablet.

IO-Link

VEGA uses IO-Link to make optimal use of all possibilities. With this manufacturer-independent, standard communication tool, sensors can be installed, parameterised and, if necessary, put back into operation faster and more cost-effectively. IO-Link is a digital interface that can automatically transfer parameters when an instrument is replaced.

myVEGA

With myVEGA as your personal information platform you have access to numerous online functions relating to the VEGA products.

• 2D/3D drawings of configured instruments
• Access to product documentation and order data
• Access codes for VEGA sensors

VEGA Inventory System

Lower inventory levels mean lower costs. VEGA Inventory System makes all important process and forecast information visible and easy to grasp. Measuring instruments installed on containers, tanks or silos automatically inform the user when replenishments are required. In your plant, the user-friendly service software accesses not only current measurement data, but also consumption data from previous operating periods.
