Water Treatment & Wastewater Process Instrumentation

Water and wastewater treatment systems depend on reliable process measurement to control flow, tank levels, pressure, temperature and water quality.
FUGUI Automation supplies industrial instrumentation for municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, sewage treatment, water recycling, pumping stations and related utility systems.
Instrumentation Applications in Water Treatment
Typical measurement points include:
- Raw water intake
- Pump stations
- Filtration systems
- Sedimentation tanks
- Equalization tanks
- Chemical dosing systems
- Sludge treatment
- Treated-water pipelines
- RO and desalination systems
- Reclaimed-water systems
Flow Measurement
Flow measurement is required throughout water and wastewater plants.
Electromagnetic flow meters are commonly considered for conductive water and wastewater because the measurement principle does not require mechanical moving parts.
Typical applications include:
- Raw water
- Drinking water
- Process water
- Wastewater
- Sludge-related applications
- Chemical dosing
- Reclaimed water
Selection should consider pipe diameter, flow velocity, conductivity, temperature, pressure and the characteristics of suspended solids.
Level Measurement
Level instruments can monitor:
- Raw-water tanks
- Equalization tanks
- Chemical tanks
- Sedimentation basins
- Sludge tanks
- Clear-water tanks
- Storage tanks
Radar and ultrasonic level instruments can provide non-contact measurement where the process conditions are suitable.
For wastewater applications, foam, vapor, turbulence and surface conditions should be considered during selection.
Pressure and Differential Pressure Measurement
Pressure transmitters can monitor pump discharge and pipeline pressure.
Differential pressure transmitters can be applied to:
- Filters
- Membrane systems
- Pressure-loss monitoring
- Pump systems
- Process equipment
Water Quality Measurement
Water treatment processes may require monitoring of:
- pH
- ORP
- Conductivity
- Dissolved oxygen
- Turbidity
- Chlorine
- Temperature
The required parameters depend on the treatment process and water chemistry.
RO and Desalination Instrumentation
Reverse osmosis and desalination systems require measurement of pressure, flow and water quality at different stages.
Typical points include:
- Feed water
- High-pressure pump discharge
- Membrane inlet
- Permeate
- Concentrate
- Pretreatment systems

FAQ
What flow meter is commonly used for wastewater?
For conductive wastewater, electromagnetic flow meters are frequently considered. The final selection should be based on the actual medium, conductivity, solids content, flow range and installation conditions.
Can you supply instruments for large-diameter water pipelines?
Yes. Pipe size and installation configuration should be provided so the appropriate meter configuration can be selected.
Can you quote from a water treatment instrument list?
Yes. Send your instrument list, P&ID or datasheets for technical and commercial review.
