Compare Sludge Blanket Level Detectors
Get in touch! How can we help you with your water and wastewater sampling needs?
Choose from three sludge blanket level detectors to measure, monitor and control liquid-solids interface levels. Sensors on each sludge depth meter probe adjust to accommodate light flocs or thick blankets. Uniquely suited to meet the needs of diverse municipal and industrial settings — clarifiers, lamella separators, septic tanks, sedimentation basins, ponds, lagoons, and other water, wastewater and process industry applications — these detectors help to maintain your preferred sludge interface level, to maximize water removal and to prevent process upsets. Choose from Automatic fixed installation, handheld Sludge Gun®, or single point Sludge Sleuth™ to meet your unique needs.
Sludge Gun® Portable Sludge Blanket Level Detector
Markland’s handheld sludge blanket level detector simplifies routine monitoring for regulatory compliance. Compact and weatherproof, it is ideal for use from catwalks or boats.
Sludge Sleuth™ Single Point Sludge Blanket Level Detector
Simple and effective single point monitoring and automatic control to maintain your preferred sludge blanket and supernatant interface level.
Automatic Sludge Blanket Level Detector
This is Markland’s most comprehensive sludge blanket level detector, offering automation of desludge pumps at both high and low set-points and providing a LCD readout of measurements, yet versatile enough for use in obstructed or constricted areas.
With all of our Sludge Blanket Level Detectors – Get the Markland Advantage:
Measure and monitor the sludge bed depth
- Markland’s sludge blanket level detectors work in diverse clarification processes and settings: silt or biosolids in primary and secondary sludge, backwash sludge from sand or membrane filters, resin beds in intake water softeners, settled mud levels in tanks, settled fly-ash from scrubbers, and more.
Meet the needs of your unique water and wastewater application
- Our sludge blanket level detectors meet the needs of varied applications: clarifiers, sedimentation basins, lamella separators, DAFs, SBRs, pressurized vessels, lagoons, ponds, and septic tanks.
Detect silt, sludge and biosolids in densities ranging from light flocs to thick blankets
- Beam intensity of the optical sensors adjusts automatically or with a convenient thumbwheel, depending upon the model, to accommodate the needs of each application.
Maintain preferred liquid-solids interface levels
- Markland sludge blanket level detectors help to prevent carryover and process upsets, to maximize water removal, and to avoid unnecessary pumping or dredging — efficiencies which translate into energy and haulage cost savings and improved water for re-use.
