Use this sonar transducer in clarifiers and thickeners

| By Chemical Engineering

Orca transducers offer improvements in power, penetration, and calibration-density range due to a new design featuring three to seven sonar crystals. These crystals are mounted on a single head with each array producing a concentrated sonar beam. The transducers offer a realtime output (representing the behavior of a density interface), which can be used as a control input. The Orca sonar can track layers of differing density within a process tank and allows the user to control flocculent dosing, settling time and the density of a bed. — Hawk Measurement, Phoenix, Ariz.
