A. Environmental protection Environmental protection: World-wide tendency 2. Regulation for Wastewater Regulation for preventing Water Pollution in Japan (1978) Total amount restriction Design Guidelines for Sewage Treatment Plants in Singapore issued by PUB (2000). ( Code of Practice on Sewerage and Sanitary Works, article 2.3.8) PUB: Public Utilities Board (Sewerage Department) c) Effluent limitations guidelines by EPA in the U.S.A. (2000) EPA: Environmental Protection Agency Restriction of Discharge of pollutants into waters d) Cluster rule (1998) Restriction of discharging pollutants for Pulp & Paper industry Restrict Wastes/pollutant October 2002 MagneW 3000 PLUS Open Channel type 4
B. Monitoring total amount of wastewater Environmental Protection requires restriction of pollutants in wastewater. Two factors to be controlled; 1. Quality of water (water analysis) 2. Total amount of wastewater Regulation Needs to monitor/control total amount of wastewater October 2002 MagneW 3000 PLUS Open Channel type 5
C. Wastewater measurement 1.Most of wastewater flows in open channel. 2.Weir or partial flume with level transmitter is mainly used for open channel flow measurement. October 2002 MagneW 3000 PLUS Open Channel type 6
D. Problems of wastewater flow measurement 1. Parshall flume flowmeter (with ultrasonic level transmitter) (1)Installation cost is expensive. (2)Low accuracy: +/- 2~5% FS Especially when flow rate is low. (3)Choppy wave causes error. (4)Output is not linear. (5)Minimum sensing flow rate:0.72m3/h October 2002 MagneW 3000 PLUS Open Channel type 7
D. Problems of wastewater flow measurement 2. Weir type flowmeter (with ultrasonic level transmitter) (1)Installation cost is not expensive. (2)Low accuracy: +/- 3~5% FS Especially when flow rate is low. (3)Choppy wave causes error. (4)Output is not linear. (5)Minimum sensing level: 5cm October 2002 MagneW 3000 PLUS Open Channel type 8
E. Yamatake solution Magnetic flowmeter for open channel (1)Installation cost is not expensive. (2)Higher accuracy: +/- 1% FS Accurate even though flow rate is low. (3)Choppy wave never causes error. (4)Output is linear. (From 0~100%) (5)Minimum sensing velocity: 0m/s 2Q Gate Detector Dummy October 2002 MagneW 3000 PLUS Open Channel type 9
E. Yamatake solution Magnetic flowmeter for open channel Additional features (1)Easy installation (2)Maintenance Free (3)Accurate large flow rate measurement 2Q Gate Detector Dummy October 2002 MagneW 3000 PLUS Open Channel type 10
