Future-proof measurement technology for reliable drinking water treatment

Drinking water treatment places extremely high demands on efficiency, safety and sustainability. State-of-the-art measurement technology from VEGA is crucial in fulfilling these demands – it precisely monitors all process steps, from water extraction to treatment to distribution. VEGA sensors for level and pressure measurement, in particular, play a central role here.

High-precision sensors guarantee clean drinking water

Reliable even in the event of flooding or heavy condensation: The VEGAWELL 52 suspended pressure transmitter is ideal for level measurement in deep wells.

To comply with legal requirements and quality standards at all times, parameters such as pressure and level must be continuously monitored. Modern sensor solutions from VEGA make this possible through the use of highly precise, reliable and low-maintenance measuring instruments. The portfolio ranges from compact standard sensors to the PRO series, which was developed specifically for use in water and wastewater applications, such as drinking water treatment.

Robust technology from the water source to the distribution points

Der Hängedruckmessumformer VEGAWELL 52 liefert präzise Messergebnisse über bis zu 1000 Meter.

Reliable measuring results even over long distances: The VEGAWELL 52 suspended pressure transmitter is available with a cable length of up to 1000 m.

Sensors like the suspended pressure transmitter VEGAWELL 52 are deployed in raw water extraction from wells and rivers or in seawater desalination plants. Thanks to the ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell, integrated overvoltage protection and optional temperature measurement, it delivers reliable measurement data even under extreme conditions.

Radar instead of ultrasonics: Level measurement technology reimagined

Die Radarsensoren der Serie VEGAPULS sind speziell für Anwendungen im Bereich Trinkwasser entwickelt.

With a performance spectrum developed specifically for drinking water applications, compact radars are masterfully replacing previous ultrasonic solutions. VEGAPULS series radar sensors operate completely unaffected by soiling and temperature fluctuations.

Highly efficient radar sensors are increasingly becoming the norm in level measurement. Models such as VEGAPULS 10, 20 and 30 impress users with their non-contact 80-GHz technology, precise signal focusing and high resistance to environmental factors. They deliver precise measuring results even in harsh weather (rain, wind or fog) or dirty conditions and can be integrated directly into control systems like VEGAMET – ideal for level monitoring in river bank filtration for drinking water production.

Safe measurement of chemicals

Unlike ultrasonic sensors, compact VEGAPULS C 21 radar sensors measure all the way to the top of chemical tanks, thus utilising the entire tank volume.

Chemical tanks for chlorine or precipitants such as iron sulphate also require reliable level measurement. This is where VEGAPULS 31, with its high chemical resistance and IP68 protection, offers an ideal solution.

Especially practical: The sensors also measure right through plastic or rubber containers, making them ideal for IBC containers, for example. And with VEGAPULS Air sensors, even IoT-based, cloud-enabled solutions are possible – for autonomous and location-independent level measurement and optimised supply chains.
Compact radar sensors from the VEGAPULS C series also play a central role in the mechanical pre-cleaning of water. In wastewater treatment plants, these sensors reliably monitor the water level upstream and downstream of screens that filter out solids, in order to determine their contamination level and initiate cleaning in good time. Their robust and maintenance-free design enables precise, efficient control of the rakes, which prevents downtime and reduces operating costs. VEGA also offers intuitive controllers from the 14x, 34x or 8xx series, which are easy to operate and require no previous programming knowledge.
 

Pressure measurement technology safeguards processes

By quickly detecting leaks, for example, VEGABAR pressure sensors safeguard processes wherever water is pumped between processing facilities and individual devices.

Pressure measuring instruments like the VEGABAR series ensure safety and efficiency in every phase of a process. No matter what the process happens to be – filtration through sand, pumping or monitoring pipelines – sensors like VEGABAR 38, that continuously monitor the pressure conditions in pipe networks, detect leaks at an early stage and thus prevent shutdowns. Level switches like VEGAPOINT 21 provide additional protection by preventing dry run and ensuring system availability.
The pressure transmitter VEGABAR 82 with ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell, in particular, offers double security thanks to its gas-tight “Second Line of Defense”, for example in media containing ozone.
 

Sustainability through intelligent measurement technology

Non-contact level measurement with VEGAPULS C sensors ensures that no unwanted substances enter the water in underground basins where treated water is stored.

Even after treatment, exact measurement remains crucial: for example, for storage in underground basins, where VEGAPULS C sensors with food approvals and Bluetooth functionality enable simple, hygienic level control.

With innovative measurement technology for pressure, level, and switching, VEGA offers smart, robust and cost-effective solutions for all phases of drinking water treatment. The precise recording of process data not only ensures high water quality, but also increases efficiency and sustainability – a decisive contribution to safeguarding our most valuable resource via a water management system fit for the future.
