Short Range Level Measurement

The Ranger S™ Ultrasonic Level Transmitter Or Switch

Great for short range continuous level measurement or level switching

The Ranger S™ Short Range Ultrasonic Level Transmitter or Level Switch is extremely durable and accurate. The construction is tough Valox plastic, completely sealed for corrosive resistance. The Ranger S™ can be mounted in rugged process environments such as wet wells, effluent flow channels, chemical day tanks, and more. The ultrahigh frequency of the Ranger S™ (over 150 kHz) and narrow beam angle make it ideal for any liquid application. The Ranger S™ Transmitter features adjustable 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC three-wire output is easy to setup with the use of a potentiometer and LED light. The Ranger S™ Switch features two adjustable solid state relays (N.O. N.C.) are easy to setup with the use of a potentiometer and LED light. No external software or hand-held setup device is required.

Combined Sewer Overflow and Sanitary Sewer Overflow Monitoring

CSO and SSO Monitoring

Accurate level measurement, control, and reporting are critical to combined sewer overflow (CSO) and sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) monitoring. The FLO-CORP AccuTank Level Monitoring System combines the durability and precision of our level transmitters with feature-rich remote monitoring software and web interfaces. Specific strengths of the system include flood control, EPA reporting, duplex and triplex pump control, data logging, e-mail alerts, and much more. Offered in both non-contacting (ultrasonic) and contacting (guided-wave radar) varieties, the system has very few installation restrictions and performs well even in harsh sewer conditions.

The AccuTank Level Monitoring System provides the key factor that has been missing from the market: a cost effective level system with standard Remote I/O bringing the features of SCADA and HMI software within reach for small to medium sized municipalities. From the design of our monitors and relay expansion module, to the capability of our level transmitters, to the functionality of our software and web interface, we have put together a level system that emphasizes innovation in CSO and SSO monitoring. Please contact us to learn how we can put together an affordable solution for your CSO and SSO monitoring and control needs.

Measuring and Recycling Cooking Oil

FLO-CORP provides operational innovation and "green" advantages through the Smart Oil Management System.

FLO-CORP's Smart Oil Management System featuring the Tracer 1000 Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter and DigaCom Universal Process Display.

FLO-CORP was contacted by one of the service providers of Walmart to provide every Walmart store in the United States with the Smart Oil Management System. The reason this system is so unique and extremely popular with the food service industry is because of its advanced capabilities. Corporate Walmart now has the capability to keep track of the entire inventory of used cooking oil in every store across the country. The system also alerts the store managers of the exact amount of used cooking oil that will be collected by the service company for recycling use. More advanced features of the system include overflow prevention, theft prevention, and the ability to automatically dispatch the service providers when the oil is ready for pick up.

"The rendering process collects inedible byproducts from the food processing chain and recycles it into fat, protein, and hide products that can be reused."

The Smart Oil Management System is not only a great operational innovation, but it is a product that has many “green” advantages as well. The rendering process collects inedible byproducts from the food processing chain and recycles it into fat, protein and hide products that can be reused.

Approximately 70% of the used cooking oil is filtered and reused as oil.  The other 30% is recycled using other methods creating an eco-friendly, 100% reuse system.

The Smart Oil Management System is also in use in Costco, Burger King, Wendy's, & McDonald's stores.

FLO-CORP is thrilled to provide the Smart Oil Management System, helping keep our planet clean!

Please contact us for more information or to get a quote on the Smart Oil Management System and other products.

Level Transmitter Installed In Abu Dhabi

FLO-CORP's Tracer 1000 Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter is installed throughout the world in process applications.

This photo is from Abu Dhabi where the Tracer 1000 was supplied by our sales rep, AWTIE (Al Waleed Technical Instruments) for biodiesel level measurement.

About Level Transmitters:

Our level transmitters have been selected to cover a full range of processes, whether simple or complex.  They provide accuracy for both continuous and point level measurement in both contacting and non-contacting models.  Plus, sticky and highly corrosive liquids are no problem.  We put a lot of thought into our transmitters and rebuilt our lineup to focus on quality and accuracy, while still working to come in at a very competitive price point.

Your Water And Wastewater Needs Are Covered

Our experienced sales and support team frequently works with water and wastewater professionals to meet the needs of the industry.

One system that we are very excited about is the AccuTank™ Level Monitoring System.  When FLO-CORP set out to design a level monitoring system, we had one specific goal in mind:  we wanted to create a low cost system with all the functions of a traditional system plus include premium features like Remote I/O, flexible forms of communications, the highest degree of level sensing technology and pack it with free remote monitoring, alarming and recording software.  The United States is filled with small to medium sized Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) with budgets that do not allow for installing expensive SCADA and HMI software systems.  FLO-CORP created a system that allows small-budget plants to get all the same features at an affordable price.  This is accomplished by developing a cutting-edge system that uses the best of technology, packaged in affordable level monitors, level transmitters, and software.

Please contact us and we would be happy to discuss your application.

Small to Medium Sized Wastewater Treatment Plants See Large Benefits in Low Cost Flow Systems

 

The Tracer 1000 Level Transmitter and DigaCom 2000 Universal Process Display provide accurate flow measurement and recording in weirs and flumes.  FLO-CORP has created a system with all the functions of advanced measurement and reporting equipment at a price point that small municipalities can afford.

The Tracer 1000 level transmitter is used in numerous wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) across the nation to measure flow through weirs and flumes.  Coupled with the DigaCom 2000 universal process display, the system creates accurate and reliable measurement for EPA reporting and other flow tracking.  Furthermore, when the DigaCom 2000 is monitored by our free DigaLink software, the WWTP gains remote monitoring, alarming, and other features at no additional cost.

The installs pictured above were completed this summer and join a large number of WWTP trusting their reporting to FLO-CORP's high quality equipment.

When FLO-CORP set out to design systems for WWTP, we had one specific goal in mind:  we wanted to create a low cost system with all the functions of traditional systems plus include premium features like Remote I/O, flexible forms of communications, the highest degree of sensing technology and pack it with free remote monitoring, alarming and recording software.  Thanks to the achievement of this goal, we offer systems to the market that give WWTP in small municipalities the same options that were previously only in reach for big budget municipalities.

FLO-CORP also offers ultrasonic level transmitters and advanced universal process displays when the application calls for it.
