I've used two kinds. Endress and Hauser, and Ohmart Vega. I found the Ohmart Vega's to be much better and easier to set up. They have a new line out called plics. That is what I would suggest.

What's wrong with Enraf?? They're easier to set up.

Nothing wrong that I know of. Client insisted on SAAB. They worked. And besides, SAAB is Rosemount now and Rosemount is popular in Alberta.

Sounds like a good application for a bubbler system to me.

Any specific reasons why you require an expensive radar instrument in this application?

For waste water? (What a waste!! :-)

A cheap ultrasonic (like a Hawk) would do the job just as well and for a lot less hassle and cost.

I guess it all depends on how you define waste water and the sophistication of the end-user. I come from a refinery background where Rosemount dp cells are commonly a stocked warehouse item. Most likely all the instrument tech's could install, configure and commission a simple bubbler system in a day.

Plus I wouldn't have to worry about any area classification problems, or misting, or foaming or temperature problems associated with an ultrasonic
