Case Studies

We hope that the case studies featured here will give you an insight into how other people have used Pulsar equipment to develop solutions to their particular applications. Please click on the titles to download a printable PDF file of each article.

Deep Well Measurement
Pulsar's superior echo processing was proven once again in this difficult very deep Welsh wet well application featuring a 23m "shot" that needed to follow the level between the heads of two submersible pumps.

Block Chute Detection
Blocked chutes are a huge problem, especially on large sites, where a great deal of damage can be caused quickly if heavy material blocks up in a conveyor. Read how Pulsar's blackbox units are being used to great effect to protect against this type of situation.

Level Measurement Problems crushed
Pulsar non-contacting ultrasonic level measurement equipment copes even with the harshest and noisiest conditions, as this case study looking at stone crusher level measurement proves.

Deep and Dirty - Derby Sewage Treament Works Inlet tank
Derby STW had a significant problem with float switches "ragging-up" in this very large inlet works. Other ultrasonic equipment failed and the customer did not believe an ultrasonic solution could work.....until Pulsar became involved.

Lorry unload system
Lorry drivers couldn't see whether there was room to dump their load of clay without getting down from the cab and having a look. A traffic light was clearly required. Unfortunately the only way of measuring the level was directly through a heavy iron grid. Not possible, surely?

Dover Docks
Dover is the UK's premier port. Pulsar have helped them with a wide range of tank volume and pump control applications.

Chemical Tank volume measurement
In this application, Pulsar equipment replaced other ultrasonic gear which was not coping with the multiple echoes coming from a dome top tank.

Pump Protection - unattended operation in sludge pumping
Pulsar's 500 series non-invasive flow switches are used to great effect in this application, protecting sludge pumps and allowing unattended operation.

Excavator arm height measurement avoids shocking consequences!
Pulsar's blackbox, fitted to a mobile hydraulic excavator, helps the driver to avoid overhead power lines when clearing weeds around watercourses.
