5. Application Scenarios and Solutions 

Water treatment plant and sewage treatment non-full pipe monitoring system:

1. Open Channel Gravity Sewer Flow: The sewage system is an indispensable part of the urban development 

process.  In  order  to  meet  the  requirements  of  real-time  monitoring,  a  comprehensive  scientific  and 
intelligent comprehensive sewage treatment management system is essential. A new generation of 24QP 
radar  flow  monitoring  system,  the  device  uses  non-contact  measurement,  is  not  subject  to  sewage 
corrosion, greatly reducing maintenance costs. The water level, velocity and flow rate are measured in real 
time and transmitted to the monitoring centre through the RTU.

2. Urban Drainage Network Monitoring Solution: The system consists of a radar flowmeter, a pressure water 

level  gauge  (mainly  for  monitoring  the  water  level  in  the  well  during  the  full-tube  state),  RTU,  wireless 
communication equipment, disposable lithium batteries, and mounting brackets.
