Consultation on automation renovation plans for saltworks

Thread Content

I currently have a project involving data collection at a salt evaporation plant; I’m having trouble finding the right equipment for measuring seawater concentration. Does anyone in this industry have any recommendations? First, for seawater concentration measurement, salt content is primarily measured, with sodium chloride being the main component; however, a large number of other impurities are present and cannot be eliminated. Secondly, there is the need for on-site water level measurement; the water levels in the on-site tanks and diversion channels also need to be measured. Since the bottom of these channels is not hardened, the static pressure may be affected by silt accumulation. For non-contact measurement, some kind of support structure is required. Are there any suitable products available, similar to the traditional vertical rulers used in water measurement, that allow for on-site readings as well as transmission of data over distance? At present, I can’t decide between these two devices; I would appreciate professional advice from experts. Thank you!

For things like concentration and density levels, come to Brother Pig. . . . . .

This poster is going a bit too far; even if you place a ruler in water, don’t you still need to secure it? It’s not fixed; doesn’t it fall over when the wind blows? It should be quite simple to create a support in a contactless manner – just weld an extended support using angle steel. If that doesn’t work, has the original poster tried an immersion-type level gauge? As for the concentration meter, it really can’t help

Take a look at this post of mine – there’s surely one that suits you http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1768527-1-1.html The densitometer in our village also supports simultaneous measurement of density and liquid level~~~

Hey, isn’t an immersed type just a static pressure type? The bottom and sides of the channel used for guiding water on site are made of soil; there are no concrete structures. If supports are to be installed, a foundation must also be built manually. . .

Bro Pig, just recommend one to me. Also, do you have a hydrometer? The owner said that conversion using specific gravity is less difficult.

Well, if nothing is done and reliance is placed on auxiliary instruments to carry out the work, that’s going to be difficult. I can’t think of any instrument that can take measurements without being mounted or secured; the accurate measurement of any instrument relies on certain preparatory steps

There’s one more thing; I’m not being picky, OP. To be straightforward, the immersion type belongs to the category of static pressure systems, but that doesn’t mean that static pressure systems only exist in the immersion form

I’m not familiar with concentration measurement; for level measurement, a non-contact method is the most ideal, though a support still needs to be installed. Since there are no concrete structures, could we consider building heavy concrete pilings on land, placing corrosion-resistant steel pipes or PVC pipes on top of those pilings, constructing supports on these pipes, and then putting the pilings into the water?
