Monitoring Leakage in Landfill Leachate Control Systems

Landfill leachate monitoring requires a flow meter with no moving parts and minimal maintenance such as a Magflow meter | Magnetic Flow Meter

MORE INFORMATION

Landfill leachate is a aggressive liquid, typically carrying debris, which needs to be managed, controlled and removed to prevent groundwater pollution. Such applications require a flow meter with no moving parts and minimal maintenance. A UK landfill site has installed 2“ diameter, PTFE-lined Magflux A magnetic flow meters with remote transmitters on each secondary discharge pipeline and the cumulative volume of leachate is compared with the total flow through the primary leachate collection line, indicating any leakage.

MAGNETIC FLOW METER FEATURES

No moving parts resulting in obstructionless flow measurement
Handles flows with high level of solids
Relatively short straight-run requirements
Rugged, solid, welded-steel body
Signal amplifier inside flow sensor
Pressure up to 250 bar
Various connection types & liner materials: hard rubber, soft rubber, PTFE, special upon request
