The install date was 10\/29\/2019.<\/p>\n<p>The current level of technology at the Wet-Well was an aging bubbler system with known erratic issues. The purpose of the<br \/>\nWet-Well is to store water after running through the filter beds located above the Wet-Well. The level monitoring<br \/>\nsystem is to provide feedback to maintain a continuous level. As city water demands change, it will directly affect the<br \/>\nwater level in the Wet-Well. This level of information will indicate how many filter beds need to be active to maintain a<br \/>\nconstant level in the Wet-Well.<\/p>\n<p>The data provided by the city for this evaluation included their bubbler level sensor, a TruSense S330 laser level sensor,<br \/>\nand when filter pumps 5 and 6 are on or off. The S330 is installed between the two filter discharge outlets (see photo 1<br \/>\non the next page). When the pumps are on, it will cause surface conditions to be turbulent and when they are off it will<br \/>\ncause surface conditions to be calm.<\/p>\n<p>The S330 was mounted in an access manway (see Photo 3) using a simple bracket to span across the opening. Unlike the<br \/>\nbubbler system, the S330 laser sensor is a non-contact sensor, meaning it can be placed at a point easily accessed for<br \/>\ninstallation, inspection, and maintenance.<\/p>\n<h3>Site Setup<\/h3>\n<p>Photo 1 shows the manway access point where the sensor is mounted. It is approximately halfway between filter bed 5<br \/>\nand 6 discharge pipes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20063\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20063\" class=\"wp-image-20063 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laser-Tech-TruSense-S330-Beta-Site-Wet-Well-Evaluation-Picture-01-960x719.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laser-Tech-TruSense-S330-Beta-Site-Wet-Well-Evaluation-Picture-01-960x719.jpg 960w, https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laser-Tech-TruSense-S330-Beta-Site-Wet-Well-Evaluation-Picture-01-1920x1438.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laser-Tech-TruSense-S330-Beta-Site-Wet-Well-Evaluation-Picture-01-480x359.jpg 480w, https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laser-Tech-TruSense-S330-Beta-Site-Wet-Well-Evaluation-Picture-01-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laser-Tech-TruSense-S330-Beta-Site-Wet-Well-Evaluation-Picture-01-1536x1150.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laser-Tech-TruSense-S330-Beta-Site-Wet-Well-Evaluation-Picture-01.jpg 1942w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20063\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 1<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Measurements were made to fabricate a bracket to suspend the S330 in the center of a manway access point<br \/>\n(Illustration 1).

During this time, the S330 required no maintenance or adjustment. The city\u2019s aging sensor system had times when the<br \/>\nsensor was not communicating with the SCADA system.<\/p>\n<p>This beta test documents how the S330 can integrate into an existing level control system with minimal cost. The ease of<br \/>\ninstallation required no downtime and had minimal impact to the existing vessel. This allows a retrofit to be done at very<br \/>\nlittle cost compared to troubleshooting and repairing the existing bubbler system. Another consideration is that you can<br \/>\nadd additional S330s to provide redundancy for autonomous control systems at very low cost.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, the S330 performs reliably within its operational specification in a clear water Wet-Well application.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/yb979.infusionsoft.app\/app\/form\/51b4ee73bdf08714aa698ad54cbe8935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Receive the Full White Paper as a PDF<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By J.
