Ammonia/Nitrate/Nitrite/Phosphorous
Sludge Level Control
Controlling a Desludgeing pump with Timer is not as
good as Sludge Level Blanket Control
Heavy sludge loading can overwhelm the timer
controlled desludging pump allowing the sludge to slip
from top while the blanket level controller maintains the
sludge level within high & low set points.
Sludge loading varies widely from
Day /Night
Weekdays
Summer / winter
