Carbon slurry level
Carbon is employed in adsorption processes for the removal of organic, inorganic, and taste and odor control compounds. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Powder Activated Carbon (PAC) are two leading adsorption treatments, the former utilizing a carbon bed and the latter employing a contact basin. Carbon slurry tanks require level monitoring.
Challenge
Handling and safety problems are associated with the fly-away dust and difficult-to-wet characteristics of carbon. As carbon buildup often chokes mechanical level controls, non-contact monitoring technologies are popular. Contact level sensing should use single rod probes to avoid media buildup.

Splitter box level
Wastewater treatment facilities with a large number of primary clarifiers often employ a concrete tank with chambers and gates known as a splitter box, or distribution box, to split the influent flow into multiple streams that are routed into the bank of clarifiers. A similar device may also be used to split mixed liquor flows between secondary clarifiers.
