We currently are running our digester feed pumps off of the level of the raw sludge blending tank. The current method of receiving the level is a bubble tube system of which the powers to be installed on the inlet side of the circulation chopper pumps causing the water from the bubble tube to be pulled into the pump causing around a 3 to 5 foot error in level. This is a closed cylindrical tank that is vertical. The environment is very caustic with raw sludge, scum from primaries, high strength cheese waste, cheese brine, DAF sludge, salt drippings, aerobic sludge, leachate, and permeate all being mixed together and brought up to 85 degrees so it does not shock the digesters when dumped in. This stuff has eaten a stainless steel capacitance probe before! I need something that can withstand this environment and give me a 4-20mA signal representing a level of 20 feet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
