WHY IS WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SO IMPORTANT?
Watch the speech (in polish) by Piotr Tuz PhD Eng. on this topic:
Fragment of a lecture at the Water and Sewage Industry Conference CHALLENGES and SOLUTIONS 2024
If wastewater is more expensive, why do we in the industry pay so little attention to its measurement?
We can help you recover the huge amounts of money spent on electricity through effective implementation of measurements in the sewage system. In 2025 we will start another sales season of the QPLT-1000 flow meter.
QPLT-1000 is an electromagnetic flowmeter
for partially filled pipelines
with a wide range of applications in water and sewage management, agriculture and industry.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?
- enables accounting for the amount of sewage actually produced
- perfect for gravity systems
- combines the features of an electromagnetic flowmeter and a level probe
- additionally measures the current level of filling in the pipe
- competitive price in relation to other devices of this type available on the market
Produced in two versions, depending on the diameter size:
DN 80 – 125 |
DN 150 – DN 3000 |

SELECTED IMPLEMENTATIONS
Our devices are already used in many companies in Poland, in various applications.
We present some of them.
MUNICIPAL SERVICES COMPANY IN WAŁBRZYCH, POLAND
Implementation: Assembly with installation of a measuring well and start-up of a DN 200 flow meter
We confirm that the works were performed with due diligence and within the contractual deadline.
Bogdan Stanek – President of the Management Board
RECREATION CENTER IN BIAŁY BóR, poland
Implementation: Project of reconstruction of the sanitary sewage system including the elimination of non-draining tanks and the installation of a DN 200 flow meter
OPOLE WATERWORKS, POLAND
Implementation: Measurement of the overflow channel at the sewage treatment plant, flow meter DN 1000
kołobrzeg waterworks, poland
Implementation: Sewage measurement at the sewage pumping station, flow meter DN 200
The device meets our expectations and allows us to precisely measure sewage delivered to our company and ensures control over the proper operation of the sewage system.
Rafał Piątkowski – President of the Management Board
dąbrowa białostocka waterworks, poland
Implementation: Installation and commissioning of a DN 200 flow meter in the biological sewage treatment plant in Różanystok
The quality of the device is very good and its precise operation
allows us to measure the discharged sewage with great accuracy
Łukasz Głażewski – Head of the Water and Sewage Plant
PROCESSING PLANT IN NOWY TARG, poland
Implementation: Installation of a DN 200 flow meter on the sanitary sewage system
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER – WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR PARTICULARLY?
QPLT-1000 flowmeter operating conditions in a food industry plant
Implementation: Installation of a QPLT-1000 flowmeter for measuring sewage in partial channels in a gravity sewage system in a processing plant
Challenge: The installed flowmeter began to indicate a filling height of 99%, while after opening the inspection it was found to be about 50% full.
The reason lies in the type of sewage – in the case of sewage in the food industry – e.g. meat plants, dairies, breweries – when sewage is discharged that does not meet the requirements, it may result in the level probe being covered, e.g. with fat, whey, etc. As a result, this causes the flow indications to be overstated.
Solution: In this situation, we rinsed the inside of the height sensor in the flowmeter. The flowmeter indicated a 50% filling of the pipe – variably from 48% to 52%. We also checked the flow on the reference flowmeter – the readings were similar, which confirmed that the problem had been solved.
We also connected a flow recorder for ongoing monitoring.
We recommend constant monitoring of the sewage flow through monitoring:

Overstatement of flow readings on the flow meter simultaneously informs the water company about the need to test the quality of sewage at the outlet.
measuring chamber designs using qplt-1000
If you are planning to build a new measuring chamber for the QPLT-1000 flowmeter installation, we can support you with designs for various diameters and options (with or without bypass).
