Pressure and Temperature Sensors and Switches for Water and Wastewater Treatment Applications

Many of today’s industries depend on clean water sources to fulfill high-volume operations. Wastewater or water treatment sensors and switches are used to control, manage, and monitor liquids in these industrial applications. Although water and wastewater are often used interchangeably, there are a few differences between them. Water treatment refers to any process that improves the quality of water–such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, for an end-to-end application. Water treatments can be applied to a wide range of industry functions, including:

• Cooling
• Dilution
• Filtration
• Processing
• Product transport 
• Raw material clean-up

On the other hand, wastewater treatment involves the purification of water that is contaminated. Because wastewater contains harmful toxins, it cannot be put back into the environment until it’s fully treated. But whether it’s used to separate precious metals in various mining processes or as a tank cleaner in the oil and gas industry, wastewater treatment plays an important role in sanitation management, disease prevention, and in some cases, water temperature cooling. 

At almost every stage in water and wastewater treatment, you can find water temperature sensors and pressure switches playing a key role. CCS devices are specifically designed to meet the application challenges of water and wastewater treatment systems, as our water flow sensors and switches provide pump vibration control, handle slurry environments, monitor pressure spikes, and withstand corrosive media. Additionally, our Belleville disc spring technology, tight construction, and durable assembly make it impervious to pump impulses, pressure surges and hammering. The most popular CCS sensors used in water treatment plants are our gage switches, which include 604GZ water flow sensor switches and our 6900GZ series, as well as the 604DZ for filtration systems.
