In the daily operation of sewage treatment plants, flow monitoring is a crucial link. As a widely used flow measurement instrument, the electromagnetic flow meter plays an indispensable role in the field of sewage treatment.
1. Measurement Principle of Electromagnetic flow meter
The electromagnetic flow meter quantitatively measures the volume flow of conductive liquids by magnetic field induction, and its measurement principle is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. In an electromagnetic flow meter, the conductive medium inside the measuring tube is equivalent to the conductive metal rod in Faraday's test, and the two electromagnetic coils at the upper and lower ends generate a constant magnetic field. When a conductive medium flows through, an induced electromotive force will be generated. The magnitude of the induced electromotive force is directly proportional to the effective length of the conductor in the magnetic field and the speed at which the conductor moves perpendicularly to the magnetic field.
2. Application Scenarios of Electromagnetic flow meters in Sewage Treatment Plants
（1）Influent flow monitoring: The primary task of a sewage treatment plant is to monitor the influent flow to ensure the matching of treatment capacity. Electromagnetic flow meters can measure the influent flow in real time and accurately, providing important operational data for sewage treatment plants.
（2）Process control: During the sewage treatment process, the flow rate of each treatment unit needs to be precisely controlled to ensure the treatment effect. Electromagnetic flow meters can provide precise flow data and support the automation and intelligence of process control.
（3）Discharge monitoring: The treated sewage needs to undergo flow monitoring before being discharged to ensure compliance with environmental protection standards. Electromagnetic flow meters can accurately measure the discharge flow, providing strong support for environmental protection supervision.
3. Precautions for Using Electromagnetic flow meters
（1）Installation location selection: The installation location of the electromagnetic flow meter should be chosen as straight pipe sections as much as possible, and avoid installation in places with significant fluid disturbance such as elbows and valves to ensure measurement accuracy.
（2）Maintenance and Care: Regular maintenance and care should be carried out on the electromagnetic flow meter, including cleaning impurities inside the measuring tube and checking the integrity of the electrodes and coils, etc., to extend its service life and ensure measurement accuracy.
In conclusion, electromagnetic flow meters have a wide range of applications in sewage treatment plants, from influent flow monitoring to process control and discharge monitoring, all of which cannot do without the support of electromagnetic flow meters. Therefore, when choosing and using electromagnetic flow meters, sewage treatment plants should fully consider their measurement principles, applicable scenarios, and precautions during use to ensure the accuracy and reliability of flow monitoring.
