WSI Indonesia helps I Ngurah Rai International Airport gain accurate reservoir level measurement with IMP

Printer-Friendly Version

Water level management and usage is a significant part of an airport's daily life - from stormwater management and runoff monitoring to usage for HVAC operations and of course facilities in the airport, such as toilets and washrooms. 

Most airports have wastewater facilities on-site, holding reservoirs for stormwater runoff, etc. As is the case with the I Ngurah Rai International Aiport located in Bali. The I Ngurah Rai is the second busiest airport in Indonesia and has seen significant development since the 2000s. 

The Application

The maintenance team from the I Ngurah Rai airport was having trouble gaining accurate level measurements for their water reservoirs located at the airport. So they reached out to WSI Indonesia, a local Pulsar Measurement distributor. 

Upon first investigation of the application, it was noted that the airport already had one of Pulsar Measurement's IMP 3 units installed, but it was struggling to gain an accurate reading. This was giving the airport some problems in so much as it was difficult to manage the pump operation for the reservoir and they were experiencing some overflow issues. 

After some digging around, it was discovered that the reservoir was 6 m deep, which was an inappropriate depth for the IMP 3. WSI decided to do a straight swap from the IMP 3 to the IMP 6, which proved to cope with the measurement depth much better with its measurement range of 6 m and went on to provide the accurate reservoir level readings the airport was looking for.
