Advanced flow meter to measure the flow of liquids in partially filled pipes

Objective

All over Europe today there is a great need to accurately measure the amount of sewage water flowing through a pipe to retain tight control of the treatment process and thus ensure an efficient and environmentally safe operation. However, the current methods experience significant problems when trying to measure either open channel flow or the flow in partially filled closed pipes. In this context it is found that there is a great need for a simple, inexpensive and accurate flow measuring system that remains reliable in partially filled and open flow systems. The project aims to develop a flow meter based on high frequency radar technology using a partnership of organizations that combines proven research ability with market driven demands and consumer expertise. This partnership will give the project an excellent chance of success and will eventually lead to the exploitation of the proposed radar and signal processing technologies as well as widespread use of the flow meter.
