| How can I determine my sludge level? |
|
| Determining when to waste sludge or determination of sludge blanket levels can be easily achieved by taking a “core sample”. |
|
| Depths up to 25 feet can be sampled with a CorePro sampler. (Most other “core sampler” type products are not recommended for use above 20 ft.) To obtain a representative sample, simply keep the sampler in an upright position and allow it to settle to the bottom of your tank. Each section divided into 5 foot sections, with markers at each foot. This makes determining a sludge blanket level much easier. |
|
| Once filled, remove the unit in an upright, hand over hand motion. As a 20-25 ft column of water can be unruly, you may need to secure the sampler, or utilize reinforcements close to the connections for each section. (Small pieces of angle iron or 2" x 4" zip tied near each connect can help.) After reading your blanket level, make sure the valve at the bottom is close to your tank, and release the water sample back to the tank. |
