Sewer & Wastewater Flow Meters for Municipal Water Treatment
Reliable Flow Measurement Solutions for Water Treatment, Wastewater, Sewer, and Municipal Utility Applications
Municipal water and wastewater systems rely on accurate flow measurement at many points throughout the treatment and distribution process. From raw water intake and finished water distribution to wastewater, sludge, and sewer flow, each application can bring different pipe sizes, flow conditions, accuracy requirements, and maintenance concerns.
Primary Flow Signal works with municipalities, engineers, and water treatment facilities to provide flow meters built for the application. Our meters are commonly used in systems where reliability, long service life, low pressure loss, and stable measurement are critical to day-to-day operation.
With custom meter design, calibration support, and practical engineering guidance, PFS helps municipal teams select flow measurement solutions that can perform in real operating conditions, not just ideal ones.
PFS SOLUTIONS
Sewer & Wastewater Flow Meter Types for Demanding Municipal Applications
Venturi Flow Meters
Accurate measurement with low pressure loss.
Supports accurate, efficient measurement for high-volume flows in municipal water systems.
Wedge Flow Meters
Reliable measurement for difficult, viscous flows.
Built for dirty, viscous, solids-bearing, and slurry applications, including raw sewer flow and RAS/WAS lines.
Specialty Meters & Custom Solutions
Custom solutions for unique or recurring metering issues.
Engineered for more complicated applications where standard solutions don’t do the job.
WHY PFS
Solving Sewage & Wastewater Flow Measurement Problems Since 1983
Municipal water and wastewater systems need flow meters that perform reliably in real operating conditions, not just ideal environments.
PFS helps utilities specify, design, and support flow measurement solutions for large pipe sizes, changing flow rates, solids-bearing media, low pressure loss requirements, and long-term service needs.
Reliable Measurement in Real-World Conditions
Municipal systems often involve changing flow rates, large pipe sizes, solids-bearing media, aging infrastructure, and demanding operating schedules. PFS helps specify flow measurement solutions designed around the actual application, not just ideal lab conditions.
Low Pressure Loss for Efficient System Operation
For high-volume water and wastewater systems, pressure loss can affect pumping energy, operating cost, and long-term system efficiency. PFS Venturi flow meters are designed for low permanent pressure loss and reliable performance across a wide range of flow conditions.
Options for Dirty, Viscous, and Solids-Bearing Flow
Wastewater and sludge applications can be hard on many flow technologies. PFS wedge-type flow meters are built for contaminated, slurry-type, air-entrained, and particulate-laden fluids.
Engineering Support from Selection Through Service
PFS supports city and municipal projects with hydraulic analysis, calibration, engineering support, technical support, and meter rehabilitation services.
CASE STUDY
Municipal Project Highlight:
Reconfiguring Existing 72-Inch Venturi Meters
Primary Flow Signal reconfigured existing 72” Venturi meters for a large municipality. Read our case study to learn about this project.
SERVICES & SUPPORT
Support for New Installations, Retrofits, and Existing Meter Systems
Municipal flow measurement projects are not always simple replacements. Many facilities must work around existing pipe layouts, buried or cemented meter sections, aging infrastructure, limited shutdown windows, and changing flow conditions.
Meter Rehabilitation
Evaluate, repair, or restore existing flow meters when replacement is not the most practical or cost-effective option.
Laboratory Calibration
Verify meter performance and support confidence in accuracy for new, modified, or rehabilitated flow measurement systems.
Hydraulic Analysis
Review flow conditions, installation constraints, and system requirements to help determine the right meter design and configuration.
Engineering & Technical Support
Work with our engineers to support selection, installation planning, documentation, and troubleshooting.
