trade waste chemical monitoring for IBC STORAGE

Non-Contact
radar level sensors

Many trade waste treatment systems utilise Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) to store caustic and acid dosing chemicals used to neutralise wastewater before discharge. Maintaining adequate chemical levels is essential to ensure the treatment process remains within specification and avoids costly interruptions or non-compliant discharge events.

Our non-contact radar level sensors provide continuous monitoring of chemical levels inside IBCs, allowing operators to remotely view inventory levels and receive low-level alarms before chemicals are depleted.

Unlike traditional contact level measurement technologies, our radar sensors measure through the plastic wall of the IBC without coming into contact with the chemical. The sensor is mounted externally above the container and does not need to be moved or recalibrated when an IBC is replaced.

Non-contact liquid level radar
Flexible installation options

wired radar level monitoring

For sites with existing telemetry, PLC, SCADA or control systems, our wired radar solution integrates directly into your infrastructure. Level data can be transmitted to your preferred monitoring platform where operators can view chemical inventories, generate alarms and trend usage over time.

Ideal for:
•  Existing PLC or SCADA systems
•  Permanent installations
•  Sites with available power and communications infrastructure
•  Integration into plant-wide monitoring systems

battery powered nb-iot smart sensor

For applications where power and wiring are difficult or costly to install, we also offer a fully self-contained battery-powered radar sensor with integrated NB-IoT communications and LwM2M (Lightweight M2M) connectivity.

This standalone solution requires no external power supply and no connection to a telemetry device. Once commissioned, the sensor automatically begins transmitting level data directly to the cloud, providing secure remote monitoring from virtually anywhere.

Key Features:
•  Fully self-powered battery operation
•  Integrated NB-IoT communications
•  LwM2M cloud connectivity
•  No telemetry hardware required
•  Simple installation with no field wiring
•  Remote level monitoring and alarm notifications
•  Rapid deployment for existing and new installations

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selecting and installing a compliant magflow meter for trade waste in Australia.
How does the radar sensor measure the level inside an IBC?
Our non-contact radar sensor is mounted above the IBC and measures the liquid level through the plastic container without contacting the chemical. Radar technology provides reliable and accurate level measurement for acid, caustic and other trade waste treatment chemicals while eliminating issues associated with contact-based sensors.
What happens when an IBC is replaced?
One of the major advantages of this solution is that the sensor remains installed when the IBC is changed out. There is no need to remove, reposition or recalibrate the radar sensor. Simply replace the empty IBC and the system will automatically continue monitoring the level in the new container.
Can I receive alerts before chemicals run out?
Yes. The system can be configured with low-level and critical low-level alarms, allowing operators to receive notifications before chemical inventories become depleted. This helps prevent plant downtime, missed dosing events and non-compliant trade waste discharge.
Can the radar sensor be used on tanks other than IBCs?
Yes. Our non-contact radar level sensors can be used on a wide range of tanks and vessels, including chemical storage tanks, trade waste tanks, process tanks, water tanks and bulk storage containers. Whether you need to monitor a small IBC or a large storage tank, we can provide a suitable radar level monitoring solution.
