Level Measurement for Sump Pits in the Mining Industry
Increase productivity and reduce costs with smart water management
Ensure reliable monitoring to prevent overfilling or pump overload
Smarter water management in mining starts with a holistic view of how your operations uses water from sourcing to dewatering to reuse to everything in between. As regulation changes, mines are under more pressure than ever to control their use of natural resources and care for the planet, while ensuring profitability. Use and reuse of water can help mining reduce the impact on the planet.
The level of water in the sumps around a refinery should be reliably monitored to prevent overfilling and subsequently pollution or pump overload. In the past, legacy ultrasonic level sensors were unreliable after wash downs, when foaming chemicals entered the pits. The Rosemount 1208 are superior to ultrasonic technologies, as they are unaffected by foam, condensation or turbulence. Besides, the Rosemount 1208 can be paired to the Rosemount 3490 Controller, which enables mining to comply with regulation by having a continuous access to detailed data to share with authorities.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount 1208 Series provides accurate and reliable level measurement and open channel flow calculations. The radar level transmitter has been designed to solve challenges in water and wastewater, utilities and basic chemical applications. The Rosemount 1208 uses continuous non-contacting radar technology and features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, in a compact PVDF housing with drinking water and food grade approvals. Its encapsulated design also withstands outdoor conditions and is fully submersible over extended periods of time. The Rosemount 1208 Series communicates via Bluetooth® wireless technology, 4-20 mA HART® or IO-link and has a broad range of mounting accessories, making it easily integrate into both new and existing systems.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Compact and robust design to withstand harsh environments, designed for outdoor conditions, submersion and hazardous location installations
- Simple configuration over your tablet/mobile device via Bluetooth® wireless technology
