Level Measurement for Tailing Dams in the Mining Industry
Accurate level monitoring reduces risk of dam failure, reduces operational costs and helps to optimize processes
Improve operational efficiency with easy to use instrumentation
Monitoring solutions to improve the safety of tailing dam in mining operations should be considered on replacing the need to manual monitoring. Implementing rigorous controls for safety is critical to mitigating risks. Getting the real time, actionable data delivered to control room – providing alerts when the water level exceeds the limit is necessary to take timely corrective actions. The measurement readings of legacy technologies, such as ultrasonic level transmitters, are affected by changes in temperature and even wind. Avoid measurement unreliability by choosing radar technology which is completely unaffected by changes in environmental conditions.
The Rosemount 1208 Non-contacting Radar can be offered to perform the level and volume flow measurements, regardless of challenging surface and weather conditions. When paired with the Rosemount 3490 Controller, you get a complete solution for water applications that can enhance operational safety, reduce the risk of dam failure, reduce operational cost/disruption, prevent downstream loss of life & ecological disaster as well as increase productivity.

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
