Accurate, non-contact level measurement is essential across water, wastewater, industrial utilities, and chemical processes—especially when applications involve harsh environments, variable surfaces, or the need for maintenance-free performance. At Daly Middle East, we often see clients struggling with outdated contacting devices, unreliable float systems, or inconsistent readings due to foam, turbulence, or vapors.
To solve these challenges, Daly Middle East recommended the Pulsar Measurement DBR Radar paired with the Ultra 4 Controller, a high-precision radar level solution engineered for difficult applications requiring accuracy, stability, and advanced control.
The Challenge
Many industries in the GCC—municipal wastewater, food processing, utilities, ports, and industrial plants—face issues such as:
- Unreliable mechanical floats or contacting probes
- Foam, turbulence, condensation or dust interfering with measurements
- The requirement for maintenance-free, non-contact solutions
- Need for accurate pump control, level monitoring, or inventory management
- Underground or confined installations where sensor access is difficult
Similar to challenges documented in the Techno Bangla Engineering case study, where electromagnetic flow meters struggled due to particulate contamination, the need for non-contact reliability becomes crucial.
Likewise, at Dover Docks, non-contact ultrasonic level systems replaced problematic mechanical devices to improve pump control and tank inventory.
These global examples reflect the same needs we see in the GCC market.
The Solution: DBR Radar + Ultra 4 Controller
The DBR Radar is designed for non-contacting level measurement using 80 GHz radar technology, delivering exceptional accuracy on liquids, slurries, effluents, or industrial tanks.
When paired with the Ultra 4 Controller, clients gain a fully integrated, intelligent system that delivers:
✔ Superior Accuracy
Radar technology eliminates echo-loss issues from steam, condensation, foam, or splashing.
✔ Zero Maintenance
No moving parts, no contact with the medium—ideal for harsh water, wastewater, or chemical conditions.
✔ Stable Readings in Challenging Environments
Even in deep wells, underground chambers, or tanks with intrusions (chains, ladders, or piping), advanced processing ensures stable, accurate measurement.
✔ Advanced Control
The Ultra 4 adds:
- Pump control
- High/low alarms
- Datalogging
- Volume calculations
- MCERTS-certified accuracy (industry-recognised standard)
Similar to how the Ultra 4 and dB3 transducers improved performance for Techno Bangla Engineering Ltd., the DBR Radar benefits from the Ultra 4’s intelligent diagnostics and DATEM processing logic.
Implementation by Daly Middle East
For this project scenario, the customer required:
- Accurate, non-contact level monitoring in a wastewater chamber
- Reliable control of pumps to prevent overflow
- A solution immune to foam and turbulence
- A controller capable of handling alarm logic and trending
Daly Middle East supplied:
- DBR Radar installed above the chamber/tank
- Ultra 4 Controller configured for
- Pump duty/assist
- High-level alarm
- Low-level dry run protection
- Trend logging for operators
Our technical team supported commissioning, set-point calibration, and operator training.
Results & Customer Benefits
After installation, the customer experienced results similar to the documented success stories from Pulsar Measurement partners worldwide:
✔ Highly Accurate, Noise-Free Level Readings
Radar provided consistent results even with turbulence and variable surfaces.
✔ Improved Pump Efficiency
Optimised pump sequences reduced energy usage and eliminated false starts—echoing the improvements seen at Dover Docks.
✔ Maintenance-Free Operation
No cleaning, no fouling, and no shutdowns required.
✔ Increased Operational Confidence
Operators could trust the system for real-time level and alarm reporting.
✔ Reliable Data Logging
The Ultra 4’s built-in logging helped validate performance and document compliance requirements.
Conclusion
The combination of the DBR Radar and the Ultra 4 Controller provides one of the most reliable non-contact level monitoring solutions for the GCC region. Whether in water treatment, industrial utilities, port operations, chemical process tanks, or municipal wastewater, this setup delivers unmatched accuracy, durability, and control.
