Overview
The environment and recycling industry is central to managing waste streams, recovering valuable materials, and protecting natural resources. Processing facilities handle diverse and often unpredictable input materials ranging from municipal waste to industrial byproducts. Reliable instrumentation is essential for monitoring sorting processes, controlling material recovery operations, and ensuring emissions compliance. Level measurement in storage bunkers, processing vessels, and output silos must handle challenging conditions including dust, moisture, and highly variable material properties. As circular economy principles gain momentum, recycling operations require increasingly precise process control to maximize recovery rates and minimize environmental impact.

Use Cases
Explore specific scenarios and challenges in this industry
Dewatering column
Environment and Recycling
The waste oil is heated to a temperature of 105 °C in the lower section of the column. Here, the water evaporates and is pumped away after it condenses. After reaching the appropriate temperature, the...
Dewatering wells in open cast mining
Environment and Recycling
In open cast mining, the groundwater levels must be continuously reduced to protect the mining area from flooding and the excavation walls from instability due to water pressure. A large number of dew...
Flue gas scrubber
Environment and Recycling
Flue gas from waste incineration must be cleaned before it is released into the environment. Flue gas scrubbers do this by removing acidic gas components such as sulphur dioxide. Lime water is used as...
Gauge station
Environment and Recycling
Accurate monitoring of the river level is an important prerequisite to be able to react quickly and correctly in the event of a flood. Visual, on-site level monitoring requires great effort, particula...
Incinerator
Environment and Recycling
To ensure that the waste burns completely, temperatures up to 1000 °C must be maintained. For this purpose, large amounts of primary air from below and secondary air from above are blown in. Air quant...
Incinerator feed chute
Environment and Recycling
After the crane system lifts the waste from the waste bunker and drops it to the feed chute, in the lower part of the chute, a hydraulic piston pushes the waste onto the combustion grate. It is import...
