QED PLR liquid level reader for gas wells

Thursday, 09 December, 2021 | Supplied by: Thermo Fisher Scientific


QED Environmental Systems, a manufacturer of environmental measurement products, has announced the release of the Precision Level Reader (PLR), which is said to be an accurate, safe and efficient method for determining leachate or condensate levels in gas wells.

With QED’s PLR device, liquid levels are detected within seconds and are recorded with a time, date and location stamp with no need to interrupt the vacuum in the well. Using a permanently installed weight and tube, the PLR engages a micro-compressor and differential sensors to determine a water level reading that is not affected by foam and will not cross-contaminate from well to well.

With no need for a water tape or well seal removal, level readings take a fraction of the time and effort, with no exposure of technicians to dangerous gases or liquids in the process. Levels are taken with the well vacuum intact, meaning no errors occur due to foam in the well or vacuum losses.

The PLR system consists of three components: the Remote Measurement System (RMS), a handheld portable PC and handset software. An IP65 ABS enclosure houses the air pump, battery, pressure sensor and interface circuits in the RMS. The associated rugged handheld unit features integrated Bluetooth, a Windows 10-based operating system, and a minimum of 64 MB RAM and 256 MB Flash memory. Finally, the customised interface application software features a user-friendly digital display with audible and visual alerts. The software offers simple data recording and storage options.
