mmWAVE RADAR from Pulsar – flexibility, choice
and accuracy like no other Pulsar Process Measurement has launched mmWAVE, a compact FMCW RADAR sensor that offers high accuracy, repeatable level measurement and compatibility with Pulsar’s full range of level controllers. That means that Pulsar customers can choose between mmWAVE RADAR and dB ultrasonic measurement without having to make any compromises in terms of functionality - they choose the right control solution and simply pair it with the appropriate measurement technology for the application.
Pulsar Process Measurement is a world leader in non-contacting level measurement with tens of thousands of installations worldwide. The success of the business has been built on reliable, repeatable measurement systems that have made difficult or seemingly impossible measurements such as deep, cluttered sewage wet wells or dusty grain silos a reality.
RADAR and non-contacting ultrasonic measurement are complementary non-contacting technologies – measuring level by signal analysis but excelling in different situations. RADAR is preferred where there is variation in temperature or changes in gas composition, and extremes of fog, haze, mist or rain, so users can now introduce Pulsar’s sophisticated control functionality into new applications.
mmWAVE RADAR is a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) transducer with a 16m range and accuracy of ±2mm. FMCW RADAR offers significant advantages over pulsed RADAR systems - higher resolution, better signal to noise ratio and better target discrimination.
A major benefit to customers is that mmWAVE sensors are compatible with existing Pulsar controllers already installed and used in the field, such as Ultra 3 and Ultra 5, meaning that sites can retrofit a RADAR sensor within their existing applications, redeploy Pulsar equipment across a wider range of applications for maximum flexibility, or test the performance of different measurement technologies without having to significantly reconfigure the device.
Commenting on the development, Pulsar’s Sales & Marketing Director, Alistair MacKinnon said, “Pulsar is known all over the world for its ultrasonic systems control and communication functions that have been developed over twenty years to meet the needs of a wide range of industries and processes. mmWAVE RADAR now allows us to broaden that approach to new markets and new applications.”
Selwood launches new environmentally-friendly pump a 28.5% increase in pressure, resulting in an extra 5m head.
Selwood, the UK’s leading pump rental solutions provider, has unveiled its new S160Eco solids handling pump which delivers increased performance and near-silent operation from an environmentally-friendly engine.
The S160Eco was developed by Selwood to complement its market-leading S range of solids handling pumps, in response to market demand for a unit that reduces emissions without sacrificing performance.
The S160Eco, housed in Selwood’s renowned Super Silent canopies, is the quietest pump on the market as tested against EU directive 2000/14/EC and is designed to meet stringent EU Stage IIIB emissions regulations.
The S160Eco utilises Selprime technology for fast, environmentally-friendly priming. Driven by an Isuzu diesel engine, the six-inch S160Eco is offered as an upgrade over Selwood’s current S150 model, offering

Chris Garrett, CEO of Selwood, said: “Customers are increasingly seeking to reduce emissions, and ever more stringent regulations make it paramount that Selwood remains at the forefront of environmentally-friendly technology.
“It is also important to us that customers achieve this without sacrificing performance. Our engineers have developed the S160Eco specifically in response to these demands – and it is a credit to them that they have produced a unit that meets emissions demands and offers improved performance when compared to our benchmark S150 model.
“Our customers expect quality, performance and innovation, and we are very proud of this new addition which offers more choice from Selwood’s market-leading solids handling range.”
The S160Eco is suitable for a full range of sewage, sewer bypass, overpumping, water and wastewater applications and is designed to handle large solids including raw sewage and fibrous solids without blocking.
The pump is built into an improved canopy with removable panel sections for ease of maintenance. The emissions compliance ensures the S160Eco can be used in inner cities where the most stringent regulations apply.
