A tank including a fluid reservoir, a communication module, a controller, and at least one sensor. The fluid reservoir is configured to be in fluid communication with a cable segment. The communication module is configured to communicate with an external device. The sensor is configured to detect an injection parameter value, encode the injection parameter value in a sensor signal, and send the sensor signal to the controller. The controller is configured to automatically instruct the communication module to transmit information to the external device based on the injection parameter value.

A negative pressure pipeline opening-and-closing device includes a blocking member and a buoyant member. The buoyant member comprises two floats and a connection rod connected to the two floats. The liquid reservoir is provided with a guide therein, and the guide confines the two floats, the blocking member and the liquid outlet port in the same vertical line. A limiting member is arranged between the two floats and is fixed to an inner wall of the liquid reservoir. A maximum distance between the limiting member and a top wall of a lower float of the two floats is smaller than a maximum distance between a top wall of an upper float of the two floats and a top wall of the liquid reservoir. The negative pressure pipeline opening-and-closing device can replace an existing electrically controlled valve. Therefore, the cost is reduced, the maintenance is convenient and service life is prolonged.

An overflow system comprising a holding tank having a left side, a right side, and a bottom portion; a water inlet located on the left side proximate to the top portion at a first height; an exhaust port located on the right side proximate to the top portion at a second height; a collection member located proximate to the bottom portion, the collection member consisting of a plurality of parallel pipes, wherein each of the plurality of parallel pipes have a plurality of perforations; a vertical exhaust conduit having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the collection member and the second end is coupled to the exhaust port; a volume of liquid stored in the holding tank, the volume of liquid having a volume of stagnate liquid located in the bottom portion of the holding tank; and a volume of supplied fresh liquid configured to be delivered through the water inlet.

A level gauge includes a housing, a vertical member, and a perpendicular member. The housing includes a bottom wall and a side wall. A surface of the side wall includes a first scale. The bottom wall and the side wall enclose a receiving cavity. The vertical member is arranged in the receiving cavity and includes an axis maintained in a vertical orientation in a natural state. A center of gravity of the perpendicular member is arranged on top of the vertical member. A plane of the perpendicular member is maintained perpendicular to the axis of the vertical member. When the bottom wall is placed on a gauging surface, an inclination angle and inclination direction of the gauging surface are obtained simultaneously.

A liquid level control system, which may be used with a clarifier in a sewage treatment plant, manages liquid level of an upstream basin by controlling liquid flow in or out of a system that may use a midstream device to equally distribute flow in or out of the basin. This headloss inducing device creates a non-linear relationship between upstream liquid level to be controlled and the lesser downstream liquid level behind the gate or valve. Without the use of electrical controls, the systems of the invention include a gate or valve with counterforces that manage the outflow stream of liquid while accounting for the non-linear head loss created by the midstream device, thus reaching a desired liquid level range for all system flowrates.

An application for a flow control system includes a pressure vessel, positioned within the interior of a container which is fluidly interfaced to a downstream drainage system. The pressure vessel has at least one opening through its lower surface, through which it is slideably engaged over the exterior of a closed conduit which is in fluid communication with an upstream reservoir. There is no need for a seal between the pressure vessel and the closed conduit such that the interior of the pressure vessel is in fluid communication with the interior of the container. Additional openings, from the interior of the pressure vessel may also be provided. A means to restrain the pressure vessel from significant lateral movement is provided. As the fluid pressure rises in the pressure vessel in response to an increase in the fluid level in the upstream reservoir, the openings through the pressure vessel rise to prescribed level and the release rate of fluid into the downstream drainage system is maintained at a prescribed rate or range of rates as the fluid level continues to rise.
