Abstract
A thickener/clarifier system includes a thickener/clarifier and one or more sensors measuring respective process or operating parameters of the thickener/clarifier(s) during operation thereof. The sensors are operatively coupled via hard-wired connections and possibly via 4-20 mA converters to one or more wireless transmitters. At least one wireless receiver receives the wireless signal(s) from the transmitter(s). At least one display is hard-wire coupled to the receiver(s) for displaying a magnitude of each process or operating parameter measured.
