Holykell Wireless Level Sensor for Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) Level Monitoring

Holykell Wireless Level Sensor

In the agriculture sector, effective nutrient management is essential for maximizing crop yield and maintaining soil health. Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) is a popular liquid fertilizer that provides plants with essential nitrogen. However, accurately monitoring UAN levels in storage tanks and application systems poses significant challenges for a farm manager from U.S.A.

Understanding UAN in Agriculture

UAN is a widely used nitrogen fertilizer that combines urea and ammonium nitrate in a liquid form. This formulation allows for quick absorption by plants, making it an effective nutrient source. Proper management of UAN levels is critical to avoid overapplication, which can lead to environmental issues such as runoff and groundwater contamination. Accurate monitoring of UAN levels helps farmers apply the right amount of fertilizer at the right time, enhancing both productivity and sustainability.

After receiving this manager’s inquiry for UAN level monitoring, we recommended him our wireless level sensor.

Key Features of Holykell Wireless Level Sensor

Holykell’s wireless level sensor H2603 is specifically designed for Smart Agriculture, providing several advantages over traditional monitoring methods:

Wireless Technology: The sensor utilizes advanced wireless technology, 4G/LORA/LORAWAN supported. It eliminates the need for complex wiring systems. This feature not only reduces installation time but also allows for flexibility in sensor placement, especially in remote or hard-to-reach locations.

Real-Time Monitoring and Alarm: Farmers can access real-time data on UAN liquid levels via a PC or APP remotely, without frequent farm visits. And upper/lower limits can be preset so alarms will be sent out via the limits exceeds, which prevents overfills or shortages, optimizing fertilizer application and enhancing efficiency.

Robust Construction: Designed to endure harsh agricultural environments, the Holykell sensor is resistant to corrosion from UAN and temperature changes. This durability ensures a long lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.

High Precision: The sensor provides highly accurate measurements of UAN levels, up to 0.1%F.S accuracy, which is essential for maintaining optimal fertilizer concentration. Accurate monitoring helps maximize nutrient efficiency and minimize waste.

User-Friendly Interface: Its big local LCD display offers an intuitive interface for users to easily view, showing level/battery level/temperature/signal and more data.

Applications of Holykell Wireless Level Sensor in UAN Monitoring Storage Tanks: UAN is often stored in large tanks on farms. Holykell’s wireless level sensor allows for continuous monitoring of no matter water, wastewater, UAN or other liquids.

Fertilizer Application Systems: The sensor can be integrated into UAN application systems or other monitoring & control systems.

Environmental Protection: By preventing over-application of UAN, the sensor contributes to sustainable agricultural practices. This is crucial for reducing nutrient runoff that can contaminate water sources and promote responsible fertilizer management.

Measurement Results

For this application, we recommend him using full stainless steel 316 for the probe housing instead of our standard 304 housing for better resistance to corrosion.

After installing and using them for a few days, he sent us an email, saying that “the sensors work great!”
