Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining the cross-sectional area [A(H)] of a tank of a pump station within an interspace (Y). The method includes the steps of establishing the cross sectional area [A(H-seg)] of the tank in a sub-segment of the interspace (Y), operating the pump to transport liquid away from the tank and determining the pumped flow [Q(H-seg)] in the sub-segment, determining the pumped flow [Q(H)] in the interspace (Y) based on the determined sub-segment pumped flow [Q(H-seg)], operating the pump to transfer liquid away from the tank and by means of the liquid level sensor determining a liquid level change [ΔH(H)] in the interspace (Y), and determining the cross-sectional area [A(H)] of the tank within the interspace (Y), by dividing the interspace pumped flow [Q(H)] by the liquid level change [ΔH(H)], [Q(H)/ΔH(H)=A(H)].
