Yes it can, but you will you will get echoes off any imperfections in the wall. (You did mean 10 inches diameter, a 10 foot tank would be easy.) I doubt you will be able to read below the agitator but it's not usual to do that anyway.

>From the size of your tank I assume it's a pilot plant, a better choice might be a bottom mount DP level transmitter or even a bubbler setup and regular DP. Weight is also a good method for a pilot plant.

Hope this helps,
Roy
