80 GHz level measurement in the chemical industry

In the chemical industry, chemicals are often stored in storage tanks. For example, Liquid Sodium Glucoheponate, a medium to prevent growth of crystal. This medium is very hot and can generate steam vapors in the tank. It has a moving product surface and condenses in cold weather conditions, there is also a multi-blade agitator in these tanks.

The requirements for level measurement of this medium are a measurement as accurate as possible, with low maintenance and easy control of storage management. The tanks are often at difficult to reach locations, so maintenance can result into challenging situations. With the use of the contact-free 80 GHz radar level transmitter OPTIWAVE 7500, there is almost no maintenance: reduced loss of production time. In case of any replacement, the entire instrument can be easily disassembled.

Agitators or internal obstructions are no problem for this radar level transmitter, the instrument can filter the obstructions, if necessary by using an empty tank spectrum, without direct contact with the medium. Even condensation or deposits have no effect on this compact plug & play level measurement with PEEK antenna. The radar continuously provides an accurate reliable measurement signal, eliminating the risk of overfilling as well.

80 GHz radar level transmitter a safe compact solution for the chemical industry!
