Continuous measurement and point level detection in liquid material storage tanks.
Application
Liquid storage tanks are used to store a variety of liquids including water, crude oil, gasoline, diesel as well as hazardous chemicals. Proper monitoring of level not only prevents overfills, but also helps to ensure these tanks never run empty. Maintaining adequate level within in these tanks is important in maintaining production.
Choosing the best level instrument will depend largely on the process conditions and the desired outcome.
Point Level Switches provide simple high/low level alarm indication and can be utilized as primary level indication or as a secondary instrument to provide redundancy.
Depending upon the process conditions, either a Radar or ultrasonic level transmitter can be used to provide a continuous 4/20mA output signal, proportional to liquid level. This signal can be sent to a digital display, PLC or DCS system.
Magnetic Level Indicators provide visual level indication and can be coupled with side mounted transmitters for continuous level measurement. Adjustable MLS switches can be added for alarm set points – providing an all in one solution.
Industries: Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Wastewater, Chemical, Food & Beverage, Paper, Petrochemical and Refining.
