Special challenges
Frequently changing media, media with different dielectric constants
Application
In preparation for proper disposal, liquid wastes that arise in the production of pharmaceuticals are temporarily stored in buffer tanks. These potentially hazardous mixtures consist of diverse media with very different properties including dielectric conductivity (dielectric constant) and density. For optimal storage, reliable and accurate level measurement is required.
