Measuring range up to
1 m
Medium
Light hydrocarbon
Process temperature
+260 … +400 °C
Process pressure
+0.5 … +4 bar
Special challenges
High temperature, buildup
Application
Accurate level control of the distillation unit ensures product quality of the hydrocarbon at the different cuts, but this is made difficult due to hot liquids flashing, buildup and high temperature. Even through process changes reliable level measurement and point level detection are required.
