Process data
Measuring task
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point
Column
Measuring range up to
1 m
Medium
Light hydrocarbon
Process temperature
+260 … +400 °C
Process pressure
+0.5 … +3 bar
Special challenges
High process temperature, buildup
Application
Accurate level control of the depropanizer ensures product quality of the obtained hydrocarbons, but this is made difficult due to hot liquids flashing, buildup and high temperature. Even through quick process changes reliable level measurement and point level detection are required to ensure a smooth operation of the plant.
