Application
Precise interface monitoring in refinery separators is critical to product quality because it confirms there is complete separation. For liquid-liquid interface in a BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) separator, an accurate measurement helps control the quality of the separator’s output and thus helps to extend equipment life in downstream units by avoiding potentially expensive operating issues.
