Application
Both chemical and thermal processes are used to treat hazardous waste. For efficient processing, the flow rate through the processing facility must be kept constant. To facilitate this, hazardous wastes such as varnishes, paints and thinners are buffered in tanks. Agitators prevent clumping and settling of the solids contained in the mixture. Reliable level measurement ensures continuous waste processing is maintained.
