Ammonia Bulk Storage Tank Radar Level Transmitter

When a Southeast biomass power plant needed reliable level measurement of their ammonia bulk storage tank, they turned to Flowline. The plant’s exhaust stream contains hazardous pollutants that are safely removed via their scrubber. Liquid ammonia is one of the chemicals injected into the scrubber as part of this process. Highly corrosive and vaporous, ammonia is difficult to measure. A large bullet tank supplies the scrubber with 19% ammonia. There the I&C technician had ongoing problems with a different radar level sensor brand, that would lock up on their stand-pipe fitting connections. For this reason, Flowline suggested our LR20 radar sensor with digital signal processing that automatically disregards the erroneous fitting reflections. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors the storage tank and controls the scrubber process. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
