Caustic Soda Storage Tank Radar Level Measurement

When a Midwest chemical distributor needed reliable level measurement of their caustic bulk storage tank, they turned to Flowline. The company batch fills and delivers IBC tote and drum containers of sodium hydroxide to their clients. Caustic soda foams when agitated, and this often occurs during pump transfer from one tank to another. Each month, the storage tank is refilled via a rail tanker car delivery. During which, plant operators complained that prior ultrasonic level sensors became unreliable until the foam dissipated, and this really impacted transloading. For this reason, Flowline suggest our LR10 radar sensor that’s unaffected by foam, vapor or corrosive media. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the LI55 level controller that indicates the caustic level and alarms for replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
