Pork Plant Disinfection Tank Radar Level Measurement

When an Arkansas pork processor needed reliable level measurement of their chlorine storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. Every 72 hours, the plant stops processing to clean and disinfect their work surfaces and equipment. During so, peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide are sprayed on and brushed in cleaning, and then chlorine dioxide is sprayed on for disinfection and rinsed with a pressure washer. The operator said they’ve had significant level problems in the chlorine tank with ultrasonic sensors due to vapor attentuation and pressure sensors due to corrosion. Both led to chemical shortages and downtime, and they needed reliable chemical measurement. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our LR10 radar sensor that’s unaffected by chemical vapor with a PFA antenna for strong corrosion resistance. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC that monitors the tanks and alarms for replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
