Chemical Distributor Tank Radar Level Transmitter

When a Midwest chemical distributor needed reliable level measurement of their solvent and acid storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm receives bulk deliveries at their transloading station where chemicals are pumped from tanker railcars into large storage tanks. There the plant engineer said they needed to replace failing level sensors and stated his requirements. “We need a reliable, non-contact corrosion-resistant level sensor that can be applied with acids, caustics and hazardous solvents with a dielectric value ≥ 2.0. Last, if this can be achieved with a single type, that’s our preference.” For these reasons, Flowline suggested our intrinsically safe LR21 radar sensor that meets those requirements and flange mounts with a PTFE antenna shield. Each radar sensor is coupled with a LI24 level indicator that repeats the signal to the PLC for inventory management. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
