Chemical Rail Terminal Tank Radar Level Transmitter

When a Mississippi chemical distributor needed reliable level measurement of their terminal tanks, they turned to Flowline. Acids are delivered from manufacturers via railcars, and are pumped into storage tanks for customer distribution via tanker trucks. The operators monitor the filling process and level measurement is critical. The I&C technician was dissatisfied with previous ultrasonic level sensors in their hydrochloric, hydrofluoric and nitric acids due to th effects of vapor, and its attenuation of acoustic signals. For this reason, Flowline suggested our LR20 radar sensor that’s unaffected by vapor, and ideal for corrosive media with its PTFE antenna shield. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the LI55 level controller, which displays the level, and shuts down the pump in an alarm condition. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
