Oil Well Chemical Tank Radar Level Transmitter

When an Oklahoma oil company needed reliable level measurement of their corrosion and scaling inhibitor chemical feed tanks, they turned to Flowline. Based on the mineral and water composition of each site, one or more inhibitors are injected into the well to protect the casing and increase lubricity. Their challenge is in monitoring and supplying hundreds of identical small tanks dispersed over large fields. The operator required an intrinsically safe, corrosion resistant level sensor with a Modbus output for integration with their SCADA, that’s unaffected by weather and easily configured or checked by approved staff onsite. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our intrinsically safe LR81 radar sensor with BLE to App configuration that provides secure and easy sensor access on their phones. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the SCADA, which monitors the tanks and alarms for chemical replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
