Sulfuric Acid Storage Radar Level Transmitter

When a Gulf Coast chemical distributor needed reliable level measurement of their acid storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm receives, stores, dilutes and delivers sulfuric acid to clients from their state of the art truck terminal. There they cold store sulfuric in concentrations as high as 99% with an air purge and nitrogen blanket above the liquid. The I&C engineer was dissatisfied with previous ultrasonic level sensors that performed erratically due to vapor and nitrogen signal attenuation. He wanted a reliable, non-contact, corrosion-resistant level sensor that’s not influenced by tank vapor. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our LR20 radar sensor that’s unaffected by such media or process variables, and flange mounts with a corrosion resistant PTFE antenna shield. The radar sensors provide reliable data to the PLC which monitors the sulfuric tanks and controls the terminal functions. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
