Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Sump
Measuring range up to:
3 m
Medium:
Water and hydrocarbons
Process temperature:
-40 … +45 °C
Process pressure:
+1 … +3 bar
Special challenges:
Foam, buildup
Application
The level in the sumps around a refinery must be reliably monitored to prevent overfilling and subsequent pollution, or pump overload. Balanced pump utilization is possible thanks to a pump control rotation system integrated into the controller.
Your benefit
Reliable
Measurement optimizes pump usage via pump control functions
