Level measurement in rainwater collecting tanks
Process data
Measuring task:
Level of measurement
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
3 m
Medium:
Mixture consisting of water, oil and sand
Process temperature:
0 … +50 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Wind, temperature fluctuations
Application
Rain run-off on board of oil platforms and ships is polluted with production residues and contaminants such as oil, sand and dirt. The rainwater with these contaminants must be collected in special tanks and properly disposed of. A reliable level measurement in the tank protects against overflow of the open drain removing the possibility of subsequent marine pollution.
