Bleaching tower
Level measurement and point level detection in the bleaching tower
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level measurement and point level detection
        Measuring point:
    
    Bleaching tower
        Measuring range up to:
    
    25 m
        Medium:
    
    Pulp
        Process temperature:
    
    +85 … +95 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … 0 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Different pulp densities
Application
In order to achieve the desired degree of whiteness, the pulp must be bleached. For this it is filled into the 
25 meter high bleaching tower. The bleaching process runs continuously at temperatures up to 95 °C, with using chemicals such as oxygen, ozone or peroxide. The bleached pulp is discharged via screw conveyors. Due to its size, the bleaching tower is never emptied. Continuous level measurement enables a smooth process flow.
