Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Pressure measurement and point level detection
        Measuring point:
    
    Pump station
        Measuring range up to:
    
    3 bar
        Medium:
    
    Wet strength agent
        Process temperature:
    
    +20 … +40 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … +3 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Viscous medium, fast reaction required, small pipe diameters
Application
Wet strength agents are polymeric additives that enhance water resistance properties, especially in sanitary and specialty papers. They are applied in the paper machine via a size press or spraying device. Because of their high pH value, these substances are stored in double-walled GRP (glass reinforced plastic) tanks. The high viscosity of the medium requires the use of a pneumatic conveyor system and special eccentric pumps for filling and emptying. With these pump types, dry run protection and pressure monitoring is a necessity.
