VEGA, the expert of Radiation-based measurement

Focus on CCR Projects in the Middle East

Interface tracking in desalters or alky settlers, density measurement of Coke drums and Hydrocracker units are just a few examples where Radiation-based technologies are used in the refining and petrochemical industry.

Radiation-based technologies cover the most demanding applications simply due to the fact that the complete system can be installed outside of the vessel without any contact with the product, even while the process is running.

 

One of the challenging application is the Continuous Catalytic Reforming Process (CCR).
The abrasive nature of the catalyst and the very high temperature required to reactivate the used catalyst, are a challenge for any other instruments.

VEGA's Radiometric system have been recognized by EPCs and Process Licensors all over the world as a reliable level control solution. 

Here are few recent projects where VEGA manufactured and commissioned such devices.
