Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level and pressure measurement
        Measuring point:
    
    Tank/pipeline
        Measuring range up to:
    
    0 … 30 m
        Medium:
    
    Gas
        Process temperature:
    
    0 … +50 °C
        Process pressure:

Application
The methane gas extracted from the digestion tank is temporarily stored in a gas reservoir. Depending on the design of the gas storage facility, either a flexible diaphragm of plastic or a floating roof is used for volume equalization. The gas volume and gas pressure are measured continuously to ensure reliable and safe operation.
