Sulphur pit
Level measurement in sulphur pits
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level measurement
        Measuring point:
    
    Concrete pit
        Measuring range up to:
    
    30 m
        Medium:
    
    Elemental sulphur
        Process temperature:
    
    +150 … +200 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    +1 … +1.5 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    High temperature, buildup, corrosive medium
Application
The liquid sulphur, which comes directly from the sulphur recovery plant, is stored in underground concrete pits. High temperatures are required to maintain the sulphur in its liquid form. The harsh, corrosive process and environmental conditions in sulphur pits require dependable level measurement.
