Compact slurry tanks in biogas plants
Level measurement in energy production from waste
Level measurement in energy production from waste
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Fermenter
Measuring range up to:
5 m
Medium:
Liquid manure, organic waste, corn silage
Process temperature:
+35 … +38 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 5 mbar
Special challenges:
Aggressive medium, gas overlay, measurement through closed container ceiling
Application
Biogas plants convert a mixture of organic waste and renewable raw materials into valuable energy through fermentation using a largely CO2 neutral process. Optimal consumption of the resources and maintenance-free operation require the use of highly reliable measurement technology. In all production steps – from the delivery of raw materials and waste to the removal of residues – the levels must be closely and accurately monitored.
