Intermediate hazardous waste storage tank
Level measurement and point level detection in an intermediate storage tank
Level measurement and point level detection in an intermediate storage tank
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
15 m
Medium:
Lacquers, paints, thinners
Process temperature:
+5 … +40 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Outgassing, agitators, changing composition
Application
Both chemical and thermal processes are used to treat hazardous waste. For efficient processing, the flow rate through the processing facility must be kept constant. To facilitate this, hazardous wastes such as varnishes, paints and thinners are buffered in tanks. Agitators prevent clumping and settling of the solids contained in the mixture. Reliable level measurement ensures continuous waste processing is maintained.
