Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Sump
Measuring range up to:
3 m
Medium:
Water and hydrocarbons
Process temperature:
-40 … +45 °C
Process pressure:
+1 … +3 bar
Special challenges:
Foam, buildup
Application
The level in the sumps around a refinery must be reliably monitored to prevent overfilling and subsequent pollution, or pump overload. Balanced pump utilization is possible thanks to a pump control rotation system integrated into the controller.
Your benefit
Reliable
Measurement optimizes pump usage via pump control functions
Cost effective
Pump control ensures energy conservation and long pump service life
User friendly
