Separation vessel
Level measurement and point level detection in a separator vessel tank for recovery of raw materials
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level and interface measurement, point level detection
        Measuring point:
    
    Vessel
        Measuring range up to:
    
    15 m
        Medium:
    
    Water-based media and hydrocarbons
        Process temperature:
    
    +20 … +80 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … +16 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Alternating media properties, emulsions
Application
These processes often involve the separation of water-based media from hydrocarbons. In most applications, the upper, lighter medium is electrically non-conductive. Guided radar level measurement makes use of the effect that non-conductive media allow some of the radar energy to pass through, thus enabling a measurement of the interface between the water-based lower medium and the hydrocarbons.
