Storage tanks for acids

Level measurement, limit level detection and leak detection in storage tanks for acids and alkalis

Process data

Measuring task:

Level measurement and limit level detection

Measuring point:

Tank

Measuring range up to:

4 m

Medium:

Sulphuric or hydrochloric acid

Process temperature:

-40 … +200 °C

Process pressure:

0 … 0 bar

Special challenges:

Aggressive media

Application

Highly concentrated acids and alkalis are required as additives for many different processes. The plant operator needs the exact level readings from the tanks at all times in order to ensure timely replenishment and continuous production. A separate limit level detection system ensures that the tank is not overfilled in the event of a malfunction. For additional leak detection, the cable-mounted version can be deployed: it detects at an early stage any escape of aggressive media from the tank.
