Alumina powder silo
Level measurement and point level detection in alumina powder silos
Level measurement and point level detection in alumina powder silos
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Silo
Measuring range up to:
60 m
Medium:
Alumina powder
Process temperature:
0 … +80 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Dust generation, tall containers
Application
The alumina powder is kept ready in storage and day silos for subsequent smelting. Aluminium smelting is carried out in the fused salt electrolysis process, where pure liquid aluminium is extracted from aluminium oxide. Optimal storage is ensured by level measurement and point level detection.
