Efficient instrumentation in refineries & the petrochemical industry in general

Wherever oil, gas or petrochemical products are processed or refined, our maintenance-free instrumentation ensures maximum efficiency.

Optimising refineries and petrochemical processes with reliable level measurement

Precisely controlled processes are essential for transforming crude oil and gas into valuable products of the future. VEGA's measurement technology ensures maximum safety, efficiency and durability – at every stage of the process, as well as compliance with the strictest environmental regulations.

Highest precision

Reliable measured values even at extreme temperatures or high pressures and in applications with corrosive media.

All-round safety

Explosion protection, SIL-certified solutions and cybersecurity for safety-related applications.

Future-proof networking

Integration into digital process control systems, Industry 4.0 technologies and Bluetooth connectivity.

Optimised processes for refineries and the petrochemical industry

Whether in high-pressure vessels, during distillation or in reactors: VEGA transmitters enable seamless monitoring of critical processes in refineries and petrochemical plants. Thanks to intelligent diagnostics, they minimise unplanned downtime and maximise plant efficiency. In this way, we not only support compliance with strict legal requirements, but also long-term safe and economical production.
