Dependable remote monitoring of mobile storage tanks
Dependable remote monitoring of mobile storage tanks
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
5 m
Medium:
Bitumen
Process temperature:
+3 ... +120 °C
Process pressure:
0 ... +5 bar
Special challenges:
Humid environment, foaming
Application
Safe filling and timely routing of tanker trucks is essential for reliable bitumen supply. The medium is hot and viscous and places high demands on both handling and safety. Accurate level measurement, in combination with wireless data transmission to a central location, guarantees optimal automatic refilling of these mobile containers.
