Level measurement in an aluminium powder suspension reactor
Level measurement in an aluminium powder suspension reactor
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Reactor
Measuring range up to:
1.2 m
Medium:
Aluminium powder suspension
Process temperature:
0 … +130 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +0.3 bar
Special challenges:
Low dielectric constant, confined spaces, strong turbulence on the product surface, condensation
Application
Aluminium powder suspension is an intermediate for titanium sponge production. In the reactor, vanadium oxide trichloride is removed from the aluminium powder suspension. When the aluminium powder suspension is fed into the reactor, strong turbulence arises on the product surface. To optimize the process, the level in the reactor must be accurately measured and monitored.
