Liquid waste buffer tank
Level measurement and point level detection in buffer tanks for liquid waste
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
8 m
Medium:
Acids and alkalis
Process temperature:
+10 … +30 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +16 bar
Special challenges:
Frequently changing media, media with different dielectric constants
Application
In preparation for proper disposal, liquid wastes that arise in the production of pharmaceuticals are temporarily stored in buffer tanks. These potentially hazardous mixtures consist of diverse media with very different properties including dielectric conductivity (dielectric constant) and density. For optimal storage, reliable and accurate level measurement is required. Point level detection ensures overfill and dry run protection.
Your benefit
