Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Concrete pit
Measuring range up to:
30 m
Medium:
Elemental sulphur
Process temperature:
+150 … +200 °C
Process pressure:
+1 … +1.5 bar
Special challenges:
High temperature, buildup, corrosive medium
Application
The liquid sulphur, which comes directly from the sulphur recovery plant, is stored in underground concrete pits. High temperatures are required to maintain the sulphur in its liquid form. The harsh, corrosive process and environmental conditions in sulphur pits require dependable level measurement.
