Storage tanks for highly toxic liquids
Level measurement and point level detection in highly toxic media
|
|
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
3 m
Medium:
Highly toxic substances, e.g. phosgene
Process temperature:
-40 … +60 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Highly toxic, chemically aggressive, volatile media
Application
For extremely toxic substances such as phosgene, absolute control over the process is a necessity. In industrial applications, these products are only used in hermetically closed circuits. To minimize the inherent risks, independent protection devices form an integral part of the tank equipment. Moreover, it is important to keep the number of tank openings as small as possible. An external level measuring system that includes point level detection is ideal for such situations.
