Cargo tank in a bitumen tanker
Level measurement and point level detection in the cargo tanks of a bitumen tanker
Dados do processo
Tarefa de medição:
Level measurement and point level detection
Ponto de medição:
Tank
Faixa de medição até:
15 m
Produto:
Bitumen
Temperatura do processo:
+170 … +190 °C
Pressão do processo:
0 … 0 bar
Desafios especiais:
High temperatures, chemically aggressive medium, condensation, highly viscous, heavy buildup, heating pipes at the tank bottom, ship approvals
Área de utilização
Bitumen is transported at temperatures of around 170 °C to 190 °C. The heating is supplied via an array of multi-layered heating tubes mounted on the floor and sides of the tanks. To ensure efficient utilisation of the tanks as well as a safe ship attitude, the levels in the bitumen tanks require accurate monitoring, particularly during loading and unloading.
