Non Product Contact Through-Vessel Level Measurement on Plastic Chemical Storage Vessels using Vega PS11 Radar Level Transmitter

Our 80GHz Technology with high dynamic range permits the measurement of level directly through the wall of plastic chemical storage vessels. This dramatically simplifies installation where no process connections are required and instrument is not exposed to the process conditions or chemicals inside the vessel

EMCA recently deployed multiple Vega PS11 on Irish Water applications for the measurement of water treatment chemical in plastic storage vessels. The 80 Ghz technology utilized by the PS11 enables the radar to measure the level inside the vessel while ignoring the vessel wall material. This offers obvious advantages around the simplified installation of the instrument without any disruption to the process. This installation method also results in extended life span of the instrument at is never exposed to the harsh chemicals or process conditions inside the vessels. The design of the radar is also simplified in terms of materials of construction as we are not in contact process fluids making for a very affordable measurement.
