1. Coal industry
Radar level meters can be used in the coal industry for raw coal silos, pulverized coal silos, coal gangue storage levels, coal washing ponds, and other production processes.
These applications are typical of solid material measurement, with strong dust, low dielectric constants and long ranges.
2. Steel industry
In the iron and steel industry, radar level meters can be applied to production links mainly including coal coking:
coal preparation bins, coke bins, gas cabinets, coal tar, and crude benzene tanks; sintering plants:
sintering material mixing bins, cold return ore, pellet bins; ironmaking plants: ironmaking intermediate bins,
blast furnace material levels, etc.
The working conditions of these links have the following characteristics.
① volatile crystallization of tar and crude benzene.
② High temperature and dust adhesion at blast furnace level.
③ solid material measurement, strong dust, low dielectric constant, and long measuring range.
3. Non-ferrous metallurgical industry(aluminium, nickel, zinc, titanium, etc.)
Radar level meters are also frequently used in the metallurgical industry in the production of (aluminum) slurry tanks,
dissolution tanks, flash kettles, post-dissolution tanks, flocculation tanks, settling tanks, decomposition tanks,
alumina powder silos, and other production processes.
The working conditions in these segments are complex, with various chemical reaction environments characterized by
high temperatures, strong water vapor, agitation, or corrosion.
4. Cement industry
In the cement industry, common production segments are raw material storage, raw material homogenisation storage, clinker storage, finished product storage, fly ash silos, raw coal silos, gypsum storage, and cement slag silos.
The working conditions in the above-mentioned segments are characterized by strong dust, low dielectric constants and long measuring ranges.
5. Electricity industry (thermal power, hydropower, biopower)
Raw coal and pulverized coal silos, circulating pools, low plus high plus water levels, limestone powder silos, ash hopper levels, ash storage, slag silos, desulphurization tower liquids, etc. are the production links in the power industry.
When measuring solid materials, these solid materials have the characteristics of strong dust, low dielectric constant, and long measuring range, and when measuring FGD tower liquid level, it has more foam, water vapor, and accompanied by crystallization, spray interference, etc.
6. Semiconductor industry
Production link: silica micronaire silo.
Characteristics of the working conditions: very low dielectric constant, strong dust.
7. Water industry
Application range: flood alarm, hydrological monitoring, agricultural irrigation.
Characteristics of working conditions: installation location subject to river embankment, low power supply voltage, signal transmission far away, the influence of dams preferentially choose radar waves with small beam angle.
8. petrochemical and coal chemical.
Production segments.
Petrochemicals – crude oil depots, gasoline tanks, diesel tanks, natural gas tanks, etc.
Coal coke chemical – refers to the coal industry.
Calcium carbide chemical industry – coal silos, calcium carbide silos, etc.
Characteristics of working conditions: various oil reservoirs with simple measurement environment and possible accuracy requirements; solid material measurement, strong dust, low dielectric constant, long-range;
gas cabinet-level measurement with oscillating interference echoes; natural gas spherical tanks with pressure and small dielectric constant; various chemical reactors with varying conditions
9. Food and pharmaceutical industry
Production chain: edible oil tanks, soybean meal storage tanks.
Characteristics of the working conditions: simple oil tank environment, precision requirements, antenna hygiene requirements for the pharmaceutical and food industries.
10. Environmental protection and water treatment industry
Treatment links: catchment wells, fine grate, coarse grate, biochemical reaction tank, sludge tank, mud flushing tank, well dissolution tank.
Characteristics of the working conditions: relatively simple environment with the exception of long distances and narrow spaces such as catchment wells.
