Ammonia storage tanks are a common industrial storage vessel for ammonia and other gases. Level measurement is necessary during the storage and supply of ammonia.
Due to the special properties of ammonia storage tanks, it is difficult for traditional-level measurement equipment to meet their needs.
In this paper, we will introduce the characteristics of ammonia storage tanks and provide an actual measurement case to demonstrate the application of guided wave radar level meters in the level measurement of ammonia storage tanks.
The physical and chemical properties of ammonia storage tanks require cost-effective and reliable level monitoring technology.
The following are the characteristics and difficulties of level measurement in ammonia storage tanks: Liquid properties: ammonia is a high-pressure liquefied gas, chemically active, toxic and flammable, which makes level measurement more difficult.
Environmental requirements: ammonia storage tanks should be used under stable conditions, including temperature, pressure, humidity and other aspects.
This will put forward higher requirements on the working environment of the level measurement equipment.
Accuracy requirements: the safety guard of ammonia storage tanks, the level measurement needs to be able to carry out high-precision, high-resolution, blind-free monitoring of the liquid level.
Below is an actual measurement example to demonstrate the use of guided wave radar level meters for level measurement in ammonia storage tanks.
An ammonia compressor manufacturer needed level monitoring in its liquid ammonia storage tanks to ensure that it was accurately supplying mixed and pure ammonia.
Since traditional level measurement tools could not meet the requirements for high-pressure ammonia level measurement, the manufacturer used guided wave radar level meters for level measurement.
The guided wave radar level meter can penetrate tanks and pipelines to directly measure the ammonia level height, and can directly detect the presence of ammonia bubbles to avoid misidentifying the liquid level.
The device is characterized by high precision, high reliability, long life and is not easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature and pressure.
With the guided wave radar level meter, this manufacturer has achieved the goal of accurately measuring ammonia storage tanks, thus providing security for the production process.
Guided wave radar level meter has significant advantages in ammonia storage tank level measurement, the complexity of the storage tank environment makes it difficult for the traditional level measurement equipment to perform the task of liquid level monitoring.
While the guided wave radar level meter can penetrate the vessel wall and pipeline, no blind zone measurement, avoiding the interference and error of physical quantity, with high accuracy, high reliability, and good environmental resistance performance.
Through the demonstration of the case, we can clearly see the application effect of a guided wave radar level meter in the ammonia storage tank level measurement.
In the future application process, a guided wave radar level meter will undoubtedly provide safer, more efficient, and accurate data support for industrial storage tank level monitoring to ensure the normal operation and stability of production and industrial production equipment.
In the future, guided wave radar level meters will continue to develop and innovate in the field of level measurement to provide efficient and accurate level monitoring services and solutions for various industries.
