As a common level measurement tool, radar level meters can be used in many fields and are characterized by high accuracy and high response time. However, for specific applications such as deaerators, the ability of radar level meters to perform level monitoring needs to be further examined and analyzed. In this paper, we will introduce the deaerator and the measurement difficulties and illustrate them with a practical case.
A deaerator is a common chemical reactor whose main function is to remove oxygen from the reactants in a chemical reaction to ensure that the reaction proceeds smoothly.
However, unlike general reactors, deaerators have some special properties during use: High pressure: The interior of the deaerator is usually under high-pressure conditions, which requires a fast response rate from the level measuring instrument.
Complex liquid environment: The chemicals in the deaerator are diverse and corrosive, which requires the level measuring instrument to have good acid and alkali anti-corrosion properties.
The level of the deaerator has a wide range of changes, and the reliability and accuracy of the instruments need to be considered when monitoring the level. There are several difficulties in the level measurement of deaerators as follows:
There is a high atmospheric pressure inside the deaerator, which makes the level measurement difficult. The chemicals in the deaerator are diverse and corrosive, so the level measurement instruments are required to be able to work stably in harsh environments.
The relatively large range of level changes in the deaerator places high demands on the accuracy and response speed of the level measurement instruments.
In a chemical company, a deaerator is one of the common equipment used in the company’s production process. The company needed to consider how to choose the most suitable level monitor from various aspects such as measurement height, model, and measurement stability.
Finally, they chose a radar level meter for level monitoring because of its fast response time, high accuracy, and good corrosion resistance.
The liquid level in the deaerator has a wide range of variation, and the radar level meter can successfully solve this problem. Radar level meter has good response-ability to the environment with fast level change and can work stably in high pressure and corrosive environment.
In the actual measurement case, the radar level meter successfully solves the monitoring problem of the deaerator liquid level and is widely used in production control.
Although deaerators have special environments such as high pressure and chemical detection, radar level meters are still a viable, highly accurate, and responsive level measurement tool.
In use, care needs to be taken to select a radar level meter that meets the actual application scenario and to properly calibrate and adjust it for factors such as external conditions and internal level changes.
With the continuous progress of level monitoring instrument technology, radar level meter will play a more important role in the level measurement of deaerator with the continuous progress of level monitoring instrument technology, radar level meter will play a more important role in the level measurement of deaerator.
