At present, the main soda ash production processes are natural and synthetic. The natural alkali process is mainly found in countries with natural alkali mines, such as the USA. China also has alkali mines, but we are only in second place, so both the natural subtractive process and the ammonia alkali process of the synthetic subtractive process are widely used in China.
The advantage of the natural subtraction method is its low cost, but the disadvantage is the high sulphate content in the product. The biggest advantage of the ammonia-alkali process is the quality of the product, but the disadvantage is the high consumption of raw materials, the low utilization of raw salt, and the high discharge of waste liquids.
Whichever process is used, it is the accurate measurement method of the radar level meter that needs to be used to its best advantage to improve the efficiency of alkali production. But, how to choose the right radar level meter for the alkali plant, and what should I pay attention to when choosing a radar level meter?
In the production of alkali, containers such as lye tanks, crude brine tanks, and clarification drums are used, which contain media with volatile, volatile, crystalline, and high-temperature characteristics. So we have to consider the components that propagate the microwave pulse and which material antenna is better to choose. Which of these elements will minimize the influence of the characteristics of the medium?
26GHz high-frequency radar level meter has the following main advantages.
Advantage one: non-contact radar, no wear, and tear, no pollution, and the use of a variety of strong corrosive liquids in the measurement of liquids.
Advantage two: high signal-to-noise ratio, even in the case of fluctuations can also obtain better performance, conducive to the measurement of fluctuating objects.
Advantage three: almost unaffected by corrosion, foam; almost unaffected by water vapor, temperature, and pressure changes in the atmosphere.
Alkali plant selection of radar level meter should pay attention to what aspects? After the product is determined, we have to choose the suitable radar level meter product model according to the specific production environment and measurement medium, to meet the needs of production to the maximum extent.
