Catalytic stripper tower is a common chemical equipment, and its main role is to process crude oil in petrochemical production. In the production process of catalytic stripper towers, liquid level measurement is very important, and a radar level meter is a common level measurement instrument.
In this paper, we will introduce the application of a radar level meter in a catalytic stripper tower and discuss the issues that need to be paid attention to when a radar level meter is used to measure a catalytic stripper tower.
Catalytic stripper towers are highly automated equipment, and their level measurement needs to be characterized by high accuracy and fast response time. A radar level meter is a kind of level-measuring instrument that meets these requirements, so it is widely used in catalytic stripper towers.
Although the radar level meter is widely used in the catalytic stripper tower, in actual use, the following issues still need to be noted: temperature variation: the liquid temperature in the catalytic stripper tower varies greatly, and the radar level meter needs to be compensated for the temperature to improve the accuracy of the level measurement.
Liquid level variation range: The liquid level in the catalytic stripper tower varies widely, and a suitable radar level meter needs to be selected to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its level measurement. The installation position of the radar level meter has an important influence on the accuracy of the liquid level measurement, and it is necessary to choose a suitable installation position to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the liquid level measurement.
In an oil refinery, they need to measure the level of the catalytic stripper tower to ensure a normal production process. After comparison and analysis, they chose a radar level meter with fast response time, high accuracy, and good corrosion resistance for liquid level measurement. In the actual application, they encountered the following problems:
Temperature variation: The liquid temperature in the catalytic stripper tower varies greatly, which affects the accuracy of the level measurement of the radar level meter.
Liquid level variation range: The liquid level in the catalytic stripper tower varies widely, which requires the selection of a suitable radar level meter to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its level measurement. Instrument installation position: The installation position of the radar level meter has an important influence on the accuracy of the liquid level measurement, and it is necessary to choose a suitable installation position to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the liquid level measurement.
To address these issues, they made a series of adjustments and optimizations, including temperature compensation for the radar level meter to improve the accuracy of the level measurement. The level variation range was analyzed and tested, and a suitable radar level meter was selected for the level measurement.
The installation position of the radar level meter was adjusted to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its level measurement. Through these adjustments and optimizations, they successfully solved the problem of liquid level monitoring in catalytic stripper towers and were widely used in production control.
The radar level meter is a high-precision, fast response and corrosion-resistant level measuring instrument with the advantage of level monitoring in catalytic vapor extraction towers. 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 according to external conditions and internal liquid level changes, among other factors.
With the continuous progress of level monitoring instrument technology, radar level meter will play a more important role in the level measurement of catalytic stripper tower.
