Level Measurement Becomes Non-Contact And Non-Invasive

There are a number of industries such as off shore oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and others where a non-invasive measuring system is increasingly vital to the minimization of leaks or emissions and to protect processes, people and the environment. Also required may be the use of non contact measuring technologies that will reduce the exposure or wear in abrasive or corrosive conditions, resist high pressure or continue to function in high temperature process conditions.

Nucleonics level, density, interface and weight can be monitored by measuring gauges and are the ultimate solution for applications using non-contact measurement. The detectors are completely unaffected by the conditions inside by being mounted externally from the vessel or process. Also, they are easily accessed, installed or removed. The additional advantage of nucleonic detectors are that they fortuitously combine high sensitivity with no moving parts that will wear, bind, corrode or fail. These devices can often be installed and commissioned without process shutdown and in most applications, no alteration to the process vessel is needed, which means no expensive design changes to existing pressure vessels is required either. Their high sensitivity also means that very small size detectors can be fitted, increasing safety for the installing crew and maximising the operational lifespan of the systems.

Industries and processes can be heavily reliant on the use of non invasive, accurate, level measurement technology to ensure production is consistently kept at high levels and uncontaminated. They can also explore a variety of non-contact measurement devices. That’s also true if continuous accuracy is required in the process. Inflowing contaminated water is transported by the way of screw conveyors or pumps with the main inlet chamber level used as the only means of controlling the rate of pumping in the a large amount of sewage treatment plants. Some plants specializing in sewage treatment only on a maximum/minimum detection level, but continuous water level sensor using ultrasonic devices is proving to be greatly more effective, especially when detecting solids in the liquid.
