Application of external-mounted level gauges in the pesticide industry

Thread Content

The pesticide industry is an industry with a long production process, complex manufacturing techniques, and high quality standards； Each drug requires a variety of raw materials and auxiliary substances, and many of these raw materials as well as intermediates in the production process are flammable, toxic, or corrosive. The production processes demand strict requirements regarding instrumentation such as those for dust control, explosion prevention, water resistance, and hygiene standards. Furthermore, due to the high added value of pharmaceuticals and the strict precision requirements for filling and packaging, production facilities must have the appropriate personnel, buildings, equipment, and testing instruments. Additionally, a real-time communication and data platform that integrates production process control and production management systems is necessary in order to achieve intelligent production throughout the entire process. http://p9.itc.cn/images01/20200813/f4b0dd9ea7274c5da86fa3b269cb6765.jpeg Diagram of the installation of an external level gauge. A pesticide manufacturing company in Inner Mongolia frequently uses liquid chlorine in its production processes. The chemical name for liquid chlorine is chlorine in liquid form; it is a yellow-green liquid with a boiling point of -34.6°C and a melting point of -103°C. It vaporizes into a gas at normal pressure, and inhalation of this gas can cause severe poisoning. Liquid chlorine is highly irritating and corrosive, and it can ignite and explode when mixed with other flammable gases under sunlight. Chlorine is a very reactive substance that can react with most elements (or compounds). Repairing the level gauges installed inside liquid chlorine storage tanks is a complicated and dangerous task; therefore, customers need level gauges that require no maintenance. In response to their needs, Shaanxi Acoustics offers external-mounted level gauges as well as customized solutions to meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical and pesticide industries for automated instruments related to liquid level and temperature monitoring. External-mounted level gauges offer significant advantages for liquid chlorine storage tanks. 1. Ultrasound technology does not require moving parts, which makes installation and maintenance relatively simpler ； 2. Compared with laser ranging technology, it has the advantages of simplicity and cost-effectiveness ； 3. The ultrasonic level gauge can perform fixed-point and continuous level measurement. 4. It enables automatic conversion of liquid level to volume for storage tanks ； 5. LCD display with backlight, capable of displaying in standard engineering units. 6. A contactless measurement method is employed, with the sonar sensor (probe) placed externally. No valves, connecting pipes, or fittings are required, and no holes need to be made; thus, the liquid chlorine in the horizontal tank does not come into contact with the sensor. Therefore, using an external-mounted level gauge for horizontal tanks holding liquid chlorine is very safe. http://p1.itc.cn/images01/20200813/ed51fb79ef0b408497e608b8c3e246b7.jpeg Applications of external-mounted level gauges in the pesticide industry http://p9.itc.cn/images01/20200813/a6559a5182b4412cbb637aa1c0e6aa20.jpeg Applications of external-mounted level gauges in the pesticide industry http://p9.itc.cn/images01/20200813/1084c3a946e04b7383170ec216e3949e.jpeg Applications of external-mounted level gauges in the pesticide industry http://p9.itc.cn/images01/20200813/eb47abeb21534ad0b757583303d23625.jpeg
