Liquid level measurement in heavy fuel oil storage tanks

2015-06-01View Original

Thread Content

There is a heavy fuel oil storage tank with a diameter of ~30m and a height of ~15m, and its level needs to be measured; it is not used for trade measurement purposes. What level gauge do you all think is suitable?

The radar should work; an electrically heated type is required. Because there is heating at the bottom of your oil tank.

Thank you. The information is incomplete at the moment; does 180 heavy oil need to be heated?

A contactless high-frequency radar level gauge can solve this problem.

It is recommended to use contactless instruments; radar is the best option, with Emerson radar being suggested

Use radar, no explanations needed, manufacturer’s guarantee – message me privately!

We can use our high-frequency radar with explosion protection; if needed, I’m available on the platform

Our factory uses radar models from Cologne for fuel oil; it’s been almost 20 years since they were installed, and there has been little to no maintenance required – the readings are normal.

I am an engineer from Cologne; thank you for your support of my work.
