Problems with radar level gauges in underground oil tanks of sewage stripping units

2016-04-22View Original

Thread Content

The dirty oil in the underground oil tanks of the wastewater stripping units contains a small amount of acidic water, as well as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. This leads to a problem: crystallization always occurs at the outlet of the radar level gauge. Is there any way to reduce the formation of crystals, or can some other method be used as an alternative to the radar level gauge for measurement?

We are currently using the blow-type version for measuring the liquid level in sulfur liquid tanks, and it works quite well. Can your plug-in type be used in underground tanks? I have a problem: it’s definitely not possible to open the tank at the moment; would it be feasible to use just one opening? The diameter of this opening is approximately DN250

The crystals should be amine salt crystals; amine salts crystallize at temperatures below 85 degrees. The radar should use an electrically heated type; heating the antenna area to around 90 degrees will prevent crystallization from occurring.

Is it equivalent to adding some kind of steam heating to the radar?~~

Okay~~ Let’s discuss this with our technicians to see what they suggest. Thank you so much; I’ve been troubled by this for a long time
