Improve Processes in Sewage Treatment Plants with VEGA Sensors

This province Walloon Brabant in the heart of Belgium has just under 410,000 inhabitants distributed among 27 municipalities. Wastewater disposal in this rural area is the responsibility of InBW (Intercommunale du Brabant Wallon), who is responsible for a total of 36 sewage treatment plants. This already reveals the first challenge: the large distances between the various plants. However, measurement in a sewage treatment plant involves further hurdles – such as vibration, condensation, dust, dirt and sludge, digester gases and measuring points that are difficult to access.

Radiometric Measurement Solutions for the Petrochemical Industry

In order to produce a variety of plastics and polymers, petrochemistry deals with the synthesis of hydrocarbon compounds, derived from the refining of crude oil and/or processing of natural gas. During the production of polymers, extreme conditions can occur, such as high-pressure and high-temperature. Thus, conventional density, level and level-switch measurement solutions can often not […]

 Innovative Solutions for the Animal Feed Industry

When equipping a Chilean plant for animal feed production with compatible level measurement technology, the focus was on high measurement reliability and flexible installation options. Modern guided radar technology was installed within several boilers, which is intended to ensure a continuous production process, unaffected by changing process conditions. Unwanted downtimes could thus be reliably prevented. The installed UWT devices with special high-quality booms offered the operator suitable and economical solutions.

Capacitance Point Level Detection in Liquid Naphthalene

Capacitance point level detection in liquid naphthalene A point level measurement to avoid overfilling or emptying is required in almost all process containers today. In the chemical industry in particular, sensors are usually exposed to aggressive, adhesive or caustic materials. The measurement technology has to deal with high temperatures, varying DK values and viscosity quickly and reliably. In order to meet these conditions in practice with a clever solution, system planners are increasingly using the capacitive rod probes. The use of the capacitive RFnivo® in liquid naphthalene in a plant in India is explained in more detail below. Convinced of the measurement technology from the Allgäu for years, a UWT solution was out of the question for the project planner.
