A Reliable Natural Gas Supply

VEGAPULS 6X delivers reliable and accurate measurement data despite the poor reflective properties of liquid gas.
Natural gas production in the United States has been steadily increasing for almost a decade. This has been made possible by oil and gas companies that extract valuable hydrocarbons trapped deep underground. Once a well is sunk and made ready for production, companies such as Blue Racer Midstream process the unfiltered natural gas flowing from the well into usable products for refineries. VEGA measuring instruments support this process.

Ultrasonic vs Radar Level Technology in the Water Industry

Have you ever wondered why some competitors are pushing radar in the water industry when ultrasonic level has been successful for decades?

Consider this: Very little has changed over the years in the water and waste water processes. Furthermore, it is not like ultrasonic-based instruments have been lacking in performance when used in these processes and that finally radar is here to fill the gap. So, why use a technology that, for all practical purposes, is still in its infancy when comparing its functionality to ultrasonic technology?

OPTIBAR 5060 eDP: Level, Density, and DP Measurement Without Capillaries

With OPTIBAR 5060 eDP, KROHNE adds an electronic differential pressure (eDP) version to the OPTIBAR family. It aims at level, density and differential pressure applications within closed vessels as well as density compensated level measurement in open tanks.
Compared to classic DP installations with diaphragm seal and capillaries, OPTIBAR 5060 eDP provides a cost-efficient connection to and installation on the vessel: it requires smaller process connections, and the connection between taps is realized via an electronic signal cable instead of oil filled capillaries.

Pharmaceutical Company Achieves Accurate and Hygienic Measurement

The Rosemount 1408H is able to handle internal obstructions such as agitators and turbulent surfaces, and provide reliable and accurate level measurement.
The factory engages in the production of pharmaceutical feedstocks such as saline water and glucose, which is the core activity at the pharmaceutical plant. The facility has a variety of tanks including storage tanks, mixing tanks, intermediate reaction tanks and reaction kettles. It is critical for the customer to maintain accurate and hygienic continuous level measurement of the liquid level inside the tanks within the production process.
