Something’s in the Water: Tackle Your PFAS Analysis

Sep 11 2018

Level measurement in the petrochemical industry refers to the critical process of monitoring and controlling the height of liquids, gases, and even solids within various system containers, such as storage tanks, vessels, and pipelines. This practice is essential for operational safety, efficiency, and accuracy during the extraction, refinement, and distribution phases of petrochemical products.

Operators employ diverse technologies for level measurement, ranging from simple float-based indicators to sophisticated ultrasonic, radar, or laser transmitters. These instruments must provide precise readings to prevent overflow or underfill, ensuring compliance with safety protocols, supporting inventory management, and contributing to the environmental protection measures. The complexity of the materials handled, including their pressure, temperature, and chemical properties, often necessitates specialized equipment resistant to harsh conditions and capable of delivering reliable data for optimal process control.
