Level Measurement Solutions for Reactors & Mixing Tanks
Accurate and reliable level measurement in challenging conditions
Optimized Level Control and Quality Assurance
A reactor or mixing tank is often at the heart of the process where chemicals are made, requiring reliable and accurate level measurement to ensure high quality, control and consistency. In reactors, the conditions can be harsh with quickly changing levels, turbulence, changing temperatures and viscous or corrosive media. With the reactor often fitted with agitators, non-contacting radar combined with point level detections are ideal for minimal intrusion into the vessel.
Radar transmitters using different frequencies are needed to solve different process challenges for reactors and mixing tanks. Higher frequency level transmitters such as the 80GHz Rosemount 3408 are suitable for small process fittings and short measuring ranges, while the mid frequency of 26 GHz Rosemount 5408 better suits challenging process conditions like vapor and foam.

Product Solutions
The new Rosemount™ 2140 is the world's first wired HART® vibrating fork level detector for applications including overfill prevention, high and low level alarms, and pump protection. Providing reliable level detection of all liquids as well as sediments, the Rosemount 2140 offers greater ease-of-use and flexibility with smart diagnostics that continuously monitor electronic and mechanical device health, and a fully integrated remote proof-testing capability, helping to increase safety and efficiency of both plant and workers. The Rosemount 2140:SIS is certified to IEC 61508 (SIL 2) for safety-critical applications.
- World's only wired HART vibrating fork level detector.
- Dry/wet switching optimized for many media types. Includes wet sand settings for managing tank and separator efficiency.
- Dry/wet switching reliability is maximized even when the media properties are unknown. Especially important in small tanks and pipes where levels may rapidly change.
The Rosemount 3408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter is a versatile FMCW radar, which features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, and is suitable for level measurement and overfill prevention in many industries, including chemical. Smart features save time and maximize efficiency for trouble-free operations, simplifying commissioning, operation and testing. Smart diagnostics help you proactively plan maintenance and optional Bluetooth® connectivity allows convenient configuration and maintenance. Manual or automatic verification at scheduled intervals can be conducted from the control room at any time without process interruptions. Perform proof-testing remotely and in-situ with onboard functionality. NAMUR type tested and third party certified to IEC61508 for use in safety critical applications.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Lens antenna available for very small process fittings (3/4") and with optional bracket mount
- All PTFE wetted parts allow for use in harsh conditions, such as corrosive medias
The Rosemount 2120 Level Switch provides easy to install, reliable level detection and control. 3
rdparty IEC61508 (SIL2) safety and hygienic certification with choice of outputs makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. It has no moving parts, needs no calibration and is virtually unaffected by process conditions. Adjustable switching delay prevents false switching in turbulent applications. Understand what is going on with your process- the visible heartbeat LED provides device status and health, and magnetic test point provides an easy-to-use functional test.
- Magnetic test point makes testing of the Rosemount 2120 easy
- Can be operated using the sun or battery as a power source with the 12Vdc option
- Fast drip fork design gives a quicker response time, especially with viscous liquids
