Ensure Safe and Reliable Measurements on Marine Tanks Carrying Product and Chemical

Whether it's a product or chemical tanker, the solution used for measuring levels in the tanks requires the ability to handle the physical and chemical properties of the liquid, and most importantly, to do so with safe and reliable technology. Any successful radar technology needs to be able to pick up and process very weak signals reflected from the liquid. The liquids carried by marine tankers have different physical and chemical properties, making them more or less reflective depending on their dielectric constant, which places a high demand on any radar.

Understanding the importance of having a digital broad bandwidth Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar in combination with a parabolic antenna is crucial. Digital signal treatment implies an undistorted signal chain, while the broad bandwidth FMCW technology safeguards precision and temperature stability. The parabolic antenna design has proven to be the best-suited technology for robust and reliable marine level gauging.
