Level Measurement Solutions for Distillation Column Reboilers
Continuous and point level measurement and control solutions for the petrochemical industry
Eliminate Overheating and Optimize Efficiency with Reliable Level Sensors
Issues with heat exchangers are the second most common reason for slowdown / shutdown in the refining industry. Accurate control of the liquid level in the heat exchanger ensures energy efficient operation of the distillation column with the right quality at the top of the column
Reliable level measurement in important to ensure the heating coils are always covered with liquid, to prevent any overheating incidents. Guided wave radars is the recommended solution to have full control of your level measurement in the reboiler. This continuous level measurement technology can be combined with with point level switches for high and low level alarm.
