A conductivity sensor is used to detect whether the water phase or the organic phase is present at the measurement point in chemical processing separators. When the level of the water reaches the sensor, the controller opens a valve to discharge the water phase. Solids can build up in the water phase, coating the sensor and providing inaccurate or unresponsive measurements. The Rosemount™ 228 Toroidal Conductivity Sensor is an ideal choice for most separator applications because its electrodeless design provides an accurate and reliable measurement even as the sensor becomes coated by oils or suspended solids in the process.
The Rosemount 1058 Dual Channel Transmitter provides confident liquid analysis measurement in a wide range of industrial, municipal and commercial applications. It is a 4-wire powered device that provides multi-parameter liquid analysis for digital and analog sensors, including inputs from pH/ORP sensors, ISE, flow, current, conductivity sensors (contacting and toroidal), turbidity sensors and amperometric sensors (dissolved oxygen, chlorine and ozone).
