Level Measurement in Salt Bins for Coal-Fired Power Plants
Accurately measure stored salt levels to ensure continuous supply for boiler feedwater.
Continuous Material Monitoring with Radar and Point Level Technologies
Salt is used as part of the water demineralization process for boiler feedwater. Salt is stored in bins, and a continuous supply must be readily available at all times. Accurate measurement of salt in storage bins can be challenging due to its heavy, abrasive, and corrosive qualities.

The Rosemount™ 5408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter uses enhanced technology and Human Centered Design to deliver accurate, reliable measurements on both liquid and solid materials. Using two-wire FMCW and Smart Echo Supervision technologies, the Rosemount 5408 deploys a continuous echo to maximize radar signal strength and produce a more robust and reliable measurement. Delivering ease-of-use at every touch point, the Rosemount 5408 uses an intuitive software interface to guide the operator through installation, commissioning, proof-testing and maintenance. Powerful onboard diagnostics suite proactively monitors transmitter health and alerts if there is an issue. Safety certified to IEC 61508 for SIL 2 applications, the Rosemount 5408:SIS reduces cost of risk, increases efficiency and protects people and the environment.
- 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.
- Low 12V dc lift-off voltage
- Immune to intermittent power loss
