Level Measurement Solutions for Fractionator Column Bottom and Trays
Optimize Fractionator Operations with Radar Level Measurement Technology
Cost-effective Operation and Efficient Hydrocarbon Separation
Fractionator columns require the highest possible product throughput for cost-effective operation and efficient hydrocarbon separation. These columns can face challenges, such as build-up, when handling hydrocarbons at high temperatures and pressures. With this application, users have the option to measure levels either directly in the tower or via a bypass chamber. Direct measurements, typically using differential pressure level solutions, are suitable for precise level detection but may pose potential leakage risks. Conversely, using a bypass chamber with guided wave radar is considered best practice for its reliability and ease of serviceability. Each method has its advantages, and the choice depends on specific operational needs and maintenance preferences.
Rosemount Level Measurement Technology offers advanced monitoring and isolation technologies, ensuring reliable measurements and addressing these challenges effectively.
