Best-In-Class Level
Measurement and Control Instruments by Pune Techtrol Owing To meticulously
Engineered Instruments!
Continuous upgrading of environment & safety standards, stringent
quality requirements of products and cost effective operationsare some of the
varied and complex challenges that chemical industries have to deal with.To
meet the ever-increasing demands of customers the chemical industries have to
advancetechnologically to maintain lead in the market withreliable products.
For implementation of advanced technology, one needs to have expert know-how of
the instrumentation and automation market, to choose the proper instruments
required for the level measurement of liquid and solid materials.
Pune Techtrol is the perfect companion offering acomprehensive range
of products inlevel measurements and control instrumentsas well as expert
know-how for process automation. Chemical industries need accurate and reliable
level measurement and control instruments to overcome following challenges
normally encountered in their operations.
1. Corrosive
liquids and environment
Handling of corrosive and aggressive liquids is inevitable in chemical
industries. The chemicals needed to be handled may have strong acidic and
strong alkaline properties. Very often corrosive fumes may be present in the
storage tanks/vessels. Level measuring instruments installed on such storage
tanks must be able to function accurately for long periods. Mechanisms of high
and low-level monitoring, instruments must be able to sustain corrosive
environments.Manual methods of monitoring level have a risk factor resulting
into human injury.To assure the smooth functioning of processes, it is essential
to design instruments with precision. The cutting-edge technology provided in
Pune Techtrol instruments is highly precise.Measurement Technologies:
Various “Material of Construction (MOC)” of thelevelmeasuring
instruments such as SS304/316/ PP/ PVDF, PTFE coated with SS are provided to
suit the corrosive nature of chemicals.
Direct reading level gauges use stainless steel, PVDF, Teflon as MOC,
particularly for corrosive and toxic chemicals.
2. Safety Norms and
Regulations
Safety is a critical parameter inchemical industries. Some plants in
chemical industries have inherent dangers because of the reactive chemicals
stored in the tanks/vessels. Measurement and control operations in respect of
such processes must have minimal human involvement and hence have to be
automatic or remotely controlled. Some chemicals are flammable and can cause
fire hazard. To comply with safety
requirements,Techtrolinstruments are designed to meet all the safety standards.
Pune Techtrolhas wide range of approved,verified, certified and tested products
thatmeet all the safety standards and environmental norms and regulations.
3. Materials having
Different values of viscosity, specific gravity, dielectric constant
Values of viscosity,specific gravity, dielectric constant of materials
whose levels are to be monitored are very important in design and selection of
appropriate instruments for particular operation.Techtrol manufactures level
measuring instruments based on various principles. While designing and
manufacturing the instruments the precise values of these parameters must be
available from the users. Accurate values of viscosity, specific gravity,
dielectric constants in turn ensure accuracy and reliability of the level
monitoring instruments. Measurement
Technologies:
Float type switch are based on Archimedes principle where density is
important.
In case of capacitance & radar type instruments, dielectric
constant must be known.
4. High temperature
& pressure conditions
In chemical industry there are endothermic and exothermic processes
where high temperature & pressure conditions can occur. Working in such
critical conditions, plant operators require accurate &reliable solutions
for monitoring applications.In such varying temperature and pressure and the
aggressive media, Techtrollevel measurements and control instrumentsare capable
of working satisfactorily under such conditions
Measurement Technologies:
Appropriate selection of material with sufficient mechanical strength
is ensured for the instruments subjected to conditions of high temperature and
pressure.
Direct reading level
gauges are tested for 1.5 times the operating pressure and certified by
Inspectorate of Boilers wherever necessary.
5. Presence of
fumes, dust and fire hazards
The tanks storing fly-ash haveextremely hot and dusty environment.
Also, some chemicals/ materials can generate fumes which may lead to fire
hazards in thechemical plant. When a fine dust suspended in air is ignited a
dust explosion occurs which causes a very rapid burning and can injure people.The
results of the instruments must be helpful to avoid the undesired conditions.
The level instruments provided by Pune Techtrol come with a
robustflameproof housing and are
designed to provide accurate results in extreme conditions.
Measurement Technologies:
For fuming liquids, seal pots are provided in FBG, FDG & FTG.
For hazardous applications instruments are provided with flame-proof
& ATEX certified enclosures
Non-contact type instruments based on radarprinciple have antenna made
up of PVDF material..
Selection between contact and non-contact type radar is done by taking
into consideration the presence of dust/fumes and dielectric constants of the
chemical materials.
Zener barriers are provided for isolation wherever required.
6. Improvement in Plant
Efficiency
By virtue of their accuracy and reliability Techtrol level measuring
instruments play vital role in improving operational efficiency of the plant.
Techtrol uses modern technology to meet the challenge of continuous improvement
in level measurement in turn helping the industry to improve product quality
& efficiency. Following instruments are examples of such advanced
technology.
