Typical Media and Applications
UWT sensors are used for organic solvents, oils, acids, alkalis, and solids like sulfur and lime. They ensure stable operation in reactors, storage tanks, and silos, contributing to safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
Measurement Tasks and Solutions
  • Large Tank Storage: Handles temperature fluctuations and hazardous substances with WHG/VLAREM certified, Ex-certified devices.
  • Storage Tanks: For toxic liquids, offering leakage monitoring and chemically resistant materials.
  • Silica Storage: For light materials with high dust load, using robust, dust-tight sensors.
  • Steam Boilers: Monitors high temperatures and pressures, unaffected by steam and condensate.
  • Reactor Tanks: For aggressive media with turbulent surfaces, using chemically resistant materials.
Conclusion
UWT provides reliable, high-quality measurement solutions tailored to the chemical industry's demanding conditions, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with global standards.
Continuous Level Measurement
For ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid, continuous level measurement is crucial in storage tanks to ensure safe and automated inventory management. The solution involves using chemically resistant materials like Hastelloy C-22 and additional internal sealing in sensors for enhanced safety.
Continuous and Point Level Measurement
In the production of PVC powder and granules, continuous and point level sensors are used in tall silos to ensure reliable inventory control. The solution features a measurement principle unaffected by dust and a robust, dust-tight construction.
Safe Level Measurement in IBC Tanks
For storing highly alkaline liquids like sodium hydroxide, a combination of radar and capacitive measurement provides precise, contactless monitoring through plastic IBC tanks, offering precision, flexibility, long service life, cost savings, and increased operational safety.
Point Level Measurement in Zinc Processing
Zinc processing involves handling abrasive materials and significant dust. The solution includes robust point level sensors like Rotonivo® and Vibranivo®, offering high operational safety, low maintenance, cost efficiency, and enhanced safety in hazardous areas.
Level Monitoring and Visualization
UWT offers various technologies for level display, from simple LED displays to advanced touch panels and web server modules, meeting modern demands with competitive pricing.
