Result

  • Secure and reliable operation under extreme conditions with accurate measurement

The challenges

Reliably measuring the lime milk level increases the availability of the hydro cyclone process. It poses four main application challenges

  • Process temperature of 60 °C with vapour & heavy condensation

  • Narrow installation: Hydro cyclone tank has agitator and few vertical blades

  • Small measuring range of 2m

  • Turbulence surface

Solution

W-band 80GHz FMCW radar technology offers maximum reliability due to improved algorithms and small beam angle. It also possesses the smart sensor functionality Heartbeat Technology.
