When a Georgia oil reclamation company needed reliable level measurement of their storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm transports used cooking oil from restaurants, stadiums, universities and commercial kitchens to their processing plant where they recycle oil. During recycling, the oil is heated, filtered and separated into grease, water and solids. The resulting grease is further heated, spun to remove any residual solids and pumped into storage tanks awaiting resale. There the plant operator said that previous ultrasonic level sensors became intermittent during and after pump transfer due to foam or temperature induced vapor, and they needed reliable level measurement. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our 80-GHz radar sensors that are unaffected by foam or vapor. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC which monitors the tanks and controls the fill process. Flowline is reliable level measurement. |
