Nitric Acid Bulk Storage Tank Radar Level Measurement

When a Midwest chemical distributor needed reliable level measurement of their client’s nitric acid storage tank, they turned to Flowline. Their client rebuilds UPS truck trailers and uses HNO3 to clean metal components. Nitric is an extremely corrosive and vaporous chemical that’s notorious for shortening the life of fluid handling equipment and instrumentation. The distributor field technician said, “I need reliable measurement for nitric, and neither ultrasonic or PTFE pressure level sensors are getting the job done. What do you have?” For these reasons, Flowline suggested our 80-GHz radar sensors that are non-contact, constructed entirely of PVDF, and whose measurement is unaffected by nasty acid vapor. Case closed. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the controller that indicates in gallons and alarms for refill. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
