Process data
Measuring task
Level measurement
Measuring point
Reactor
Measuring range up to
1.2 m
Medium
Aluminium powder suspension
Process temperature
0 … +130 °C
Process pressure
0 … +0.3 bar
Special challenges
Low dielectric constant, confined spaces, strong turbulence on the product surface, condensation
Application
Aluminium powder suspension is an intermediate for titanium sponge production. In the reactor, vanadium oxide trichloride is removed from the aluminium powder suspension. When the aluminium powder suspension is fed into the reactor, strong turbulence arises on the product surface. To optimize the process, the level in the reactor must be accurately measured and monitored.
