Special challenges
Foam, buildup
Application
The level in the sumps around a refinery must be reliably monitored to prevent overfilling and subsequent pollution, or pump overload. Balanced pump utilization is possible thanks to a pump control rotation system integrated into the signal conditioning instrument.
Your benefit
Reliable
Measurement optimizes pump usage via pump control functions
