Application of capacitive level gauges in small nitrogen fertilizer plants
Small nitrogen fertilizer plants mainly produce urea, ammonium bicarbonate and other common agricultural fertilizers, involving gasification, carbonization, ammonia recovery, wastewater treatment and other complex production processes. The production environment features corrosive ammonia liquid, circulating desulfurization solution, high humidity, flammable and explosive ammonia gas, as well as medium adhesion and foam interference. Traditional level measuring instruments such as float level gauges and ultrasonic level gauges are prone to failure, stuck movement and inaccurate readings under such harsh working conditions
How to select a probe for a capacitive level gauge
Probe selection for capacitive level gauges should consider medium type, anti-corrosion materials, measuring range, temperature and pressure resistance, special medium interference and actual installation methods to match proper probe styles and guarantee stable measurement.
Application scenarios of capacitive level gauges
Capacitive level gauges detect liquid, paste, powder and granular materials by capacitance variation, featuring corrosion resistance, wide temperature and pressure adaptability, explosion-proof options and compact structure. Their main application scenarios are classified by industry as follows.
Capacitive level gauges can measure highly corrosive media in operating conditions.
Capacitive level gauges are indeed capable of measuring highly corrosive media, relying on protective coating materials for anti-corrosion performance.
What to do if a capacitive level gauge malfunctions?
Safety Operation Reminders
Cut off the power supply before disassembling the probe for cleaning or maintenance.
For storage tanks containing flammable, corrosive or high-temperature media, isolate the process pipeline, empty the tank and fully ventilate before any maintenance work.
Do not disassemble explosion-proof level gauges in hazardous areas without cutting off power.
