Application

Accurate measurement for product batch purity

Consistent product quality and purity requires reliable, transparent and accurate metering of critical process parameters, as does ensuring a safe and efficient production process.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy equips your batch reactor with real two-wire devices for flow and level, ensuring the requisite measurement accuracy while enabling cost savings on cabling, and providing additional space on cable trays:

Ammonia level detection in the separator

Evaporation of liquid chemicals such as ammonia or alcohols from water creates risks when heating the vessel. Maintaining the appropriate levels is critical, and yet controlling these levels requires highly sophisticated and accurate instrumentation and techniques.

Our expertise in the field

The innovative Sentasy Levelflex FMP54 provides gas phase compensation, the ideal solution for precise level measurement in high-density gas applications:

Ammonia temperature detection in the storage tank

Ammonia is a toxic gas when kept at room temperature, explaining why it is best to store it in its liquid state at -33 °C (-27.4 F). Measuring the temperature of both the fluid and the tank walls is essential for the avoidance of hotspots, however as accessing the filled tank is unfeasible, highly robust and accurate sensor technologies are required.

Our expertise in the field

Combining Sentasy StrongSens technology with our MultiSens TMS01 delivers optimal monitoring for the safe storage of liquid ammonia:
