For liquid level measurement in challenging process operations, displacer level transmitter technology is a safe, reliable solution.

One of the most trusted devices for continuous liquid level measurement remains the displacer level transmitter.

Technologies historically used for boiler and steam drum level control rely on inference or buoyancy to determine the level. This in itself leaves them vulnerable to process dynamics (specific gravity, pressure, temperature, etc.) or limits their ability to precisely manage the level for improved fuel economy.

In a recent article for Industrial Products Process and Technology Magazine (IPP&T), Magnetrol® Global Product Manager Bob Botwinski discusses how guided wave radar (GWR) and non-contact radar can work together to provide reliable level measurement.

Guided wave radar technology (GWR) has emerged as a level measurement staple in many industries around the world. Since its introduction in the late 1990s, users of GWR have discovered that it has unique characteristics that make it well suited for difficult level control challenges

Nearly any unit operation in the process industry can be fabricated as a self-contained, modular skid system. Modular fabrication has increasingly become a viable alternative to field construction for owner/operators, OEMs and plant engineers. This post discusses level and flow instrumentation for liquid gravity separator skids and is part of an occasional Magnetrol® blog series on modular skid systems.
