Radar technology has revolutionized level measurement in a variety of process industries since the introduction of 4-20mA loop powered, radar-based transmitters in the 1990s. Both guided wave radar (GWR) and non-contact radar have numerous advantages over older, more established level measurement technologies. 

Energy management is a hot topic in the water and wastewater industry. Monitoring energy usage and keeping operations sustainable and responsible is a high priority for water treatment plant operators. 

Modular skid systems are increasing in popularity in the process industry as a way for owner/operators, OEMs, and plant engineers to fabricate their unit operations.

Accurate flow measurement is a crucial part of many process industries, but it can be difficult to obtain. There are many well documented flow meter technologies that are essentially trying to accomplish the same thing: measure fluid flow rate.

Magnetrol International, a leading level and flow instrumentation manufacturer, has launched the Pulsar® Model R96 Non-Contact Radar transmitter for accurate, reliable level control in process applications.

Level measurement in the process industry is typically accomplished using a variety of technologies.
