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 Endress+Hauser Levelflex FMP54 provides gas phase compensation, the ideal solution for precise level measurement in high-density gas applications:

  • Accelerate commissioning, maintenance and diagnostics with HistoROM data management concept
  • Drive time and cost savings with simple proof test concept according to SIL/WHG
  • Enhance process safety with double ceramic coupling and gas-tight feed through
  • Leverage real-time data and diagnostics capabilities with HART protocol

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 Endress+Hauser StrongSens technology with our MultiSens TMS01 delivers optimal monitoring for the safe storage of liquid ammonia:

  • Increase safety with complete tank mapping (up to 100m lengths) via a single process connection
  • Reduce maintenance costs with highly durable sensors

Benefits

A safe chemical process and environment is of the utmost importance in our society. That’s why chemical plant operators carry a special responsibility with regards to safety of their process and for the environment. To fulfill this responsibility they need a trustful partner. We support chemical plant operators as well as engineers and managers by answering any questions about how our instruments and solutions can heighten the safety of their processes and increase efficiency.
