Measuring the level and high-level switch in the pulp digester

Measuring the level and high-level switch in the cooking process

The contactless measurement installed on the outside of the digester is not affected or influenced by the severe conditions prevailing inside. This allows reliable control of the digester filling and optimized loading of the digester. A high level switch providing additional process safety.

Characteristics

Non-contacting level measurement using radiometric technology
Detectors and sources are mounted on the outside of the tank
Accurate and repeatable measurement
SIL2 / SIL3 certification for continuous level measurement and level switch available

SIL certified option

The SENSseries LB 480 detectors are certified for use in SIL2 applications. Even SIL3 is achieved with homogenous redundancy. The certificate covers all measurement applications, from high level or low level alarms to continuous level measurement. Thus safe operation of critical pulp and paper processes is guaranteed.
