How Proper Level Instrumentation Can Alleviate Foam Headaches

Proper Level Instrumentation for Foam

Foam is at times present in liquid tanks used in the chemical, manufacturing, food and beverage, life sciences, and other process industries. Because of foam's fluid nature, there is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" level measurement solution. It's essential to understand the foam's characteristics and understand what form of measurement is needed. The foam may develop in a tank for several reasons, such as introducing air or gas into the liquid or the activity of agitators/mixing blades. Regardless of the source, caution is required when selecting a level measurement technology to avoid potentially costly errors. 

Magnetrol, a world-leading manufacturer of level instrumentation, authored a white paper that aims to go through the challenges that foam presents and overcome them by recommending proper instrumentation.

The Tank Mount Series Weighing Equipment by BLH Nobel

Tank Mount Series Weighing Equipment by BLH Nobel

BLH Nobel has launched its new Tank Mount Series of weighing equipment for applications for process weighing. The new series comprises three fully standardized weight modules with off-the-shelf availability in capacities of up to 200 tons and numerous appropriate junction boxes and instruments. It is an integrated solution for accurate and repeatable weighing of materials for various applications, such as large silos, vessels, small storage containers, and clean-in-place batching processes. 

Known for its customizable, high-precision, smart weighing solutions, BLH Nobel is a well-established pioneer in process weighing. The Tank Mount Series offers a cost-effective solution for end-users as well as system integrators and OEMs, consisting of two low and one high-capacity weight modules with mV/V output: 

  • With capacities of up to 5 ton/ton, the TankMount Metric Weight Module and its imperial equivalent EconoMount Weight Module are both well suited for general industrial applications requiring retrofitting existing structures or turning hoppers into scales. Weight modules are rated IP 67 or better as standard, with optional ATEX, FM, NEMA4, OIML, and NTEP, Class III, and IIIL approved versions available. 
  • With the KDH5 Weight Module, the Tank Mount Series covers an increased capacity of up to 200 tons at an accuracy level of 0.075 percent of the Rated Performance. Its lightweight and durable mechanical architecture feature an integrated tilting guard for fast installation. The Weight Module is suitable for heavy-silo weighing applications or weight bridges with ATEX, IECEx or FM certified versions at no additional cost. Higher capacities and EN 1090-compliant versions are also available. 

BLH Nobel provides a range of appropriate junction boxes and equipment to offer full weighing solutions in a single-stop store. For example, the WIN5 weight indicator is well suited for simple applications that can benefit from its stainless steel enclosure, the high-contrast 6-digit LED display, and the working pushbuttons supporting tare weight zero settings for empty vessels. The G5 DIN Rail Mount meets advanced weighing and control equipment specifications. It is available as a DIN rail edition with an integrated monitor and functional keypad, simple navigation, and direct control at the production facility. The G5 instrument family's modular hardware supports a wide range of communication options via Ethernet, RS485, USB, Fieldbus, and analog output-with maximum versatility.
