Special challenges
Extreme chemical aggressiveness
Application
Alcohol storage tanks are considered potentially explosive and are therefore kept in special rooms. When the alcohol is needed, it is pumped directly to the appropriate production vessel through a ”ring main” supply system. Reliable measuring instruments are required for dependable measurement of the level in the tank and for monitoring the feed pressure in the pipeline.
