Interface and Multiphase Level Measurement

Radiometric measurements from Berthold. The radiometric measurement systems from Berthold are used to localize the interface layer between two phases. These systems are even used in more complex processes to measure the density profile and thereby picturing the heights of the different product layers inside the vessel. In this way the characteristic of the emulsion layer can be monitored as well. The measurements are primarily applied in chemical plants and in the oil & ...

Interface measurement in desalters

Interface measurements in desalters are often regarded as not being very critical, even though every drop of oil, to be refined, passes through the desalter. As refineries try to maximize their margins, so-called opportunity crudes are often used. These crude oils generally contain increased levels of sulphur, oil sands, bitumen, heavy oils and oils with high TAN. This can lead to problems with the proper operation of the desalter. In addition, refineries are increasingly confronted ...

LB 350 - Online Moisture Analyzer

Radiometric moisture analyser for representative and robust measurements on bulk material. The LB 350 is a moisture measurement system for real-time determination of the moisture content of a wide variety of different bulk materials such as: * Coke * Sinter mixture * Ore * Sand * Building material

LB 476 Level+ the solution for the most challenging processes

The LB 476 Level+ system adds that little extra to radiometric level measurements, which makes it the perfect system for challenging processes. By using the outstanding implemented compensation functions, level measurement falsifications, e. g. due to gas density fluctuations or due to product build-ups, belong to the past. Compared to the classic radiometric level measurement, LB 476 Level+ enables the storage of two calibration curves and, beyond, the simultaneous monitoring ...

Detector with state-of-the-art SiPM technology for integration in Multiphase Flow Measurement systems.

Level control in coking units

You want to improve the utilization of the drum capacity? Due to the conditions in the coke drum, a level measurement is a very challenging task. Where other measuring technologies tend to fail or end up being extremely unreliable, Berthold‘s radiometric level technology is ideal for monitoring the coke level due to its non-intrusive nature. With Berthold’s solution for delayed coker units operators have a high repeatable and long-term stable measurement to increase the throughput ...

Measurement solutions for the Petrochemical industry

In order to produce a variety of plastics and polymers, petro-chemistry deals with the synthesis of hydrocarbon compounds, derived from the refining of crude oil and/or processing of natural gas. During the production of polymers, extreme conditions can occur, such as high-pressure and high-temperature. Thus, conventional density, level and level-switch measurement  In the atmospheric distillation process as well as in vacuum distillation, crude oil is separated into fractions ...

Measuring the level of tower bottoms

The level measurement in the bottom of any distillation column is a critical measurement task in refineries. Tower internals damage due to the failure of level control technologies for residual bottoms is one of the most common issues in refineries. However, this is not the only way that reliable bottoms level measurements can save costs and increase efficiency in the refining process. In the atmospheric distillation process as well as in vacuum distillation, crude oil is separated ...

Optimal monitoring of separation processes

Monitoring interfaces or multiple layers in process vessels poses some challenges for the measurement technologies. Where other measuring methods fail and cannot withstand extreme process conditions, radiometric measuring systems can provide reliable results. Berthold’s radiometric measurement systems are used to monitor interfaces or multiple layers in process vessels. Thereby, not only the interfaces between two phases can be localized, but also the measurement of density ...
