LMT200 for High-Pressure Reactor Tank Level Control in Refineries

Specific challenges exist when using a high-pressure reactor vessel in a refinery’s gas oil hydrotreater unit. The tank is very long and hence the level measurement device employed for this application must be able to measure accurately and reliably over the full range of this long vessel. There is the length of the unit itself along with extreme operating conditions that must be considered when making decisions to achieve accurate measurement and transmission.

This application note walks through those challenges and presents the specific features and benefits of selecting ABB’s LMT200 solution to overcome those challenges.
