Radar level sensor for fly ash silo level or ash bunker level | Application Case

26G radar level sensors have applications in many industries.
Water conservancy, chemical industry, crude oil, etc.,
Fly ash is also one of the typical representatives.

Burning coal produces huge quantities of ash.
Fly ash is the main solid waste of coal-fired power plants.

Measuring fly ash,
It has the measurement characteristics of large range, strong dust, low dielectric constant, high floatability, and irregularity.

Case details:
The customer’s power plant has been plagued by the problem of measuring fly ash silos.
The height of the fly ash silo is 8 meters.
Fly ash is transported into the tank through the belt conveyor, Water will be sprayed into fly ash during transportation.
When the material level reaches the certain height, The vehicles below began to be loaded and transported away.
The measuring medium contains water and fly ash.

For the problems that have occurred in the measurement of fly ash.
The engineer recommends that the customer use the 26G high frequency Radar level meter for Solid particles Powder, 905 model.
It has high frequency (strong penetration), small emission angle (concentrated signal), large range (maximum 70 meters),
Dustproof (horn antenna plus dust cover or blowing), non-contact measurement and other characteristics,
So as to ensure the accuracy and stability of the fly ash measurement.

After installation,
Due to the false signal generated by the installation position on the top of the tank,
The engineer adjusts the flange
And the false echo editing in the radar level transmitter service menu,
After shielding the false echo, the measurement curve shows normal.
