A combination of on-site product tests and advanced digital communication technology was sufficient to secure instrumentation specialist, Endress+Hauser, a large order for level-radar devices from Bateman, acting on behalf of PMR (Precious Metals Refinery) Rustenburg.
An ongoing expansion project at PMR Rustenburg, which is due for completion towards the end of 2004, required Batemen to source level measurement instruments. As Endress+Hauser has for many years been the preferred supplier at PMR Rustenburg, the company was given the opportunity to test its level radar device - Micropilot M - in conjunction with the cutting edge technology of the Foundation Fieldbus digital communication protocol.
Based on the successful results of the installed demo on a GLV (glass lined vessel) reactor, Bateman placed an order for a total of 87 Micropilot M FMR 245, PFA-lined radar devices. "We were awarded this order based on the outstanding test results, as well as the clear advantages of the chemically resistant PFA-coated antenna. We were also the only instrumentation company capable of incorporating Foundation Fieldbus into the solution," expands Grant Joyce, marketing manager, Endress+Hauser.
The Micropilot M is used for continuous, non-contact measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries. The measurement is not affected by changing media, temperature changes, gas blankets or vapours. The FMR 245 is highly resistant and easy to clean.
Two-wire technology reduces wiring costs and allows easy implementation into the existing systems, also presenting an alternative to differential pressure, floats and displacers. After mounting, the housing can be turned 350° in order to simplify access to the display and the terminal compartment.
A menu-driven alphanumeric display simplifies on-site operation. Remote commissioning, including documentation of the measuring point and in-depth analysis functions, is supported via the ToF Tool - the graphical operating software for Endress+Hauser time-of-flight systems.
