Many measuring requirements call for standard solutions which level and pressure specialists Vega can offer its customers with benefits. Standard products that can be applied to regular measuring tasks can be ordered quickly and easily and are also cost-effective without losing the level of technology that the company is known for. Standard products are available in all the technologies ie, level, switching and pressure, with one of the most commonly applied products being the Vegaswing vibrating level switch.
The Vegaswing S 51 is used as a universal switch in liquids. It detects when a certain level is reached and can be mounted in any position in vessels and pipelines. The instrument can be implemented as a full or empty detector, as approved overfill or as a dry run for use as a pump protection system. Typical applications are in cooling or lubricating systems for machine building.
The Vegaswing S 52 is used as a level switch for liquids in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The high surface quality in conjunction with the available process fittings ensures that optimum cleaning (CIP and SIP) can be achieved in hygienic applications.
Level measurement of an acid dosing tank at a WWTP
Level Measurement & Control
Ferric chloride and other acids are essential chemical substances in water and wastewater treatment. To control the dosing of acid solutions, an Australian wastewater treatment plant uses a special container to store, mix and add these chemicals.
