A fertilizer and pesticide supplier wanted their storage tanks to be accurately measured, so they turned to Flowline. The company blends and supplies hundreds of farmers across the Central Valley with crop nutrition and protection chemicals. Their automated production facility outputs orders for truck fulfillment in bulk, IBC, drum, or pale size deliveries. Due to vapor, the operators experienced intermittent measurement on their tall 40′ bulk tanks from ultrasonic level sensors and its attenuating effect on acoustic signals. 

Because of this, Flowline advised them to use pulse radar sensors that are unaffected by vapor or foam. The radar sensors provide the PLC with continuous level data, which in turn monitor the tanks and control the filling, emptying, and alarms. Contact Us for technical assistance in choosing the best Flowline sensor for your application.
