Solids Level Detection in Wood Gasifier Reactor
Achieve accurate measurements in the most extreme environments to ensure smooth, continuous production.
Reliable Level Measurement for Heavy Loads and Harsh Conditions
Operators face unique challenges when dealing with wood gasifier reactors. Temperatures can build to as high as 600 C (1112 F). Ashes and dust created while cooking wood chips can collect and cause caking. Heavy hydrocarbons are also generated during production, creating a sticky tar condensation that can damage some measurement devices. Operators need a robust, reliable measurement solution that can withstand high temperatures and resist damage from byproducts produced throughout the process.
