Level Measurement Solutions for Distillation Column Side Draw Tray
Continuous and point level measurement and control solutions for the refining industry
Accurate Level Measurement Sensors in Changing Conditions
Distillation columns allow separation of fluid mixtures based on their boiling points. As vapors rise through the column, different components will condense at different temperatures and accumulate for withdrawal. Distillation columns will have a wide range of temperatures throughout. Fluids, especially at the lower end can be dirty and cause coating and plugging of equipment. Overfill is a risk especially during plant start-up and before equilibrium is reached between the liquid and gas flow. If an overfill occurs, process media typically ends up in the flare system for hydrocarbons with the risk of a dangerous incident / explosion. Some users may prefer to measure the level directly in the tower while others may prefer the serviceability of cages with valves. If direct measurements are required, DP level is an appropriate solution. If bypass chamber is used, Guided Wave Radar together with a High-level alarm with point level measurement is the recommended solution.

The Rosemount 1208 Series provides accurate and reliable level measurement and open channel flow calculations. The radar level transmitter has been designed to solve challenges in water and wastewater, utilities and basic chemical applications. The Rosemount 1208 uses continuous non-contacting radar technology and features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, in a compact PVDF housing with drinking water and food grade approvals. Its encapsulated design also withstands outdoor conditions and is fully submersible over extended periods of time. The Rosemount 1208 Series communicates via Bluetooth® wireless technology, 4-20 mA HART® or IO-link and has a broad range of mounting accessories, making it easily integrate into both new and existing systems.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Compact and robust design to withstand harsh environments, designed for outdoor conditions, submersion and hazardous location installations
- Simple configuration over your tablet/mobile device via Bluetooth® wireless technology
