Level Measurement Solutions for Reactors & Mixing Tanks
Accurate and reliable level measurement in challenging conditions
Optimized Level Control and Quality Assurance
A reactor or mixing tank is often at the heart of the process where chemicals are made, requiring reliable and accurate level measurement to ensure high quality, control and consistency of product. In reactor vessels, conditions can be harsh with quickly changing levels, turbulence, changing temperatures and viscous or corrosive media. With the reactor often fitted with agitators, non-contacting radar combined with point level detection technology is ideal for minimal intrusion into the vessel, avoiding obstructions.
Radar level transmitters using different frequencies are needed to solve different process challenges within reactors and mixing tanks. Higher frequency level transmitters such as the 80GHz Rosemount 3408 are suitable for small process fittings and short measuring ranges, while the mid frequency of 26 GHz Rosemount 5408 better suits the more challenging process conditions including presence of vapor and foam.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount™ 5408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter uses enhanced technology and Human Centered Design to deliver accurate, reliable measurements on both liquid and solid materials. Using two-wire FMCW and Smart Echo Supervision technologies, the Rosemount 5408 deploys a continuous echo to maximize radar signal strength and produce a more robust and reliable measurement. Delivering ease-of-use at every touch point, the Rosemount 5408 uses an intuitive software interface to guide the operator through installation, commissioning, proof-testing and maintenance. Powerful onboard diagnostics suite proactively monitors transmitter health and alerts if there is an issue. Safety certified to IEC 61508 for SIL 2 applications, the Rosemount 5408:SIS reduces cost of risk, increases efficiency and protects people and the environment.
- 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.
- Low 12V dc lift-off voltage
- Immune to intermittent power loss
