Energy
The energy sector spans diverse generation methods from conventional thermal to renewable sources including wind, solar, and hydrogen. Reliable level and pressure measurement ensures safe operation and optimal efficiency across all generation types.
Overview
The energy sector spans diverse generation methods including conventional thermal power, hydroelectric, wind, solar, biomass, and emerging hydrogen technologies. Each energy source presents unique instrumentation challenges, from high-pressure steam systems in thermal plants to corrosive environments in biogas facilities. Reliable level and pressure measurement ensures safe operation, regulatory compliance, and optimal efficiency across all generation types. As the global energy mix shifts toward renewable sources, instrumentation must adapt to new process requirements while maintaining the precision and reliability that power generation demands.

Absorber
Energy
The lime milk sprayed into the flue gas desulphurization system collects at the bottom of the absorber. The level has to be monitored to ensure that the absorber pumps do not run dry.
Absorber pump
Energy
Before the flue gas enters the absorber (scrubbing tower), its pollutant content (sulphur) is measured. If the degree of pollution of the flue gas requires it, the absorber pumps are switched on and a...
Adipic acid mixing tank
Energy
Adding adipic acid to the lime milk increases the effectiveness of the desulfurization process in the absorber. This is done by mixing adipic powder with water in the mixing tank. This acid lowers ope...
Alkaline electrolyser (AEL)
Energy
Level measurement with guided radar for regulating the electrolyte level and the water intake Pressure sensor for pressure monitoring in an electrolyte tank Differential pressure measurement between t...
Ammonia feed tank
Energy
To protect the environment, the nitrogen oxide content in the flue gas is reduced as much as possible. This is accomplished by adding air and ammonia to the flue gas. Through a chemical reaction, the...
Belt transfer station
Energy
In a coal power plant, either hard coal or brown coal is burned as the main fuel source. The coal is transported on conveyor belts to the furnace. To avoid backup or overfilling at the belt transfer s...
Buffer silo for raw materials in the ethanol plant
Energy
In order to always have enough material available for downstream processes in the ethanol plant, the crushed raw materials are held ready to use in buffer silos. The ground-up grain ‘flour’ for the pr...
Buffer tank for potash lye
Energy
Continuous level measurement with radar in the buffer tank for potash lye.
Coal stockpile
Energy
After being unloaded from rail cars or ships, the coal is stored in stockpiles. Here, reliable measuring systems that function properly in any kind of weather are essential for level monitoring and be...
