Storage tank for wet strength agent

Overview

Wet strength agents are polymeric additives that increase the water resistance particularly of hygienic and specialty papers. These are applied in the paper machine via a size press or spraying device. Because of their high pH value, these substances are stored in double-walled GRP (glass reinforced plastic) tanks. For safety and operational reasons, multiple level measurements are needed in these tanks.
