Lime silo II
LevelPoint Level
Overview
Flue gas desulphurisation needs a continuous supply of lime milk, so the lime silos have to stay stocked. Lime clings to whatever it touches and condensation forms inside the silo, so one reading alone is not enough to act on. VEGAFLEX 82 tracks the level on a cable or rod probe while VEGACAP 65 adds an independent point level switch of up to 32 m, giving continuous measurement plus a separate full or empty alarm.
