Overview
Fine and bulk chemicals span large volumes of acidic, alkaline and organic concentration control. From reactor monitoring through absorption-tower metering to intermediate dosing tanks, accurate online density / concentration data is essential. Media are often highly corrosive, flammable or toxic — strict intrinsic-safety, wetted material and sealing requirements apply.
Typical challenges
- Aggressive media (HNO₃, HCl, HF) need specialty wetted materials (Hastelloy C-276, tantalum, PFA)
- Hazardous-area certifications: ATEX / IECEx, Ex d or Ex ia
- Wide reaction temperature swings demand auto-compensation
- Batch production calls for rapid model switching
