Lime production - Empty detection in a water treatment tank (water)

The Challenge

A large multinational mining and construction company from Argentina required a reliable empty and full level detection for its reverse osmosis system in a water treatment plant. The task was to detect the minimum and maximum water levels to prevent the tank from running dry or overflowing the 4-meter-high containers.

Our Solution

The best solution for this case was the Vibranivo VN 7120 vibration limit switch for liquids. The switch has an installation length of 64 mm, is made of stainless steel 316L with a surface roughness of 3.2 µm, and features a temperature dissipation system up to 150 °C. Thanks to the IO-Link electronics, the sensor can be easily and individually configured according to the specific application.
