Keeping a power generation plant running smoothly requires reliable measurement solutions. Level measurement can present challenges and raise escalating maintenance needs – especially in applications where there are rapid level changes, or where a solidifying mixture makes traditional methods inadequate.
VEGAPULS X6 provides reliable level measurement in monitoring an ash sump in a power generation plant.
One of VEGA’s loyal customers was facing such a situation, struggling with level measurement in its ash sump. The existing instrument, while effective, was damaged, due to the harsh environment and communication gaps between teams during maintenance activities.
VEGA's External Sales Engineer, Reino Aspesberger, understood the need for a maintenance-free solution. The VEGAPULS 6X, with its narrow beam angle, offered the solution.
The VEGAPULS 6X is built to last. It does not come into contact with the liquid, so the risk of damage from the abrasive ash mixture and maintenance activities is eliminated.
It provides a fast response. In this application, rapid fill and drain cycles and limited space were specific considerations and the VEGAPULS 6X provides the quick response time and narrow beam angle needed.
The unit’s compact space-saving design enables an easy fit, without any obstructions to pipes or grid.
It also incorporates advanced cybersecurity features. VEGA takes data security seriously and top-notch cybersecurity is built into its instruments.
As well as reducing maintenance demands, VEGA radar sensors are known for their easy calibration and consistent, reliable readings, which worked especially well in the ash sump as it fills and drains in minutes. The VEGAPULS 6X is versatile and adaptable, with a plastic horn antenna and mounting strap for easy installation.
VEGA aims to go beyond being a supplier, to establish close connections with its customers and deliver value in outstanding post-sales support. The team is committed to identifying the ideal solution for each need.
