VEGA Level Measurement Solutions For the Oil & Gas Industry

In the Oil & Gas industry, mud is used as a coolant and for insulating bore holes. It is critical part of the production process when opening up new oil & gas deposits. The mud mixture is kept in storage tanks on the drilling platform. It is critical to ensure level measurement of the mud storage tank is accurate and reliable as any failures due to low level or high level extremes may cause down time costing thousands of pounds.

Level Measurement In Liquids

VEGAFLEX 61 offers cost-effective, reliable level measurement in mud storage tanks. Its robustness against buildup and foam as well as extremely simple setup ensure low maintenance requirements and high plant availability.

If strong foam generation can be excluded, the radar sensor VEGAPULS 63 is an interesting alternative to VEGAFLEX 61. The non contact measuring technique guarantees precise, wear-free measurement of the level.

Level detection with VEGACAP 64

The capacitive level switch VEGACAP 64 operates independently of the physical properties of the mud. Thanks to the special mechanical construction with active screening segment, it works reliably and safely even in case of heavy buildup.
