Acid Tank Levels
Infrared Thermography is a SAFE and effective way to verify, or check acid tank levels. Infrared can also be used on various other liquid, and solids tanks.
Currently the practice would be to have an operator manually go out and place a wooden stick in the tanks’ to verify or check tank levels. The instrumentation department was also glad to see this capability to aid them in trouble-shooting problems with their level transmitters.
The time saving and safety aspects of doing thermography on just Acid tanks was estimated at 1000 man-hours a year and immeasurable safety gains.
