Preventing Pollution of the Drains
The extraction of oil and gas from the sea is not free of pollution. Production by-products and contaminating materials are produced throughout the entire plant. Rain drainage on-board platforms and ships can carry considerable quantities of oil, sand, and dirt. To prevent these contaminates from disturbing the delicate balance of the oceans, they are collected and disposed of.
Level Measurement with Ultrasound in the Rainwater Catchment Tank
Contaminating materials washed away by rainwater are collected in open catchment tanks, or open drain. The VEGASON 62 ultrasonic sensor measures the water level in these containers. The non-contact measurement information is used to control the disposal of the runoff and prevents the tanks from overflowing. The measuring system is not affected by the amount of contaminating material in the runoff and is easily mounted above the catchment tank.
