If you show your complete design, form of ceramic (composition, size of particles, etc), and preliminary test results, you might get some responses

Tank levels are rarely fast acting, but a reservoir. Fast acting and accurate flow control is common in some processes, but rarely will tank level be used to control the discharge flow. For example, high pressure boilers are a totally different category, especially where super heaters, steam...

Why is flow cascade control being used at all

There are numerous issues you've not mentioned. (1) Is the engine constant speed? (2) Why are you using a butterfly valve? (3) What is the pipe size and nominal flow rate? (4) You've not mentioned temperature control when that is the main function of the coolant loop. Process design is as...

Contact your vendor, they will have addressed to issues

you must consult the vendor literature

you'll have to consult the suppliers research studies (or so called white papers). They are commonly available at vendor conferences, and in various journals.

Assuming the generator demand is stable over the years, valve vibration issues, together with reduced lift, are indicative of needing valve rebuild or replacement.

When was the most recent performance testing of your unit system

Before you redesign the kiln, you'll have to carry out some fundamental research

You must consult your supplier for training, and advice

In photo B, it appears that you have branch piping connections less that two pipe diameters from the meter connection on either side. You might also explain the details of the in line flow metering device, as it is definitely not an orifice plate. Process conditions P, T, and flow rates are...

you might take a look and the Pulp and Paper Institute https://www.tappi.org

Sketch out your layout and Check your math... 40"*[0.86 (oil SG) - 0.93 (XMTR SG)]= ? 40"[1.0 (H2O SG) - 0.93 (XMTR SG) ]= ?

given that this is an existing design, you have to contact "BHEL-supplied GE Frame VI Gas Turbine with a Speedtronic Mark VI control system" or the supplier. your instrument maintenance staff can easily fix it, but it is contrary to the original design drawing provided by your paid supplier.
