Hi everybody,
I am facing a hard time because capacitance level transmitters installed inside a DEA sump drum are working very bad, one is measuring only hydrocarbon and the other is measuring interface between amine and hydrocarbon. But the problem is not this, the problem is that the process taps are very long and narrow (2 inches diameter) and the sensors are flexible. That means one wire for reference ground and other wire for measure. Now these wires are touching the internal walls of the process tap because of the small diameter, and this affects the measuring. Has anyone faced the same problem? I hope get help from you!!
P.S. The other problem is that this drum is installed underground, and we don't have a visual level reference, but we are using a tape with cream to detect water or hydrocarbon, therefore it is not a big problem.
