Durable transmitters for demanding chemical applications

Whether in aggressive chemicals, in applications with extreme temperature fluctuations or in potentially explosive atmospheres: for the diverse challenges in the chemical industry, VEGA offers highly reliable level and pressure instrumentaion solutions. With their robust, long-term stability, high chemical resistance and precise measurement, even under changing conditions, VEGA transmitters ensure maximum process reliability.

Level measurement and point level detection in process steam generation

Long term stability

In chemical plants, instruments must deliver precise measuring results over many years, even under extreme conditions. VEGA transmitters achieve this long-term stability thanks to high-quality materials, precision components and self-monitoring diagnostic systems. Due to the lower maintenance requirements and calibration stability, long-term stable transmitters have clear cost advantages in operation.

Steam vessel

Chemically resistant

In the chemical industry, field based transmitters are exposed to aggressive and corrosive media. To guarantee precise measuring results over the long term, VEGA relies on chemically resistant materials such as stainless steel, Hastelloy and titanium as well as PTFE and PFA coatings. These provide reliable protection against extreme chemicals such as acids and lyes.

Remains highly precise under fluctuating process conditions

Chemical processes are subject to fluctuations in temperature, pressure and medium composition, which makes precise measurement difficult. VEGA level transmitters based on radar or guided radar utilise temperature and pressure compensation and ensure process reliability under all conditions.

Sustainability and the circular economy

In the chemical industry, sustainability is becoming the core mission and the circular economy the model for the future. In order for products to be reused, precise data on materials and their condition is essential. Measurement technology creates the basis for transparent data streams that are used to control sustainable processes.

Conserving resources and reducing waste

The more tightly chemical reactions are controlled, the fewer unwanted by-products generated. VEGA’s high-precision transmitters help to conserve resources and minimise energy consumption. This not only reduces operating costs, but also avoids waste products.

Hydrogen and CCS

VEGA technology supports hydrogen applications and the storage of carbon dioxide (CCS) through highly precise and reliable pressure and level measurement. The instrumentation helps to ensure that hydrogen is stored and transported safely and that CO₂ capture and storage functions smoothly.

Circular economy

Whether mechanical or chemical recycling: Circular processes require precise data. Transmitters for level and pressure enable efficient material separation, while in chemical recycling, they ensure optimal process control. VEGA transmitters thus make a significant contribution to resource conservation and efficiency in the circular economy.

Sustainable measurement technology

In chemical plants, having durable, robust instrumentation is an essential requirement for greater sustainability. For that reason, VEGA attaches great importance to the repairable capabilities of its products and provides comprehensive maintenance and service facilities. The digital twin and the myVEGA portal enable status monitoring, which contributes to a longer service life for instruments.
