Mastering the challenges of the chemical industry
The chemical industry is a key sector for virtually all branches of industry. It forms the start of almost any process chain. However, it also incorporates the biggest challenges for safe procedures and the economically efficient use of plant capacities.
- Safety directly installed: The correct selection of materials, welding approvals and mechanical solutions such as gas-tight lining, planning of the second line of defence as well as development according to IEC 61508 make the difference to safety by design.
- Cutting edge technology provides economic efficiency: Cutting edge technology ensures effective use of your resources. Many of our instruments are equipped with self-verification capabilities for predictive maintenance. Our Heartbeat Technology is just one example of how we ensure safety in your plant while reducing downtime.
- Competitive edge: We offer the complete portfolio of products and solutions for the chemical industry so that we don’t compromise on the ideal solution. Every application requires different answers to increase performance.

Customer questions
We have baffles in several tanks so can we actually use radar instruments?
The 80 GHz technology provides improved focusing for reliable, stable measurement – even in the presence of baffles. We recommend Micropilot NMR81 and the Micropilot FMR6x series for this measuring task.
