Technical Characteristics and Safety Excellence
-
High-Capacity Source Management: The FQG74 can hold up to 20 internal sources, making it the ideal choice for multipoint density or long-range level measurements that require multiple radiation points to cover the entire process span.
-
Robust Radiation Protection: With best-in-class shielding, this container typically eliminates the need for restricted control areas. This allows the device to be installed in accessible parts of the plant without specialized safety barriers for personnel.
-
Type A Approval: Designed and tested for maximum safety during transport and operation, meeting the stringent Type A requirements for radioactive material containers.
-
Flexible Dip Tube Installation: The robust design allows the container to be inserted into both straight and bent dip tubes, providing flexibility for complex reactor geometries where external mounting is not feasible.
-
Independent Source Positioning: Each source can be individually adjusted using independent ropes with a maximum length of 30 meters. This allows for precise calibration and commissioning of the measurement profile.

Primary Applications
-
Oil & Gas Separation: Measuring density profiles in the separation process to distinguish between oil, water, and gas layers.
-
Hydrocracking Processes: Monitoring the level of the catalyst bed across various elevations in the reactor to optimize the hydrocracking process.
-
PTA and Urea Reactors: Providing reliable level and multipoint density measurements in high-pressure, high-temperature chemical reactors.
-
Long Measuring Ranges: Continuous level measurement in very tall silos or reactors where a single radiation source would be insufficient.
-
Thick-Walled Vessels: Measuring through heavy steel walls and internal obstructions where other technologies (like Radar or Ultrasonic) cannot penetrate.
