Oil, Gas & Chemical Processing

Petrochemical, refinery, and chemical processing plants require instruments that meet ATEX and IECEx hazardous area certification, survive continuous exposure to corrosive process gases and liquids, and remain stable over multi-year inspection intervals. Safety integrity and functional safety certification are required at many measurement points.

Applications & Use Cases

EGE Fill Level Sensors EGE Fill Level Sensors
01
Level measurement in chemical storage tanks

EGE fill level sensors with chemical-resistant housings measure liquid levels in acid and alkali storage tanks, providing 4–20 mA output to DCS systems without contacting the process fluid.

EGE Flow Sensors EGE Flow Sensors
02
Flow measurement on process pump discharge

EGE flow sensors monitor discharge flow on process pump circuits in chemical plants, detecting cavitation, impeller wear, and valve seal leakage early.

EGE Pressure Sensors EGE Pressure Sensors
03
Pressure monitoring on process vessels and reactors

EGE pressure sensors measure operating pressure in reaction vessels and distillation columns, providing high-pressure alarm signals that trigger emergency pressure relief.

Lion Precision Eddy Current Lion Precision Eddy Current
04
Rotating equipment vibration and displacement

Lion Precision eddy current sensors measure shaft runout and vibration on process compressors and pump impellers in ATEX Zone 1 areas, providing continuous condition monitoring.

Schmersal Ex Devices Schmersal Ex Devices
05
Safety interlocking on pressure vessel access doors

Schmersal ATEX solenoid interlocks prevent pressure vessel access hatches from being opened until confirmed depressurised, providing SIL 2 safety function.

Contrinex Inductive Contrinex Inductive
06
Valve position feedback in pipeline control systems

Contrinex inductive sensors with ATEX Zone 2 certification provide open/closed position feedback on automated pipeline isolation valves in refinery process areas.

Fuchs Fume Extraction Fuchs Fume Extraction
07
Fume extraction on chemical decanting stations

Fuchs extraction systems capture solvent vapours and chemical mist at decanting and transfer stations, meeting COSHH and OSHA permissible exposure limits.
