Emerson Process Management has enhanced its range of level measurement devices with updates to the Rosemount 5708 Series 3D solids scanner and the 5402 radar instrument.

The Rosemount 5708 Series 3D Solids Scanner, which uses acoustic measurement and 3D mapping technology to provide continuous level and volume measurement, is now ATEX/IECEx certified for installation in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres, often found in solids measurement applications. An updated mounting adaptor also allows the device to be installed within electrostatic precipitator (ESP) hoppers. By using its 3D visualisation capability to map out the surface of the fly ash that builds up in the hopper, operators can optimise the process, reducing cost, risk and wear and tear on the hopper.

Emerson has also introduced full SCADA integration support for the solids scanner. Users can now seamlessly integrate 3D visualisation of the surface level into Emerson’s Ovation or DeltaV distributed control systems.

The Rosemount 5402 now has a purging connection to prevent clogging of the antenna in applications with very dusty environments, and the existing self-cleaning function on the Rosemount 5708 can now be complemented with a PTFE-coated antenna which helps extend maintenance intervals even further.

For remote solids applications or where there is no existing cable infrastructure, both the solids scanner and the Rosemount 5402 non-contact radar, which provides bulk solids level measurement for applications with smaller-sized vessels, can now be connected to a WirelessHART network using a Smart Wireless THUM Adapter.
