Radars have been successfully applied and working on coal bunker, coal silo and coal hopper level measurement and indication for many years in power, mining and coal transportation applications just look at this site story from back in 2005! They measure level reliably, with coal dust in the air, build up, even during filling! And, when dust levels are really heavy, they can have an integrated air purge system for cleaning the sensor. Multiple units can be installed if the surface area is large, to provide surface profiling and more accurate level, useful especially when there can be multiple discharge points. VEGA level radars are also being used more and more as Biomass leve indicators at power stations and recycling plants. For more information on this product follow this link.
