VEGA panels are designed and manufactured to the specifications demanded by one of Europe’s largest Quarry plant manufacturers as well as meet and exceed the RBA recommended standards for bitumen operation and control. Different options are available, depending on customer requirements for local, remote or delivery point information and control. Please discuss with us your individual requirements.
The Tank Level Monitoring System is designed to be easy to install and use as well as perfectly compatible with all VEGA devices connected
VEGA level transmitters and level switches meet the demands and highest specifications for safety and monitoring – with WHG overfill certification and have SIL 2 conformance for safety and reliability. Europe’s’ largest bitumen plant manufacturers have for many years used VEGA switches and transmitters and they are proven on hundreds of bitumen applications. A 3-year warranty is also provided on all VEGA level devices.
Each monitoring system normally consists of the following:
- Alarm Panel (1 per system)
- Monitoring Panel (1 for each Bitumen Tank being monitored)
Over the following few days, we will be taking a closer look at the alarm panel, the monitoring panels and Additional Options for the bitumen tank application, so be sure to check back.

A radiation based measurement system consists of 2 basic components: the source holder and nuclear detector. The source holder emits a pattern of gamma radiation that is sized to pass the vessel walls, and any other obstruction, the changing level of the measured product will attenuate the beam.
The detector measures the amount, or the presence or absence, of the radiation it received. A detector with an integral transmitter converts this amount into a useful analogue such as 4-20mA or Fieldbus Digital output proportional to a process variable such as level/interface.

We have been busy putting articles onto EzineArticles.com, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of people writing articles on level monitoring sensors and level measurement devices on the general article directories, so we are filling the void with articles like:
The Guided Wave Radar Night Watchman to Meet COMAH Regulations
The Hydrostatic Level Transmitter For Use in Sumps, Tanks, Sewers and Open Water
Advances In Radar Level Gauge Technology
Capacitance Sensor FAQ
Level Switching – Measuring Principles of Vibrating Level Switches
For more articles on level monitoring sensors and related topics, and to keep an eye out for new ones, make sure you take a look at D Anderson’s profile on EzineArticles by clicking this link
Oh and be sure to let us know, if there is anything level measurement related that you’d like us to write an article on, by leaving a comment here)

This is going to to be one of those posts you need to bookmark, as each month I will be adding the latest application workshop link here.
Application workshops are mini case studies looking at different applications, solutions to these applications and the technology behind the solution. We look at a wide range of level measurement from pressure to guided wave radar and everything in between.
A good interesting read, even if I do say so myself!
These are the application workshops that we have so far:
Application Workshop No.1 Loading High Level
Application Workshop No.2 Solids in Water
Application workshop No.3 Waste pit level
Application workshop No.4 Storm Water level
Application Workshop No.5 Bitumen Road Tanker
Application Workshop No.6 Volatile Liquids
Application Workshop No.7 Paper Stock Headbox
Application Workshop No.8 Bund Level Detection
Application Workshop No.9 Flammable Products
Application Workshop No.10 Vacuum Measurement
Application Workshop No.11 Confined Spaces New

Congratulations, once again to Mr Herve Tubert of Wienerberger, Horsham branch – winner of our Customer Satisfaction Survey Prize Draw.
Here is a picture of rather snazzy MP3 being handed over by our sales engineer Kevin Mitchell to Mr Herve Tubert:
Mr Tubert looks after all things electrical and was involved in a project through CRK to supply a PULS67 for sand silo level measurement.
Next draw we could be presenting a nice gift to you.
