Special challenges
Dust generation
Application
In power plants, the flue gases are cleaned in several ways. One of them is electrostatic filtering, which efficiently extracts large amounts of dust from the gases. This material is collected in a silo and further processed. Level measuring instruments and level detectors are used to monitor the silo.
