(2.8 m) high buffer tank; corrosive, condensing vapors; continuously mixing CUSTOMER Chemical plant in France CHALLENGE A chemical plant sought a reliable solution to replace a capacitance probe on caustic soda; the capacitance probe had caused problems due to an erratic output. The probe required frequent recalibrations, resulting in high maintenance costs. The capacitance probe was ins
