This garbage incineration plant eliminated silo overfills and minimized the risk of unplanned shutdown. RESULTS •Decreased operations costs • Reduced maintenance costs • Eliminated risk of unplanned shutdown APPLICATION Level measurement of a combustion salt silo CUSTOMER Garbage Incineration Plant in Europe CHALLENGE A garbage incineration plant had difficulty monitoring their combustion salt silo. The plant trash incineration process produces a contaminated salt that gets stored in a large silo. Whe
