Introduction

Chemical Storage Solutions

What kind of chemical storage solutions do we offer?

We provide specialized level measurement instrumentation engineered for aggressive, corrosive, and hazardous chemical environments. Our portfolio includes measurement instrumentation engineered for:

Specialized Servo Gauges

  • Designed for high value or high precision chemical inventory applications value or high precision chemical inventory applications.
  • Equipped with chemically resistant displacers (PTFE, Hastelloy, etc.).
  • Ultra accurate for custody or inventory reconciliation accurate for custody or inventory reconciliation.

Overfill Protection Systems

  • Independent alarms critical for preventing hazardous chemical spills.
  • Helps meet environmental and regulatory compliance requirements.

Why Are Measurement Tools Critical in Chemical Storage?

Chemical storage introduces risks beyond standard liquid storage. Accurate measurement enables:

Safety — for Personnel & Environment

  • Eliminates manual gauging and exposure to toxic or carcinogenic vapors.
  • Supports spill prevention and containment planning.

Asset Protection

  • Prevents sensor degradation from chemical attack.
  • Avoids equipment failure, leaks, and costly downtime.

Product Purity

Non-contact radar avoids physical contamination in pharmaceutical or food grade applications.

Introduction to Chemical Storage Solutions

Chemical storage requires far more than basic level measurement. Tanks containing acids, caustics, or volatile solvents demand equipment designed for extreme corrosion resistance, process isolation, and continuous reliability.

Cognesense delivers a suite of Radar and Servo-based level measurement tools engineered specifically for chemical environments — enabling safe, accurate, and contamination-free monitoring without exposing people or instrumentation to hazardous materials.

How It Works & Key Advantages

01

Non-contact Reliability

Our preferred technology for chemical storage is non-contact radar (e.g., L&J evo 1600 Series).

Key Benefits
  • Sensor never touches the chemical
  • Immune to corrosion, buildup, and crystallization
  • Highly accurate even in highvapor environments
02

Material Compatibility

For Applications Requiring Contact
  • Probes and displacers available in Hastelloy, Monel, PTFE (Teflon), and other exotic alloys.
  • Designed to survive aggressive or highly acidic media.
03

Vapor & Pressure Handling

Chemical tanks often include blanket gases or thick vapor layers.

Our Radar Systems Are Engineered to
  • Ignore vapor interference
  • Maintain accuracy under varying pressure conditions.
  • Outperform ultrasonic or mechanical sensors in harsh vapor environments.
04

Installation & Retrofit Considerations

Upgrades to chemical storage tanks require strict attention to containment and safety.

Seamless Retrofit
  • Fits standard ANSI flange connections.
  • Enables quick upgrades with minimal mechanical modification.
  • Ideal for replacing failed ultrasonic or mechanical gauges.
Isolation Integrity

Because vapor migration is a major safety risk, all Cognesense chemical devices include:

  • Dual-seal barriers
  • Explosion-proof housings
  • Designs that prevent vapors from entering conduits or control systems.

This protects both personnel and facility infrastructure.
