The Ronan Model X99-MDL System is a motorized density gage that is
used to scan or profile a vessel for determining the densities and their
locations in a stratified process. The most common use for the device is
to measure and control the separation(s) in a separator, mixer or
settler. However, it is equally a valuable tool to analyze the reaction,
behavior and dynamics of any critical process. Because the measurement
is non-contacting, it is very reliable, unaffected by the chemical or
physical properties of the process.
The principle of the measurement is gamma ray absorption. The source
and detector, upon command, move up and down in separate, vertical dry
wells, which are spaced apart to monitor between twelve and twenty-four
inches of process.
The motor can be programmed to move up, down, or stop in a manual
mode, or continuously scan between selected levels. The location or
level of the source/detector is accurately measured by the motor
resolver circuitry. In addition, the X99 microprocessor can be
instructed to program the motor to track the level of a specific density
(density track) or TRACK the RAG or emulsified INTERVAL between two
process densities. The tracking of the rag interval (RIT) is a unique
feature of the Ronan X99 MDL system.
Configurations: There are various combinations of source/detector
geometries that can be utilized. They are as follows:
a) Moving Point Source - Moving Point Detector
b) Moving Point Source - Stationary Continuous Detector
c) Moving Point Source - Point Detector in single well (Backscatter
Mode)
