Level Measurement of Stored Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Powder in PVC Production Facilities

PVC is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic polymer of plastic. PVC powder is an example of an end product in a PVC production facility. The PVC powder inventory is stored in silos prior to being delivered or packed. The silos can be very large in size, containing thousands of tons per silo. Operators seek to closely monitor the inventory levels, but the great amount of dust generated during the filling process complicates the task.
