A NEW APPROACH TO IMPROVE MEASUREMENT ACCURACY AND CONTROL OF BULK MATERIALS IN BUNKERS

Abstract

The goal of the project is to improve the system for measuring and managing the amount of bulk materials in bunkers. When calculating the bulk material volumes in the bins, the task is to ensure continuous accurate control of the level and volume of bulk products, taking into account the upper shape of the bulk material by determining the distance h3 of the upper part to the surface of the liquid material installed next to the loading opening. High accuracy, low power consumption, and low cost are all advantages of the devised approach.
