Abstract:
A level detector includes a sleeve mountable to a vessel and extendable through a wall defined by the vessel A and into an interior area defined by the vessel. The sleeve is mountable at an angle A of less than forty-five degrees relative to the vessel wall The level detector includes a level sensing probe extending into a bore defined by an inside surface of the sleeve The level sensing probe is configured to measure a plurality of foam and aerated slurry levels in the vessel A. One or more connectors are positioned outside B of the vessel A to removably support the level sensing probe within the bore. The level sensing probe is in communication with the interior area via one or more openings extending into the bore.
