Leading Measurement Solutions in Refineries from Berthold Technologies. Berthold Technologies radiometric instruments for non-contacting level and density measurement are widely used in the global oil refining industry. Among our customers are well-known companies like Exxon Mobil, Sinopec, Shell, BP, Conoco Phillips, Lukoil, Total - just to name a few.

With our measuring solutions based on gamma absorption we help our customers to reliably control their processes and thus ensuring a safe operation and maximizing efficiency and profit. Berthold is renowned for cutting-edge technology and high-class products. We provide a wide range of standard solutions to the industry and in addition we develop in close cooperation with customers and licensors tailored systems for new processes and measuring tasks.

To make critical applications more reliable we provide interface, level and density measurements for: 
- Oil/emulsions/water in desalters
- Distillation bottoms
- Delayed coking units
- Solvent deasphalting units
- Alkylation units
- Resid hydrocracking
- Fluidized catalytic cracking units (FCC)
- Continuous catalytic reforming processes (CCR)

Committed to technological leadership
The high-sensitive detectors achieve a better measuring effect and can work with remarkably low source activities. Depending on the application the source activity can be reduced by up to 80%.

Unique features such as X-ray interference protection during weld inspections (XIP and RID), our patented temperature and aging compensation and SIL2/SIL3 certified detectors lead to superior measurement performance and high reliability, which remains stable and unfailing throughout the whole time of operation. Check Berthold’s Knowledgebase to learn more about these features.

Our non-intrusive measurement systems offer a number of advantages:
- Outside mounting of components
- Not exposed to the harsh process conditions
- Free of wear and maintenance
- Smooth handling and operation
- Lowest cost of ownership
- Easy to install on existing pipes or tanks without modifications
- Perfect for all high temperature, high pressure applications
- Worldwide sales and service support
