A system and method of measuring a level of settled particles in a fluid-containing vessel includes the steps of fluidizing particles from a position below the settled level of particles, and measuring a static pressure of liquid within the vessel at a position in the vessel below the settled level of particles. The fluidized static pressure is correlated to a level of settled particles within the vessel using an experimentally determined relationship. The apparatus includes an inlet pipe into the vessel at a position below the settled level of particles, and a pump which recirculates liquid from the vessel above the submerged level of particles, remote from the settled level of particles, and a static pressure instrument connected to the inlet pipe. A solids pump can be activated to remove settled particles from the vessel, the operation of the pump being controlled by the measured level of settled particles.

Un appareillage et une méthode qui permettent de mesurer le niveau de particules stabilisé dans un récipient contenant un liquide comprennent les étapes qui suivent : la fluidification des particules, d'une position en dessous du niveau stabilisé des particules; et la mesure de la pression statique de liquide dans le récipient, à une position dans le récipient située en dessous du niveau stabilisé des particules. La pression statique fluidifiée correspond au niveau des particules stabilisé dans le récipient, au moyen d'une relation déterminée expérimentalement. L'appareillage comprend un tuyau d'admission dans le récipient, à une position située en dessous du niveau stabilisé des particules; une pompe qui recircule le liquide du recipient, au-dessus du niveau submergé des particules, loin du niveau stabilisé des particules; et un instrument à pression statique raccordé au tuyau d'admission. Une pompe à solides peut être amorcée pour enlever les particules stabilisées du récipient, le fonctionnement de la pompe étant commandé par le niveau mesuré des particules stabilisées.
