MLR-70's guided-wave radar design is explicitly noted as unaffected by vapor/outgassing — relevant to any tank headspace with volatile or off-gassing chemical vapor, a condition that defeats ultrasonic level sensing.
A chemical storage tank that off-gasses — hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite both do — will feed an ultrasonic level sensor false echoes from vapor in the headspace long before the liquid level is actually a problem. Icon's MLR-70 guided-wave radar is named specifically for Liquid Chemical Storage and Chemical Sumps because contact radar isn't fooled by that vapor the way an acoustic sensor is.
