FDC1004: Using capacitive sensing for viscous furnace oil in 5 meter tall tank

Part Number: FDC1004
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FDC2214, , FDC2214EVM

We are working for pyrolysis plant where we want to measure oil level of output tank.

The liquid is viscous and might contain sediments. This rules out using pressure sensor at bottom to measure level.

The tank might overflow which might damage ultrasonic or radar type sensor if used.

I was wondering if this level sensing solution can be used for measuring level in this type of application

Also, whether the we should be worried about excitation signal in presence of oil.
