.....then please define what is in the bunker, its particle size, its angle-of-repose, the materials-of-construction of the bunker, its pressure and its temperature.

It is coal bunker.

Particle size would be 5mm.

Radar is much better than ultrasonic. I ve replaced ultrasonic sensors with radar in many places where clients complained of level reading getting affected by dust.

Go for VEGA PULS68 or PULS67. It's the best on the market for solids level measurement.
