Today, rising economic pressure is forcing major refineries to steadily increase the throughput of their facilities. Reliable flow measurement is crucial to the optimization of production processes. Refined bitumen, which is produced by means of vacuum distillation at temperatures around 370°C, poses a special challenge to flow measurement technology because of its high temperature and high viscosity.

Intrusive flow meters face problems inherent to their technologies: clogging of impulse piping, deposit formation, etc. These problems result in frequent shut-downs, high maintenance costs and reduced throughput.

FLEXIM's answer to these problems is the non-intrusive WaveInjector^® – ideally suited for high temperatures up to 400°C. There are no movable parts which could be subject to wear and tear. There are no limitations to medium pressure. Its installation will not require any down time. Accurate, drift-free measurement is possible, even with large nominal pipe sizes. The robust measuring system is not harmed by either by hot steam purging or by short term overheating.
