... for the Flow Measurement of Heat Transfer Oil at High TemperaturesIn a Dutch refinery, a special heat transfer oil is used to supply process heat for the distillation columns. The oil is heated up to 300°C and conveyed through a system of thermally insulated pipes to the columns.Effective operation of this installation requires reliable flow measurement of the oil. Before non-intrusive ultrasonic flow measurement technology was introduced, the flow was determined by means of differential pressure measurement. Operations had to be stopped once a year in order to carry out the inspection and maintenance of the system. The medium is a carcinogenic substance. Therefore all maintenance work required special preparation and precautions. |
Concrete BenefitsReliable non-intrusive flow measurementReliable process control Easy retrofitting without opening the pipe and without process interruption No risk of toxic leak No wear and tear – no process stoppage for inspection and maintenance Higher plant availability Protection of health and environment |
