... for the Measurement of Heavy Gasoil in a Vacuum Destillation TowerIn one of the most complex refineries in Europe, replacement for an unreliable flow measurement system was sought. The measuring point is located at the heavy gas oil outlet of the vacuum distillation tower, in an ATEX zone 1 rated area. The gasoil flowing there has a temperature of approximately 300°C.In this case too, clamp-on flow measurement with a WaveInjector® was the best suited measuring technology. Due to the high dynamic range of the meter, even small flows can be measured. Since the transducers are clamped onto the pipe, the meter is not subject to wear and tear. |
Concrete BenefitsEasy upgrading without pipe work and without process stoppageReliable non-intrusive flow measurement No influence on the process – no pressure drop Reliable measurement even at very low flow velocities Retrofitting & maintenance without affecting the plant Process optimization Greater accuracy than conventional orifice meters |
