... for Overflash Mass Flow Measurement
The overflash volume in atmospheric
distillation is an important indicator
for effective and well balanced operation
of the distillation column. A precise
measurement of this quantity poses a
special challenge. Driven only by gravity,
the medium moves at very low flow
velocities of around 0.15 m/s, with a
maximum flow rate of 10 t/h. Therefore,
in order to reach a reasonable accuracy,
the previously installed orifice plates had
very small diameters. This resulted in a
high pressure loss which could almost
not be overcome by the hydrostatic
conditions. Another challenge for the
measuring system was the high medium
temperature of around 380°C.
