State-of-the-Art Ultrasonic Technology for Flow Measurement in Refineries.FLEXIM’s WaveInjector® has been specially engineered for high-temperature applications. Using patented technology, the WaveInjector® thermally separates the ultrasonic transducer from the hot pipe, allowing operation at process temperatures up to 400°C.Non-intrusive flow measurement gives you a competitive edge – in process control, process management, and environmental protection. Drawbacks of conventional technologiesTraditionally, orifice flowmeters, Coriolis flowmeters and vortex flowmeters are used to measure refinery flows. Especially in demanding environments, these well-know conventional flowmeter types have equally well-known shortcomings:Intrusive sensors create pressure loss, reducing process efficiency. Intrusive flow measurement technologies require frequent servicing. Sensors in contact with hot and often dirty hydrocarbons have high failure rates, and pressure taps for orifice plates tend to clog. These high-maintenance measuring technologies reduce plant availability. In demanding refinery service, high maintenance costs critically undermine profitability, especially when the costs of reduced plant availability are taken into account. Unique measuring technologyFLEXIM is the only producer of high temperature non-intrusive clamp-on flowmeter technology worldwide. The WaveInjector® is used all over the world, by some of the biggest names in the process industries. The reason is clear: from crude oil to coal tar distillates, WaveInjector® remains accurate and reliable under the toughest conditions.Simple to installThe ultrasonic transducers are simply clamped to the outer surface of the pipe, using coupling plates for acoustic contact. There is no need to open the pipework, no drilling, and no break in production. s FLEXIM offers a wide range of ultrasonic transducers and transmitters to match any flow measurement application.Wide dynamic rangeThe exceptionally high dynamic range of ultrasonic technology (0.01 to 25 m/s) out-performs most other flowmeter types, bringing big advantages when you need to measure widely-varying flowrates accurately..Reliable performance, even under the roughest conditions – from crude oil to coal tar distillates |
