Ultrasonic flowmeters for fluid monitoring in chemical process flow

Case background:

A chemical company in Germany wanted to improve fluid monitoring in its process flow. Due to the variety of products and complex pipeline layout, they needed a solution that could provide accurate and real-time data to understand changes in flow and density. This information is critical for the company to optimize production and maintain system efficiency.
Problem statement:
Process control in the chemical industry requires strict accuracy and stability. However, the company's traditional mechanical flowmeters face problems such as rapid wear, high maintenance costs, and insufficient accuracy, making it difficult to adapt to an environment with frequent changes in production specifications.

Solution:

The company decided to introduce a set of advanced ultrasonic flowmeters and ultrasonic sensors. The equipment can be installed non-invasively to reduce production downtime and can provide accurate measurement data under various pipe materials and liquid characteristics. The equipment supplier customized the sensors according to the needs to better adapt to the company's complex production environment.
Implementation process:
During the implementation process, the technical team conducted a detailed on-site investigation and optimized and integrated the layout of the ultrasonic flowmeter system while retaining the existing system architecture. This process includes the positioning of the sensor, the optimization of signal transmission, and the integration of the data interface.

Results:

Through the implementation of this project, the chemical company has achieved the following significant results:

• The accuracy of flow monitoring has been improved by 3 times that of the original system.

• Reduced maintenance costs by about 20%, and reduced production downtime caused by equipment failure.

• Through real-time data analysis, the control ability of the process flow has been enhanced, thereby improving production efficiency.

Customer feedback:

"The introduction of this ultrasonic flowmeter system is a great success for us. It not only meets our current needs, but also provides flexibility and long-term development capabilities for our production," said the company's plant manager.
