Accurate and reliable measurement of all streams in and out of the
refinery is vital for accounting and profitability, making accurate mass
balance critical to refining applications. A true balance makes it
possible to analyze and optimize product yield, decide what and how much
catalyst to use, determine conversion, and choose appropriate process
feedstocks. Although material balances must be done on a mass basis,
often times measurement devices used by refineries measure volume, which
is then converted to mass.
Micro Motion flow and density meters measure mass directly, along
with providing volume flow, density and temperature measurements all
from a single device. By design, Micro Motion meters are highly
reliable, non-intrusive, and have no moving parts. At +/-0.05% flow
accuracy and +/-0.0002 g/cc density accuracy, no other Coriolis meter
offers accuracy to the level of Micro Motion meters.
Measure mass flow, volume flow, density, and temperature with
a single device
No moving parts to wear or replace minimizes maintenance for long-term reliability
No flow conditioning or straight pipe runs required lowering
installation costs
Unparalleled accuracy that is reliable and sustainable
regardless of environment or process fluid
Bi-directional flow devices deliver measurement and process flexibility
Refining industry measurement applications include:
Process unit mass balance
Refinery loss control
Custody transfer
Process evaluation & optimization
Feed characterization and product quality control
Concentration measurement, including acid for alkylation
