ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER
BACKGROUND
A Car manufacturer had a requirement to monitor all the effluent being processed and discharged off site. Their water company stated that they now had to meter all the flows rather than pay a set amount each month. There were a number of points where flow was discharged, and the output signals given by the meter had to be split in order to allow site monitoring and sub metering / internal billing.
THE PROBLEM
The effluent came from four different sources. The engine plant, the paint shop and two other parts of the manufacturing site. The effluent was processed separately but each line had to be measured either before processing or immediately after so billing could be kept separate. There were two flows from two large separation tanks, a pumped flow from a sump and one other.
FLOWLINE'S METERING SOLUTION
As the fluid chemistry was not readily available at that time, Flowline offered their MAG1100. The MAG1100 magnetic meter can be specified with a number of material options and in this case it was supplied with a high temperature Ceramic liner capable of withstanding some of the most aggressive chemicals. This afforded protection of the meter against most common fluids that could cause low level corrosive attack over a long period of time.
The MAG5000 converter was supplied in an IP67 compact configuration with the electronics mounted on top of the sensor. The MAG5000 converters have most of the standard outputs required by industry and includes a digital display of rate and total.
