MOTOR CAR MANUFACTURER ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER

BACKGROUND:

A Motor Manufacturing Company had a requirement to monitor all the effluent being process and allowed 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 2 other parts of the manufacturing site. The effluent was processed separately, but each line had to be measured either before processing of 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 MAGFLO MAG 5000 and MAG 1100 Solution. The MAG1100 magnetic meter can be supplied with a number of optional charactristics, 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 causes of low level corrosive attack for the long periods of time the meter could be exposed to such materials.

The MAG5000 converter was supplied in an IP67 compact configuration, with the electronics sat on top of the sesor. The MAG5000 converters have most of the standard outputs required by industry, and it includes the digital display of rate and total.
