KROHNE 's Al Dhanji discusses flow measurement technologies for chlor-alkali processes, covering magmeters, Coriolis meters, entrained gas management and safety integrity levels.

Three Key Takeaways

1. Virtual reference technology eliminates leak paths in mag meters by using a non-wetted grounding methodology, reducing costs and maintenance risks in corrosive applications.
2. Straight-tube Coriolis meters offer advantages over bent-tube designs: easier installation, less pressure drop, reduced abrasion, simpler cleaning and competitive pricing with custody transfer accuracy.
3. Entrained gas management is essential for process reliability — it keeps Coriolis meters measuring during two-phase flow conditions and provides early warning of upstream equipment problems like cavitating pumps or failing seals.

Flow measurement technology has evolved to meet the increasingly complex demands operators must place on accuracy and reliability.

In the processing industries, such as oil and gas, chemical processing and water and wastewater management, inaccurate flow data can lead to catastrophic results. These days, Coriolis meters offer a more accurate means of flow measurement, but they aren’t alone. Everything from ultrasonic to electromagnetic technology plays a role in the overall safety, security, and efficiency of both continuous and batch processing.

This webinar's audio content is available here and features a panel of experts discussing the evolution of flow technology, best practices for selecting the right flowmeter for various applications, ensuring accuracy and reliability, and the one big thing you need to know about selecting flowmeters in today’s industry.

Electromagnetic flow meters are volumetric flow meters that use
electromagnetic induction to measure liquid velocity. This
measurement method is highly accurate at measuring water-based
fluids as they pass through a pipe. They are cost-effective, long-lasting
and compatible with existing technology. However, there are things to
consider before investing in this technology.
Chemical Processing's editor Traci Purdum chatted with Joseph Incontri, director of marketing, North America at KROHNE, to help us understand the pros
and cons.

Year’s end is when people gather for holiday parties or family get togethers. It also means that food and beverages are crucial contributors to good times and  long lasting memories. It is no secret that food recipes, whether for home meals or large scale production, are only as good as the people who follow them, and the measurement tools they use. A pinch, dash, tad, smidgen, drop or sprinkle doesn’t exactly spell accuracy or lead to repeatability. That’s where process measurement instruments come into play.
Food production processes, like recipes, also involve some interesting challenges. For chocolate producers, they need to measure the ingredients down to the gram and they need need to control the temperature very closely. Butter and cheese producers need to control their separation and standardization processes very closely while bread, pastry and cake folks have a lot to control in their blending and mixing process. Not to mention that in every instance they also have to make sure their high standards of cleanliness and sterilization are always maintained and that records are up to date for regulators and inspectors.
KROHNE flow, level temperature and pressure sensors are used throughout the world in many of these applications and challenging environments and we will be discussing a few of the unique elements that set out devices apart and worthy of consideration for your process, whether it is for a food process, a chemical production plant or even a wastewater treatment facility.
We will discuss the a few measurement principles, some real world conditions they excel in and how they can contribute to a sustainable process operation.

Flowmeters have been used for hundreds of years, but it is only relatively recently that the most adaptable technology has become available for process applications. Coriolis meters were first patented in the 1950s and first introduced as lab instruments in the 70s. They began to be rolled out to specific process applications a decade later and have rapidly evolved in design and performance since then, to the point now where they are by far the most accurate and repeatable flow sensor technology for process liquids and gas applications. Some meter designs can also be applied to custody transfer situations, further validating their outstanding performance specifications.
Most Coriolis meters on the market then, and now, feature a multi-tube or single bent tube sensor design. KROHNE was among the earliest producers of Coriolis meters and quickly distinguished itself by developing the first single straight tube design for challenging processes that could not accept bent tube solutions. 
In this episode, I would like to discuss some of the challenges that Coriolis meters can tackle better than other flowmeter technologies and I would also like to take it a step further and share a few unique situations where only a very specific solution could be applied.
Some aspects we’ll cover:
•The basics of Coriolis meters
•How their performance matches to other types of flowmeters
•Where do bent tube and straight tube meters apply themselves
•3 Specific unique applications
•What you need to consider

Using Electromagnetic Flowmeters for Better Management of Produced Water
The oil and gas industry is increasingly relying on electromagnetic flowmeters, or magmeters, as a crucial tool to address the ever-growing challenges of managing produced water, which is the water that is brought to the surface during oil and gas extraction operations. The volume of produced water is surging while the industry also faces growing constraints on its disposal and how it can be used.

These growing financial and environmental pressures have heightened the importance of accurate and reliable measurement of produced water flow at every stage — from extraction and separation to transportation, treatment, and eventual re-use or disposal. Consequently, the industry is transitioning from conventional mechanical meters to intelligent electromagnetic flowmeters, enabling more efficient and effective management of produced water.

Get some background on this industry segment, discover the benefits of magmeters  and learn about the distinct advantages KROHNE OPTIFLUX meters have .

Yannick Farine is KROHNE’s Industry Specialist for Vegetable Oils. He is a member of the Global Food & Beverage Industry Marketing Division. He is based in Antwerp, in the Flemish region of Belgium and has been with KROHNE for over 5 years in various roles. He has been in his current role since January of 2022.
Right now he is focused on Global Business development for the edible oils industry while also having a few specific account management responsibilities
According to Yannick, based a variety of unique products and features within the KROHNE portfolio we can improve edible oils installations both technically and economically depending on the customers preferences. However, approaching the market with these unusual solutions deviates from common industry standards and it's my role to promote and spread this information. 
Which brings us to the subject for this session. It is energy management at food and edible oil production facilities. You might think that it does not apply to your area but think again since this content can also apply to any manufacturing facility. 
Specifically, Yannick will speak about steam applications, as well as heating and cooling water loops and the instrumentation solutions KROHNE has to offer for those. He’ll also touch on how to best address the customer’s hidden or unspoken requirements and how to counteract traditional biases and competitor positioning.
Today’s session draws from content that Yannick first introduced in a webinar for the international KROHNE sales team a few weeks ago. I have adapted the audio for this brief podcast format. Since Yannick had created this content for an international audience, primarily focused on European applications, I have also the interjected some thoughts for North America based prospects and customers. 
I hope you enjoy this and that you will benefit from developing interesting conversations and opportunities with your prospects and customers on these topics introduced by Yannick.
We welcome any questions or comments.
