Did you know that inaccuracies in steam measurement can cost your business thousands of dollars every year? Accurate steam flow measurement not only helps reduce costs but also improves operational efficiency.
In this article, we'll explore how the Rosemount 8800 flow meter measures saturated steam (hot, moist steam) for billing between a power plant and a chemical manufacturing company. This steam is extremely hot, approximately 210°C.
Challenges for the Chemical Company
A chemical company is incurring increased costs due to inaccurate steam flow measurements from its steam supplier. Without precise steam measurement, the chemical company cannot control its escalating utility expenses.
Furthermore, their current steam flow meter requires frequent maintenance and parts replacement. Each unplanned production shutdown related to maintenance and part replacement severely disrupts their production schedule.
Để đảm bảo công ty không bị tính chi phí quá cao so với lượng hơi nước đã sử dụng và thiết bị đo hơi cần phải hoạt động ổn định, thay thế các phụ kiện dễ dàng mà không phải ngừng quy trình sản xuất. Bên cạnh đó, một vấn đề quan trọng khác là cần đảm bảo yếu tố về an toàn cho nhân viên bảo trì và vận hành.
Solution: Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable™ (MTA) Flow Meter with CriticalProcess™ (CPA) Technology
Emerson introduced the chemical company to a steam measurement solution using the Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable™ Vortex.
With its non-obstructive, non-clogging design and zero-leakage rate, the Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable™ Vortex significantly improves flow measurement results.
Moreover, the Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable™ Vortex version with the CriticalProcess™ (CPA) option offers additional significant advantages:
- Easy Sensor Replacement: The CriticalProcess™ valve allows for in-situ sensor replacement directly on the pipeline, eliminating the need for production shutdowns.
- Enhanced Safety: The CriticalProcess™ valve also functions as a safety valve, enabling technicians to check for any residual pressure inside the line before sensor replacement. This significantly reduces the risk of personnel exposure to hot and hazardous steam.
How Did the Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable Vortex with CriticalProcess Valve Help?
the Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable™ Vortex successfully addressed the chemical company’s challenges and delivered key benefits:
- Minimized the risk of being overcharged for steam usage by ensuring accurate flow measurement
- Improved safety conditions for technical personnel.
- Provided more accurate and stable measurements over time
- Significantly reduced sensor replacement frequency thanks to a non-wetted sensor design, which avoids direct contact with high-temperature steam (up to 210°C)
