FLEXIM's WaveInjector has been specially engineered for high-temperature applications

Using patented technology, the WaveInjector thermally separates the ultrasonic transducer from the hot pipe, allowig permanent operations at process temperatures up to 400°C.

Drawbacks of conventional Technologies

Traditionally, Orifice meters, Coriolis meters and Vortex meters are used to measure refinery flows - especially in demanding environments. These well-known conventional flowmeter types have equally well-known shortcomings:

Intrusive flow measurement technologies require frequent servicing. Sensors in contact with hot and often dirty hydrocarbons have high failure rates, and pressure taps for orifice plates tend to clog. These high-maintenance measuring technologies reduce plant availability.

In demanding refinery service, high maintenance costs critically undermine profitability, especially when the costs of reduced plant availability are taken into account. 

Intrusive sensors create pressure loss, reducing process efficiency.

FLEXIM' non-intrusive flow measurement, in combination with our WaveInjector, gives you a competitive edge – in process control, process management, and environmental protection.
