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, allowing permanent operations at process temperatures up to 750°F.

Overcoming the drawbacks of conventional Technologies

Traditionally, Orifice / DP 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. As the sensors are in contact with hot and often dirty hydrocarbons they show high failure rates - and especially pressure taps for orifice plates tend to clog. Such high-maintenance measuring technologies reduce plant availability and critically undermine the profitability. 

Besides, intrusive sensors create pressure losses, thus reducing process efficiency and driving energy costs.

FLEXIM's non-intrusive flow measurement, in combination with our WaveInjector, gives you the competitive edge –

in process control, process management, and environmental protection.
