Application Story – Petrochemicals Manufacture in France
Application:
This major petrochemicals manufacturing site
for polypropylene, polyethylene, styrene,
polystyrene, butadiene, and aromatics
introduced mass flow measurement to measure
and record the input of highly viscous
polybutadene styrene into the manufacturing
process.
This input was not previously measured.
Process:
Temperature: 30 ° C,
Pressure: 8 bar,
Density: 0.9 kg / l
Viscosity: 7900 mPa.s
Maximum flow rate: 13 T / H
The OPTIMASS 7300 S80 was used with the converter installed in the control room
directly connected to the digital process controller. With the MFC300 it is possible to
have up to 300 meters between converter and sensor
Benefits to the customer
Improved process installation, and control
of consumption of process materials.
Less than 0.5 Bar pressure drop in spite of
the additional equipment in the process
line and the extreme viscosity of the
process fluid.
STRAIGHT TALK
Why did the customer choose KROHNE?:
A low pressure drop due to the single straight tube
construction; quality advice on the setting up and
installation of the sensor; assistance at the
scheduled commissioning of the meter; and the
bonus of an extended warranty for 2 additional
years offered for the installation of this first device
at this site.
(Remember – you can always offer your customer a 3year
guarantee in exchange for the process details with
the extended warranty card which they receive with the
meter or fill in on the KROHNE website.)
