Application
Abrasive fluids
Drilling Mud (Oil in Mud Measurement)
KROHNE have now completed a few projects
using the OPTIMASS 2000 for Oil in Mud
recovery processing
The flow splitter helps control the flow of the
mud reducing erosion.
The velocity flow rate through the meter is very
low (2m/s).
Therefore to eliminate dropout from suspension
the meter is mounted vertically.

Loading Rack in Kazakhstan
The installation is a two-sided rail tanker loading rack for
loading oil of commercial quality.
60 Optimass 7300 T50s are used for measuring the loading
from the respective tanks.
This loading rack is installed at the Western Branch of
KazTransOil J SC in Atyrau, Kazakhstan. KazTransOil is the
national oil transporter in Kazakhstan accounting for 80% of
all oil transported in the country and operates more than
6,400 km of oil pipelines and 3,140 km of water pipelines.

The NEW Standard with Entrained Gas Management (EGM )
Entrained Gas Management
Measurement from 0 to 100 % gas entrainment
(Two-phase flow) due to:
New era of sophisticated synthesised drive control
Dynamically matched sensor system
Benefits
No loss of measurement with 0 to 100% air
entrainment
Measurement process continues even under noisiest
conditions
No disruption to difficult processes, which would
require long term start up procedures
Applications
Chemical & petrochemical industry
Condensate measurement in Oil & Gas
Supercritical gases, LPG and LNG
Bunkering
Celebrated gas performance!

A Swiss OEM had tried to use an established European mass flow meter for high
viscosity, aerated ink components. Some components worked well others the meter
stopped measuring. They saw a demo rig for EGM at Achema, in J une 2012.
We installed a trail meter in their test facility and within two hours the customer was
happy to continue the trial on their own.

The trail has resulted in an order
for 8 x Optimass 6400 - S25
Process:
Product: Ink components
Flow: 500 kg/h

Comments
The test results are a good example of the enhanced performance of the Optimass
6400
Meter continued to measure even with 50/50 mixture of water/air
All mass flow measuring errors were <5%
Errors were reproducible with similar conditions
Better results are obtained when the liquid/gas are well mixed, and at higher
nominal flowrates.
When selecting meter, try to avoid over-sizing!

Our thanks to Tominey Feng & J in J inming for making these tests & for sharing the
results with us.
