CASE STUDY: FUEL ADDITIVE FLOW METER

CHALLENGE

A leading international provider of Fuel Additive Process Equipment was looking for a compact flow meter capable of installing right off a dosing pump while providing high accuracy. Testing with several flow technologies proved to be inaccurate or too costly for high volume OEM requirements. Macnaught MX06 and M06 Series Flow Meters were selected for trial evaluations. The client required a very tight install footprint along with high accuracy needs for several differing fuel additives at differing flow rates: Wax Dispersing Additives (WDA), Corrosion Inhibitors, Cetane Improvers, Lubricity Agents and Fuel Stabilizers ranging from 2.8 LPH to 34 LPH.

SOLUTION

-?Both Meters exceeded testing requirements and moved to a phased rollout to 20 initial locations

-?Accuracy proved out at 0.5% of reading due to proven Positive Displacement Oval Gear volumetric flow technology for all additives.

-?Meter placement had no issues with installing off a pump as flow conditioning is not required with MX Flow Meters

-?Meter cost of ownership was in line with budget requirements of 150 to 200 meters per year.
