Glycol Flow Meters Case Study

CHALLENGE

A Major International Food Processing Client required highly accurate Glycol Flow Measurement in a Classified Hazard Ex ia Environment. Previous flow instruments did not provide the batching accuracy required for numerous different Propylene and Ethylene Glycol fluids combined with various proprietary blended chemistries. Each product recipe involved multiple batch configurations – all requiring exact volumetric accuracy.

Finished products included vaporization products, heat exchange blends, glycol water products, heat transfer fluids, antifreeze liquids and other glycol based chemicals.

SOLUTION

Macnaught’s MX40 1.5" Positive Displacement Flow Meter with our globally approved Intrinsically Safe output was selected based on process volume flow requirements.

Combined with the customers PLC based batching logic, the MX40 meters provided proven .5% volumetric accuracy and excellent repeatability results. Reject batches were eliminated resulting in immediate product cost savings and improved operator efficiencies.
