Summary:Selecting and installing the right technology for effective flow measurement in mill processes reduces variability enabling improvements in plant performance and productivity. Mill operators are constantly looking for ways to improve plant performance and productivity against a background of high energy costs and environmental sustainability. Many processes in the pulp and paper industry rely on the stable and accurate measurement of flow. Magnetic flow meters are widely accepted as the primary flow technology, used in the mill, however problems such as noisy stock flows, aggressive chemicals, abrasive materials, and high process temperatures means that selecting and installing the right technology for individual applications is critical. Powerful diagnostics in the latest generation products and features such as meter self-verification make magnetic flow meters easy to install and use. The accurate and reliable data enabled helps users better manage their production processes by increasing availability, reducing maintenance and operating costs, and improving product quality.
