Micro Motion Coriolis meters provide mass and volume flow, liquid density and temperature measurements all from a single device.  Sustained measurement performance under challenging and varying process conditions involving liquids, slurries and gases has made Micro Motion Coriolis the meters of choice for a broad range of refining applications.  

Field proven, accurate and reliable flow / density measurements with Micro Motion Coriolis technology have contributed to:

• Responsible operations for safety, health and environmental compliance
• Increased reliability of operations
• Reduced unplanned shutdowns and extend the time between turnarounds
• Maximizing throughput of the refinery and it’s key processes
• Reduced operational and maintenance related costs

Refining Industry Applications

Micro Motion meters are used in a range of Refining industry applications:

• Process unit mass balance
• Refinery loss control
• Custody transfer of crude oil and refined products
• Process evaluation & optimization
• Feed characterization and product quality control
• Concentration measurement, including acid for alkylation
• Fuel gas measurement
• Hydrogen production
• Chemical additives
• Gasoline, distillate, lube, and asphalt blending
• Leak detection
• Interface detection

Benefits for the Refining Industry

The  advantage of Micro Motion meters is clear:

• Measure mass flow, volume flow, density, and temperature with a single device
• No moving parts results in no maintenance or repair
• Install anywhere with no flow conditioning or straight pipe run required
• Accuracy over a wide flow range from a single meters to optimize plant efficiency
• Repeatable, direct mass flow measurement eliminates problems of volume measurement
• Improved measurement performance under entrained gas conditions
• Advanced diagnostics for in-line meters integrity
• Safety certified flowmeter for use in up to SIL 3 loops, per IEC 61508
