Precisely controlling the air-to-fuel ratios in power plants ensures optimal energy production and minimal emissions. The unmatched accuracy of Micro Motion Coriolis flow and density meters delivers the performance needed for best possible combustion control in the power industry.
Volumetric flow devices, such as DP, vortex and turbine meters, traditionally used in combustion control simply don’t offer the direct mass measurement accuracy, turndown capabilities or ability to handle pulsating flows to deliver the performance required for power applications. Micro Motion meters enable direct mass-based measurement, robust performance and do not require additional devices to deliver pressure, temperature and compressibility measurement.
One of the greatest advantages of Micro Motion Coriolis is its gas flow measurement accuracy, delivering 0.35% mass accuracy over a large turndown – perfect for fuel gas measurement where 50:1 or greater turndowns are not uncommon. You can’t beat the simplicity and cost savings from using Micro Motion Coriolis in these applications. The benefits are many:
- No calculations needed to arrive at mass flow reading
- No issues if composition or molecular weight changes
- No additional measurements or devices needed for pressure, temperature, and compressibility
- No upstream pipe requirements
- No problem with flow profile, swirl or pulsating flow
- Fewer actual hardware components reduce risk of error
Reliable, sound measurement, regardless of gas composition variations, results in better environmental compliance. With Micro Motion Coriolis and its direct mass, density and temperature measurement, you can count on optimal fuel gas feed and consistency regardless of energy content changes. Your plant will be at maximum productivity with minimum emissions issues.
The value of Micro Motion meters is clear:
- Measure all fluids, slurries and gases with one instrument
- No moving parts result in lower maintenance costs
- Install anywhere with no flow conditioning or straight pipe run required
- Simple and fast installation and commissioning at start-up
