Best Practices for Selecting Flow Metering Technology, TAPPICon24

There are many challenging flow measurements in a Pulp and Paper mill, from noisy stock flows, aggressive chemicals, abrasive materials, and high process temperatures, to varying steam quality and fuels. Selecting and installing the right technology and configuration is critical for effective flow measurement in the mill. Typical Flow Measurement Goals include stable, accurate measurements of flow and density across a variety of challenging fluids, reducing downtime and maintenance costs due to flow meter failure, and low total cost of ownership.

Our objective will be to review the most common flow meters used. We’ll highlight the benefits and limitations of each flow technology. An important consideration of instrumentation is spending capital strategically; paper mills struggle to know when to rebuild equipment on the paper machine or buy instrumentation to better control the process. Mills are using tools to help them run their assets more efficiently to prevent over-maintenance or critical failures. Flow technology can provide this information. Sustainability objectives require review of environmental issues and mills must carefully operate their processes to properly sustain the environment.
