Refining and transporting crude oils needs a wide variety of additives, ranging from basic surfactants to complex blended scale and corrosion inhibitors. The additives need to be injected at high pressure and in small quantities and they play a pivotal role in in the refinery’s process.

It is therefore very important to monitor this part of the process very accurately, a precise yet versatile instrument is needed to make precise measurements with a variety of different liquids, with very different levels of viscosity, density and other physical characteristics. Titan Enterprises’ Oval Gear range of flowmeters come in a variety of materials, standard versions are made of 316 stainless steel, aluminium or PEEK materials – with pressure ratings ranging from 50 – 700 bar. These devices provider operators with a high level of chemical resistance, performance and repeatability of 0.1%

The NAMUR sensor or reed switch (simple apparatus) may be used in hazardous areas. Titan also offer models with alternative features, materials mountings and high-pressure options for OEM specific applications. 

For hazardous areas either the Namur sensor or the reed switch (simple apparatus) may be used. For OEM specific application, alternative features are available with material, mounting and high-pressure options.
