Process Gas Measurement Solutions Superior flow and density measurement Best-in-class measurement
Feedstock and utility gases are essential to your operation but are also diffi cult to measure, hard to contain, and often highly dangerous. Older technologies you rely on to manage gas fl ows were designed for yesterday’s manufacturing environment – not for the increased demands, faster turnarounds, or safety and environmental regulations you are dealing with today. Traditional volumetric devices don’t provide the accuracy or fl exibility you needto compete.
what if you could …Ensure worker, community and environmental safety
✓ Eliminate up to 90% of potential leak points compared to installing a traditional orifi ce run
✓ Minimal calibration requirements eliminates unnecessary maintenance
✓ Smart Meter Verifi cation for Coriolis meters protects workers by assuring meterperformance online and helps document audit trails
✓ Critical alarms alert you to abnormal process conditions so you can address process upsets early
Reduce production costs and increase profitability
✓ Direct mass measurement of gas controls your air/fuel ratio, optimizes fuel gas usage, and reduces fuel waste
✓ No wearing parts in the meter minimizes the need for calibration or maintenance
✓ A single meter handles measurement of multiple products and recipes without calibration
✓ Measure mass directly, with highest possible accuracy and over a wide fl ow range, means you will achieve product specifi cations with reduced waste
Meet increasing customer demands
✓ Ensure faster, on-spec batches and realize processes that are easier to repeat
✓ Keep your process and recipes fl owing with meters that need no calibration between changing recipes or batches, regardless of gas turndown
✓ Eliminate pressure and temperature compensation and achieve direct mass measurement to improve process control and fl exibility in manufacturing
A chemical processing company installed Micro Motion meters on three chlorine lines feeding each unit—immediatelyreducing seven potential leak points per line to two.

Plant operators worldwide are choosing Micro Motion® and Rosemount® measurement technologies for process gas applications to gain measurement precision and flexibilitywhile, at the same time, minimizing the risk to workers, the environment, and the surrounding community.
• Measure mass directly with high precision, so you won’t need additional instrumentation to calculate flow rate, nor will you have to take your process down for unnecessary calibration.
• Gain the flexibility to expand your turndown capacity, which means you can accommodate a wider range of customer demands without placing undue pressure on your infrastructure.
• Achieve a simplified installation – a single unit with process end connections eliminates up to 90% of potential leak points, dramatically improving safety.
combustion control
• Minimize the effect of variations in fuel
• Improve ability to control air to fuel ratio and operate
more efficiently
• Reduce NOx through improved combustion control
• Reduce potential safety hazards associated with
excess fuel
custody Transfer / check Metering / Allocation

• A large plant can incur losses of $5,000 to $10,000 per day—or more—due to leakage.1
• The cost of rework, scrap and overcoming production delays resulting from quality problems can cost a company 20-40% of total manufacturing costs.2
