Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document discusses the challenges faced by coal-fired power plant managers and the solutions provided by advanced Coriolis flow and density measurement technologies. It emphasizes the need for accurate, reliable instruments to improve operational flexibility and efficiency while meeting environmental regulations.

Challenges in Coal-Fired Power Plants
Plant managers must ensure safety, comply with environmental regulations, minimize outages, and improve heat rates. Traditional flow measurement technologies require frequent calibration and lack the accuracy of Coriolis meters.

Benefits of Coriolis Flow Meters
  • Improved energy/mass balance and thermal cycle efficiency.
  • Accurate heat rate calculations and robust solutions for condensate/boiler feed water flows.
  • In-line viscosity readings for liquid fuels and certified devices for fiscal custody transfer.

Environmental Compliance
  • Accurate measurement of urea/ammonia for NOx pollution reduction.
  • Reliable flow measurements for various services to meet effluent stream regulations.

Safety and Operational Efficiency
  • Ensures proper flow and quality of lubricating oil and H2 cooling systems.
  • Accurate measurement of molten sulfur and slurry flows.

Applications in Coal-Fired Power Plants
  • Custody transfer of liquid fuels and chemicals.
  • Flow measurements for boiler start-up and viscosity control.
  • Monitoring of steam, lube oil, and H2 flows.

Measurement Technologies
  • Micro Motion and Rosemount devices offer high accuracy and reliability.
  • Smart Meter Verification ensures meter calibration remains within specifications.

Conclusion
Emerson's flow and density measurement technologies provide reliable, repeatable, and high-performance solutions for coal-fired power plants, enhancing efficiency, safety, and compliance.

Smart Meter Verification EMERSON world-leading FLOW and DENSITY technology setS the standard for reliable, repeatable, high performance measurement Coriolis flowmeters have no moving parts, and the expectation is that the meter calibration will never change. However, corrosive or erosive fluids may alter the flow tube wall thickness and change the meter's calibration. To prevent this, Smart Meter Verification measures the meter’s mechanical characteristics to a very high accuracy. When a change in the tube’s stiffness is detected, meter verification determines whether performance remains within...
