Process metering pumps

UL 1604 Toughbook™

Using process metering pumps by ProMinent, corrosive, toxic and flammable liquids can be metered with a high level of availability. A reliable metering is guaranteed without any problem at very high backpressures exceeding 3.000 bar and product temperatures ranging between -40°C and +400°C. The pumps also can be used reliably to meter high- to highest-viscosity liquids with a dynamic viscosity of up to 1.000.000 mPas. The diaphragm, hydraulic diaphragm and plunger metering pumps of the series ORLITA with capacities of up to 30m3/h are suitable for on-shore and off-shore applications. They meet the specifications API 675 and are explosion-proof according to ATEX.
ProMinent is the provider of process metering pumps with the largest network of own sales branches. 44 own subsidiaries worldwide and representations in additionally 60 countries guarantee a world-wide availability of the products and short distances to the customer.

V-Cone flow meters

M-PULSe flow meters

V-Cone Flow Meters are designed for the oil sands separation process — its demanding grit, high temperature as well as high-pressure liquid, natural gas, or steam.
This all-purpose flow meter design offers high accuracy and dependable flow measurement for oil sands production and refining in all media. It’s engineered to handle dirty flows, high temperatures, and high pressures at a ±0.5% of flow rate accuracy and ±0.1% repeatability.
No-moving-parts design provides built-in flow conditioning which also nearly eliminates the upstream/downstream straight pipe runs required by almost all other flow meter technologies, notes V-Cone’s manufacturer. The space saving flow meters reduce typical flow meter straight pipe run requirements by up to 70% or more. They need only 0-3 straight pipe diameters upstream and 0-1 downstream for effective operation. V-Cone operates over a 10:1 flow range and supports 0.5 to 120-in. line sizes. It has been tested to conform to API 22.2 for differential pressure flow measurement devices.

Multi-path transit time M-PULSe measurement systems primarily serve custody transfer of liquid petroleum products.
The onshore/offshore flow meters feature patented, intrinsically safe transducer design to eliminate the possibility of sparks. M-PULSe’s spool piece features ATEX Zone 0 Intrinsically Safe certification that allows the system’s use in hazardous environments. Models also seamlessly interface with existing Class I, Div. 1 installations.The instrument’s four-path transit time technology is said to deliver the highest attainable accuracy on practically all liquid petroleum products.

SK ball valves

ORLITA dosing pumps

Swagelok SK multipurpose ball valves are introduced to deliver positive, quarter-turn shutoff for fluid systems in general process and control applications.
These 316 stainless-steel-constructed models feature spring-loaded seats, floating ball, low-torque operation, and compact design. The valves come 1/4, 3/8, 6 mm, and 8 mm for 6,000 psig (413 bar) and -40° to +302°F. (-40° to 150°C.) operation.
SK’s low torque feature allows for easy manual operation and use of smaller pneumatic and electric actuators. SKs are also available with standard Swagelok or ISO 5211-compliant rack and pinion pneumatic actuators.
