Mining companies encounter numerous challenges in the slurry production process. On the one hand, high pressure, highly corrosive substances, and complex operations create extreme conditions in the production environment.
On the other hand, engineers need to measure slurry flow accurately and reliably. This is to maintain a stable and optimized production process. The slurry contains solid particles and chemical corrosive components. These components place great demands on the material quality and performance of the flow meter.
Here are the specific requirements for measurement:
- Pressure Resistance: The fluid pressure in the slurry transport pipeline is relatively high (approximately 10 MPa), a factor that necessitates the utilization of an electromagnetic flow meter that is sufficiently pressure resistant.
- Anti-Interference Ability: Given the mine's complex operating environment, it is imperative that the electromagnetic flow meter exhibit robust electromagnetic interference resistance to ensure the reliability of the data collected.
- Corrosion and Wear Resistance: Slurry is an exciting substance, often containing solid particles and chemically corrosive components (such as sulfides and metal oxides). This means that the flow meter's liner and electrodes must have excellent corrosion and wear resistance.
- Explosion-proof Performance: Given the potential explosion risks in the mining environment, we must design the equipment with explosion - proof features. Since the mining setting has inherent risks of explosion, we need to ensure that the equipment we use is engineered to prevent such hazards.
Our engineers thoroughly analyzed the situation. Then, our team selected a solution for you. This solution includes an electromagnetic flowmeter. The flowmeter has high pressure resistance. It also has explosion - proof functionality and exceptional corrosion resistance. Engineers can chose a flowmeter with lining and electrodes. These are made of specialized materials. This ensures the flowmeter can effectively withstand the wear from solid particles. It can also resist the corrosion from chemicals in the slurry. Moreover, the flowmeter's design meets explosion - proof requirements. It aligns with the strict safety standards of the mining site.
