In today's era of rapid development of science and technology, electromagnetic flowmeter as a high-precision, multi-functional flow measurement instruments, with its unique advantages, widely penetrated in many industry sectors, to promote the development of various fields of competent “assistant”.
Water moistens everything: water and sewage treatment fields show their hands
Water, the source of life, the stable operation of urban water supply system is crucial. Electromagnetic flow meter is like an accurate “water detective”, quietly guarding the water supply network. In the waterworks of major cities, they introduce the raw water from the source and send it through the transmission pipeline to thousands of households after treatment.
Electromagnetic flow meter installed in the main pipeline and branch lines, real-time monitoring of water flow and flow rate. Beijing, for example, its large and complex water supply system with the help of electromagnetic flowmeter, realize the fine management. In the daily water supply, the water plant uses the flow meter feedback data to accurately adjust the pump power. This way, the water pressure in different areas stays stable and balanced, and high-rise households don't have to worry about lacking water pressure anymore.
In the sewage treatment process, when dealing with sewage that has a complex composition and lots of impurities, the electromagnetic flowmeter shows more and more prominent advantages. In Shanghai, there is a large sewage treatment plant. It has to handle huge amounts of sewage every day. The electromagnetic flowmeter isn't affected by things like sediment and fibers in the sewage. It can accurately measure the amount of sewage that enters the plant. This measurement gives a key basis for the subsequent processes like precipitation, aeration, and filtration.
Once the flow of sewage into the plant fluctuates abnormally, the staff can quickly find out what the problem is and adjust the treatment program in time. This way, they make sure the sewage meets the discharge standard and protect the city's ecological environment.
The new chemical power: help the chemical industry take off
Chemical industry production process is complex, involving many corrosive, conductive fluid media, electromagnetic flow meter here to find a broad “stage”. In the chlor-alkali chemical production, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda and other highly corrosive chemicals flow control is the key. In a chlor-alkali plant in Shandong, they installed an electromagnetic flowmeter made of special materials on the production line. It accurately measures the flow of electrolyte, protects the electrolytic tank with stable feed, and helps maintain an efficient electrochemical reaction.
Once, the upstream raw materials had an unstable supply. It led to a slight deviation in the electrolyte flow. The electromagnetic flowmeter keenly caught this change and gave timely feedback to the control system. Then, the operator quickly adjusted the parameters. This way, they avoided fluctuations in product quality and ensured the smooth operation of the production line.
Fine chemical industry on the accuracy of the material flow requirements are almost harsh. In Jiangsu, there's an enterprise that makes pharmaceutical intermediates. During the synthesis reaction process, even a tiny change in flow can lead to serious problems. The electromagnetic flowmeter has very high measurement accuracy. It monitors the flow of reaction materials in real-time and acts like “eyes” for the operator to precisely control the reaction process. In one production, the flow meter found that the flow of a key material was lower than the standard value. Right away, the staff checked what was wrong and adjusted the feed pump. They successfully prevented side reactions and ensured the smooth production of high-purity pharmaceutical intermediates.
Precision on the Tip of the Tongue: Guarding the Quality of Food and Beverages
The food and beverage industry matters a lot for consumers’ taste experience and their health and safety, so it needs highly precise control in the production process. In Zhejiang, there’s a famous fruit juice manufacturer. After fresh fruits are juiced, when it comes to the blending process, the electromagnetic flowmeter strictly monitors the flow of fruit juice raw materials. Using the real-time flow data, the automated system accurately controls how fast to add sugar, additives and other ingredients. This ensures that each bottle of juice has the same taste and sweetness, letting consumers enjoy the original flavor.
In Qingdao's brewery, wort fermentation before canning process, electromagnetic flow meter also plays a key role. It accurately controls the flow of finished beer so that the capacity of each can of beer meets the standard exactly, and avoids under- or over-filling. When the tourist season arrives and beer orders soar, the production line can rely on the stable monitoring and fast feedback of electromagnetic flow meters to adjust the canning speed in time. This way, it meets the market demand and also ensures the stability of product quality. This series of products from Siemens can help factories monitor the canning speed of beverages in real time.
SIEMENS MAG5000/MAG6000 series
High measurement accuracy: With an accuracy of ±0.4%, it can accurately measure the flow rate of cola syrup, water and carbon dioxide to ensure that each can of cola has a precise proportion of ingredients and a consistent flavor.
Multiple output signals: Output signals include 4-20mA, frequency, control inputs, relay alarm contacts, etc., which can be easily integrated with the control system of the canning production line to realize automated control and monitoring.
Good compatibility: It supports various communication protocols such as HART, PROFIBUS PA/DP, MODBUS, etc., and can communicate with the upper computer, PLC and other devices for remote monitoring and management.

Energy artery escort: to protect the stability of energy and electricity
Energy and power field is the cornerstone of national development, electromagnetic flowmeter plays an important role in it. In thermal power stations, the cooling circulating water flow of the turbine condenser is directly related to the stable operation of the unit. In a large-scale thermal power station in Guangdong, there is an electromagnetic flowmeter. It monitors the cooling circulating water flow all day and all night.
If the flow rate drops in an unusual way, it shows that there might be some problems. Problems could be pipeline blockage or pump failure. Right away, the flowmeter gives an alarm. Then, the operation and maintenance staff react fast. They solve the problem without delay. By doing so, they stop the turbine from getting damaged by overheating. And they make sure the power station can supply power continuously.
In the oil and gas transmission project, the electromagnetic flowmeter accurately measures the flow of crude oil and natural gas associated water. It gives key data to optimize the transmission process. Take an oil and gas pipeline in Xinjiang for example. Facing complex geological conditions and a changeable climate, the electromagnetic flowmeter monitors flow changes in real-time. It helps the staff adjust the transport parameters reasonably, which reduces energy consumption. In this way, it ensures that the oil and gas resources are safely and efficiently transported to all parts of the country and injects a strong impetus into the development of the energy industry.
Conclusion
The electromagnetic flowmeter has accurate, reliable, and adaptable excellent characteristics. It spreads across different industries and provides a solid guarantee for the prosperity of various fields. It also continues to write a wonderful chapter of industry empowered by science and technology.
