Flow Measurement Systems
PROMECON process measurement control GmbH
PROMECON specializes in the design and manufacture of high-technology measurement systems for the monitoring and optimization of thermal processes.
The big challenge in the Cement Industry
Cement making is a power consuming business. Pyro string and downcomer are perfect spots to lower emissions and save energy with our flow meters. Even efficient vertical roller mills (VRM) offer an optimization potential by better and more reliable raw gas flow measurement. Hot and most dusty gases from rotary kiln, pre-heater tower and clinker cooler can be measured faster, accurately and without any maintenance which opens a huge potential for combustion optimization like the kiln ID fan control.
McON Air :
Reliable flow measurement for hot and dust laden gases
The McON Air flow measurement system, which works according a patented correlation principle. The system measures the time of flight of unique signal patterns created by particles contained in the gas. Because the principle is time based it is accurate and drift free over the entire lifetime.
- Reliable measurement of dust laden gases.
- Temperature range up to 1000 °C/1800 °F
- Drift-free – no calibration, no purging
- Virtually no maintenance
- Turn down ratio up to 25
- No K-Factors – direct time of flight measurement
- Hot tapping solution for full plant availability
