In-line conductivity meter MLA1000

digitalfor kerosene

On their way from the refinery to the tank farm to the airport, light mineral oils such as kerosene flow through pipelines. Rolling and hydraulic oils circulate through pumps and filters to the storage tank. As the conductivity of these oils is low, there is a high risk of electrostatic charging. By using the MLA1000 for the stationary measurement of electrical conductivity, airports, pipeline operators or refueling companies can improve the safety of fuel transports and reduce the use of additives. Light mineral oils can thus be monitored in-line, directly and continuously. The conductivity meter is also used as standard with silicone oils and solvents in technical and industrial processes. In our animation you can learn more about the measuring process. BENEFITS CONTROLL The measurement system allows a complete record of the electrical conductivity of incoming and outgoing oil. MEASURING ACCURACY With continuous feedback of the electrical conductivity the additive can be injected economically. FLOW RATE The MLA1000 conductivity meter uses the flow rate within a pipeline SAFETY If the electrical conductivity falls below the critical value, the measuring system will give an immediate warning. BACKGROUND The Technical Rule for Hazardous Substances TRGS 727 describes the “safe handling of liquids and the avoidance of ignition hazards due to electrostatic charging”. This technical guideline recommends to check and document the conductivity in case hazards due to electrostatic charging. The MLA1000 can measure the average conductivity from 50 to 15.000 picosiemens/meter (pS/m), thus ensuring a high level of safety when conveying and handling hazardous liquids.
