Simplifying scrubber systems
Forbes Technologies benefits from Proline Promag W 10 with 0 x DN full-bore design and Bluetooth®
Forbes Technologies supplies scrubbers, storage tanks and other vessels into a variety of industries. The company relies on instrumentation from Endress+Hauser for its skid-mounted scrubber systems. It uses level switches, radar level devices, pressure transmitters, pH sensors and the flowmeter Promag W 10 with Bluetooth®. The option “0 x DN full bore” ensures optimal performance, regulatory compliance and efficient removal of harmful emissions from industrial processes.

The customer requirement
In the past, ensuring accurate measurements after pipe bends, fittings, or control valves required an inlet length of at least five pipe diameters for most electromagnetic flowmeters – a significant challenge in close-knit pipelines. Another issue: The chemical storage tanks can be up to 15 meters tall, making on-site commissioning and operation difficult. To test the control system it was necessary to manually fill tanks with water, which took several hours.
Our solution
The compact flowmeter Proline Promag W 10 with 0 x DN full-bore design requires no inlet or outlet runs and enables measurements with high accuracy even directly downstream of pipe bends without pressure loss. Another feature of the Endress+Hauser portfolio is the SmartBlue app to access instrumentation via Bluetooth® connectivity in hard-to-reach places and to support safer maintenance and commissioning. The app can also be used to generate readings to test control sequences.
