ABB shares pulp & paper flowmetering expertise with new publications

Listen to this article

ABB has released two new guides providing tips on flowmeter selection for pulp and paper applications. The Instant Guide to flow measurement in pulp and paper applications compares the benefits of DC and AC electromagnetic flowmeters for pulp and paper production lines and explains which type of flowmeter is best suited to specific tasks.

Available in pdf format, the guide provides a comprehensive explanation of the technologies available, including a comparison of their respective advantages. Also included are hyperlinks to further publications providing relevant useful information.

The second publication ABB AC-Master ensures consistent production performance forCaledonian Paper, is a factfile based on an application at the UPM Caledonian Paper plant in Ayshire. The factfile explains how installing an AC flowmeter helped overcome production problems, resulting in greatly enhanced measurement accuracy.

Traditionally, AC excitation magmeters have tended to hold a dominant position over their ‘pulsed DC” excitation counterparts due to their ability to deliver more accurate measurement in the noisy conditions inherent in paper production applications. However, recent technological advances have helped to overcome these problems, opening up new avenues for the use of pulsed DC magmeters in pulp and paper applications and providing a lower cost alternative to AC magmeters in certain applications.

ABB”s new ProcessMaster pulsed DC flow meter, for example, now offers an increased excitation frequency which runs up to four times as fast as its previous DC-powered models. Modern magnetic materials and the inclusion of new fast noise reduction algorithms and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology enable a fast flow response even in noisy applications.
