Krohne - Process Measuring Equipment

Krohne ranks among the world's leading companies involved in the development and production of innovative and reliable process measuring technology and it provides solutions for all sectors around the globe.

Founded in 1921, Krohne has more than 2,400 employees. The company has 14 production sites and 41 Krohne enterprises and joint ventures. Today, China is one of the most important markets for Krohne.

Krohne is a fair and reliable partner to its customers, business partners and employees. The company provides its customers with optimal products and solutions, which always meet or exceed their expectations in terms of quality, performance capability, service and design.

Krohne's customers are registered in diverse industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, water, wastewater, energy, foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, power plants, paper and pulp, etc.

FLOW MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

Krohne has unique expertise in the field of flow measurement. The company not only shows its know-how in standard applications, but also, and particularly, in applications that are demanding and require tailor-made solutions. For Krohne, customer-orientation begins as early as the research and development phase. Many leading products have been developed by the company in cooperation with its customers.

Today, users around the world benefit from Krohne innovations such as magmeters with a ceramic lining for highly corrosive media in chlorine chemistry, and mass flow meters with only one straight tube (ideal for highly viscous media and low flow rates).

KROHNE manufactures the following flowmeters:

• Ultrasonic flowmeters working according to the time-of-flight method
• Electromagnetic flowmeters
• Coriolis mass flowmeters
• Vortex flowmeters with integrated pressure and temperature compensation
• Variable area flowmeters

OIL AND GAS INSTRUMENTATION

Day to day, vast quantities of oil and gas are transported across the globe, refined and transported further. Mature and foolproof technology is essential, but it is the control through instrumentation and visualisation that help make all these processes safe and reliable.

As a global player, KROHNE has a history of introducing innovations to this industry. These have included ultrasonic, electromagnetic and Coriolis flowmetering, radar/TDR level and interface measurement and systems to interpret and communicate the measurements.

CUSTODY TRANSFER FLOW METERING SKIDS

Krohne recognises that highly accurate flowmeters with custody transfer approvals contribute to better profits. KROHNE offers complete metering skids from design and engineering up to start-up and commissioning. Not only does the company take responsibility for the complete system, but also for the primary element of the system, the flowmeter.

Those metering skids typically consist of instrumentation, piping, sampling systems, meter prover systems (for liquid applications), and supervisory control systems with control panels.

Krohne offers turnkey flow metering solutions for crude to refined products, LPG, LNG, CNG and all other liquid and gas products in the oil and gas industry.

PIPELINE LEAK DETECTION

A leak may result in enormous costs for losses and particularly for clean-up. The answer is early warning with Krohne's Leak Detection System (LDS) for all liquid and gas pipelines. Time-tried ultrasonic flowmeters at measuring stations along the line are linked by dedicated, sophisticated software to the Krohne LDS and to the main DCS system. They will produce a warning within seconds, as well as localisation to within 1%. Also, Krohne measures in buckets, not barrels.
