Flow Monitoring At Sea Water Reverse Osmosis Plant Improves Water Distribution

One of the largest Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants in the MEATI region approached a Panametrics Channel Partner to verify its existing magnetic flowmeters. Due to periodic calibration requirements of the magnetic flow measurement technology, the customer’s Maintenance Team was looking for a practical verification methodology for permanent and/or temporary (portable) solutions on large pipes.

The pipe material was HDPE (high-density polyethylene pipe) and GRP (Glass reinforced Plastic) and the pipe sizes varied from 800mm to 1600mm (32” to 64”).
