Sewage discharge application of electromagnetic flowmeter has a long history

Electromagnetic flowmeter has been applied for more than 50 years and has been widely used in the world. The field involves water/sewage, chemical, pharmaceutical, papermaking, food and other industries. Large-caliber instruments are mostly used in water supply and drainage projects. Small and medium calibers are often used for solids, liquids, or difficult fluids or high demand locations. Small calibers and micro calibers are often used in places where there are health requirements, such as the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, and bioengineering. There are many Kaifeng instrument manufacturers, and Liyuan is the oldest and most technically qualified company.

With the acceleration of China's industrialization process, the problem of environmental pollution has become more and more serious. The voice of society for sustainable development has also been increasing. The concept of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature has been accepted by people and the governance of all kinds of pollution has become more urgent.

1. Measuring principle The working principle of electromagnetic flowmeter is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. When the conductive metal rod moves perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic force line at a certain speed, an induced voltage is generated.

In the electromagnetic flowmeter, the conductive medium in the measuring tube is equivalent to the conductive metal rod in the Faraday test, and two electromagnetic coils at the upper and lower ends generate a constant magnetic field. When there is a conductive medium flowing, an induced voltage is generated. Two electrodes inside the pipe measure the induced voltage generated. The measuring pipe is electromagnetically isolated from the fluid and the measuring electrode by a non-conducting inner lining (rubber, Teflon, etc.).

Assume that the magnetic field strength B of the electromagnetic induction coil is constant, the induced voltage Ue is proportional to the fluid velocity v, and the sectional area A of the pipeline is known, then the volume flow rate Qv can be calculated by the following formula:

Electromagnetic flowmeter consists of flow sensor and transmitter. The sensor measuring tube is equipped with excitation coils above and below, and the magnetic field generated through the excitation current passes through the measuring tube. A pair of electrodes are installed on the inner wall of the measuring tube to contact with the liquid to draw out the induced potential and send it to the transmitter. Excitation current is provided by the transmitter. According to the converter and sensor assembly methods, there are two kinds of separation and integration. In the wastewater treatment process, large diameter flowmeters are mostly split type, with one part installed underground and the other part on the ground. Small caliber is more of a one-piece type.

The functions of electromagnetic flowmeters on the market are also very different. The simple one is to measure one-way flow, only to output the analog signal to drive the rear instrument; multi-function instrument has to measure bidirectional flow, range switching, upper and lower limit flow alarm, air pipe and power supply Cut off the alarm, small signal removal, flow display and total calculation, automatic check and fault self-diagnosis, communication with the host computer and motion configuration. The serial digital communication function of some models of instruments can choose multiple communication interfaces and dedicated chip (ASIC) to connect HART protocol system, PROFTBUS, Modbus, FF field bus and so on.

The scope of the electromagnetic flowmeter is wider than that of other types of flowmeters. E+H offers W, P, and H types of sensors for the water and sewage industries (W type), chemical and food industries (P type), respectively. Food, pharmaceutical industry (H type), caliber range from 2 mm to 2 meters. The transmitter can provide 10, 50, 23, 53 kinds of options, 10 for the economic development of the water industry, 50 for the general type, 53 for the enhanced type, 23 for the two-wire system. Accuracy can be 0.5%, 0.2% two options. Measurable positive and negative bi-directional flow, can also measure pulsating flow.

The prerequisite for using an electromagnetic flowmeter is that the fluid to be measured must be electrically conductive and must not fall below the threshold (ie, the lower limit value). Conductivity lower than the threshold will produce measurement error until it can not be used, even if the change in the threshold value can be measured, the indication error does not change much, general-purpose electromagnetic flowmeter threshold is 10-4 ~ (5 × 10-6) S / cm Between, depending on the model. When used, it also depends on the length of the flow signal line between the sensor and the converter and its distributed capacitance. The manufacturer's instruction manual usually specifies the length of the signal line corresponding to the conductivity.

The conductivity of industrial water and its aqueous solution is greater than 10-4S/cm, the conductivity of acid, alkali, and salt solution is between 10-4 and 10-1S/cm. There is no problem in use, and the low distilled water is 10-5S/. There is no problem with cm. Electromagnetic flowmeters cannot measure liquids with very low electrical conductivity, such as petroleum products and organic solvents. Can not measure gas, steam and liquids containing more large bubbles. From the data, it was found that some pure liquids or aqueous solutions had low conductivity, and they were considered unusable. However, in actual work, there were instances where they could be used due to the presence of impurities. Such impurities are beneficial for increasing the conductivity. For aqueous solutions, the conductivity in the data is measured in the laboratory using the pure water ratio. The actual aqueous solution may be formulated with industrial water, the conductivity will be higher than that found, and it is also favorable for flow measurement.

2. Electromagnetic flowmeter features

The electromagnetic flowmeter is not influenced by external factors such as temperature, pressure, viscosity, etc., and there is no pressure loss due to shrinkage or projection inside the measuring tube. In addition, the initial signal detected by the flow element is an accurate linear relationship with the average flow velocity of the fluid. The varying voltage, which has nothing to do with the other properties of the fluid, has great advantages. According to the sewage has the characteristics of large flow variation, impurities, low corrosion, certain conductivity, etc., to measure the flow of sewage, electromagnetic flowmeter is a good choice. It is compact and small in size. Easy to install, operate and maintain, the measurement system adopts intelligent design, and the overall seal is strengthened, so it can work normally in harsh environments. For vortex flowmeters due to technical reasons, it is difficult for the caliber to be large and the quality and quality of ultrasonic flowmeters in pipelines are inferior to those of electromagnets. Therefore, in the water and sewage industries, electromagnetic flowmeters, especially large-diameter electromagnetic flowmeters, have a great advantage and have been used very commonly.

3. Installation requirements The PROMAG series of electromagnetic flowmeters offers protection class IP67 (dust-proof and anti-immersion water level) or IP68 (dust-proof, submersible-grade). Large-diameter flowmeter sensors are mostly installed underground in wastewater treatment plants, so it is recommended to use IP68 (dust-proof submersible). Usually electromagnetic flow has all the following requirements for the installation site:

1) When measuring the mixed phase fluid, select the place that will not cause phase separation; when measuring the two-component liquid, avoid installing in the downstream where the mixing is not uniform; when measuring the chemical reaction pipeline, install it in the downstream of the reaction fully completed segment; Meet the straight pipe before and after the paragraph is not less than 5D and 2D;

2) Avoid as much as possible negative pressure in the measuring tube;
