ULTRASONIC FLOW METERS

Sustainable Business

Flow Meters & Sustainable Business Sustainability is an issue that is frequently discussed in business circles

Aside from the clear environmental involvement from water and energy efficiency, the rising costs of energy bills are forcing business to introduce more sustainable measures

Sustainability however, creates the opportunity for commercial success. Many companies are reporting reduced costs and higher profits since installing efficiency measures

The manufacturing industry often uses vast amounts of water and energy to power the production process

In finding ways to cut water and energy usage, the savings could be substantial

Flow Meters & Sustainable Business Businesses would not invest in sustainability measures if it meant

compromising quality standards, if it made it more difficult to meet regulatory targets or it were disruptive to the overall processes

However, introducing devices to monitor and reduce energy and water usage also has many benefits

A fantastic example of this would be the Ultrasonic Flow Meter

This monitors the flow of water and heat and have been used in a range of industries including pharmaceutical, automotive and waste management

Ultrasonic Flow Meters Ultrasonic Flow Meters read the flow of the specific liquid used in any

industrial process

It then monitors the flow and presents the data on an easy to read screen

Flow Meters can monitor the flow of liquids in areas that aren’t easily viewed, such as less accessible areas of the process and pipework

Through constantly monitoring flow, it is a valuable tool in maintaining optimum levels of water or heat throughout the process

Ultrasonic Flow Meters Ultrasonic Flow Meters can also support the achievement of quality

standards, particularly in processes where accuracy is critical, such as the production of pharmaceuticals

By minimising the risk of a process running dry or over-filling, Ultrasonic Flow Meters are also a preventative measure

They can reduce the risk of faulty batches and damage to machinery, both of which could incur significant costs

Meeting Regulations Due to the real threat of both water and energy shortages, the Government have

introduced a number of initiatives to encourage efficiency measures

These include the ‘carrot’ and ‘stick’ initiatives, showing an increasing number of regulations regarding energy and water use

From the design and build of new facilities and equipment, through to their operation and disposal, businesses are likely to see greater regulations around sustainability

Installing Ultrasonic Flow Meters, whether in new buildings and processes or retro fitting, will help companies to meet current and future regulations

Data produced by the Flow Meter can also be used as evidence of a reduction in water use

Disrupting Processes Ultrasonic Flow Meters can be attached to the exterior of a pipe.

This makes it much more simple to fit them into position without disrupting processes

Permanent Flow Meters can be positioned and left, whilst Portable Flow Meters can be regularly installed and removed to monitor flow during various points in the process

Downtime in a busy manufacturing plant can be very costly. Therefore, the installation of an Ultrasonic Flow Meter will prevent the need to restart the process and will causes minimal disruption
