Product Overview
The KROHNE OPTIMASS 2400 represents a massive leap forward in high-volume, bulk mass calculation, uniquely engineered with a multi-straight-tube layout. In traditional bent-tube Coriolis meters, processing thick fluids or lines with massive gas pockets drops operational tracking accuracy completely. The OPTIMASS 2400 bypasses these constraints entirely, delivering high precision at massive volume margins while maintaining minimal pressure losses.
::callout{icon="i-lucide-gauge" color="primary"} Entrained Gas Management: Powered by KROHNE's patented EGM™ algorithm, the system dampens the destructive harmonic shifts caused by active gas bubbles or rapid multi-phase liquid-to-gas transitions. It prevents the measuring tubes from stalling, allowing continuous flow diagnostics during complex multi-phase fractions. ::
Non-Technical Overview: Value Proposition
- Zero Meter Stalling: Keeps your operations running smoothly during full-to-empty or empty-to-full transitions. This prevents expensive pipeline safety shutdowns caused by air pockets during terminal swapping phases.
- Massive Bulk Transfer Capacity: Effortlessly monitors thick, aggressive, or viscous fluids up to a massive 4,600 tonnes per hour. This makes it an ideal fit for quick custody tracking during marine rail or ship bunkering.
- Energy-Efficient Flow Geometry: The straight-tube interior design introduces very little friction. This means less pumping power is required to push fluids through the line compared to looping u-tube designs.
- Wireless Inspection Safety: Check flow loops, verify calibration drift, and collect data securely from up to 20 meters away via the OptiCheck Flow Bluetooth app.
Technical Deep-Dive: Multi-Tube Harmonics
Architectural engineers face unique challenges when scaling Coriolis systems up to larger sizes (DN 100 to 400). The OPTIMASS 2400 handles these forces by splitting bulk volumes across twin or quadruple parallel straight-tube configurations. These wetted paths oscillate symmetrically at high frequencies, turning the inner tubes into a robust secondary containment shield. This configuration prevents crosstalk interference from surrounding plant infrastructure, removing the need for specialized upstream or downstream flow straighteners.
