In petrochemical refineries, a multitude of measuring

instruments monitor material transport and conversion.

Flow measurement of the overflash volume, which

is an important indicator for well-adjusted and efficient

column operation, presents a special challenge.

In the BP Oil Refinery Emsland in Lingen, a

clamp-on ultrasonic measuring system measures

non-invasively the heavy gasoil slowly flowing back

during crude oil distillation.
