Application
Seawater Desalination
Flow on large seawater intake, brine and product water mains, flow on reverse osmosis trains, and flow checks in desalination plants.
Measures: Intake & brine flow · Product water flow · RO flow

Intake, Brine & Product Water Mains
Desalination plants run large GRP mains, typically above DN600. Fixed clamp-on ultrasonic meters measure from outside the pipe, so nothing is exposed to corrosive seawater or brine, and no large pipe has to be cut. On the largest mains (above 1500 mm) two measuring paths are used.
Reverse Osmosis Train Flows
Direct-reading flowmeters, made for reverse osmosis water systems, show the water flows on each RO train.
Flow Checks
Portable clamp-on meters verify installed meters and check flows on existing lines during maintenance.
