krohne OPTIMASS 2400

Unprecedented Capacity for Bulk Measurement

The OPTIMASS 2400 represents a significant leap forward in Coriolis mass flowmeter technology, specifically engineered for high-capacity applications. As the world’s highest-capacity Coriolis flowmeter for liquids and gases, it is designed to handle immense flow rates up to an astounding 4,600 t/h (169,000 lb/min). Its groundbreaking twin or four straight tube design ensures exceptional accuracy and stability even in the most demanding bulk measurement scenarios. This innovative design minimizes pressure loss and provides a robust solution for industries where accurate fiscal metering and custody transfer are critical, such as oil and gas, as well as for handling bulk products like molasses and raw chemicals.

The Ingenious Straight Tube Design

The OPTIMASS 2400 distinguishes itself with a unique straight tube design. Unlike conventional bent-tube meters, this configuration is far less prone to clogging and offers a more hygienic, self-draining solution, making it ideal for viscous fluids and sanitary applications. The straight tubes also lead to a minimal pressure drop, which reduces the energy required to pump fluids through the system, contributing to greater operational efficiency. This design is also highly resistant to the effects of installation and process vibrations, ensuring that the meter provides consistent and reliable measurements regardless of its environment. The use of high-grade materials like Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steel further enhances its durability and resistance to corrosive media.

Mastering Entrained Gas Flow Conditions

A key innovation in the OPTIMASS 2400 is its Entrained Gas Management (EGM) technology. This feature is crucial for maintaining stable and accurate measurements in liquid applications where a significant amount of gas or air is present. Traditional flowmeters often become unstable or fail completely under such two-phase flow conditions, leading to inaccurate readings and costly process interruptions. The OPTIMASS 2400’s EGM technology ensures continuous operation, even with varying gas fractions, allowing for uninterrupted monitoring and control of the fluid. This capability is especially beneficial in industries like oil bunkering and other fiscal metering operations where entrained gas is a common challenge, guaranteeing fair and precise custody transfer.

Revolutionary Wireless Connectivity for Diagnostics

The OPTIMASS 2400 is designed with modern process control in mind, offering secure wireless connectivity via Bluetooth®. This feature allows for safe and convenient device commissioning, verification, and diagnostics from a distance of up to 20 meters. This wireless access simplifies maintenance tasks, reduces the need for operators to be in close proximity to potentially hazardous processes, and provides a quick way to access real-time data. Combined with its extensive sensor and process diagnostics, including compliance with NE 107, this feature enables proactive problem-solving and minimizes downtime. The seamless integration of digital signal processing ensures high-speed, accurate data transmission for effective process management.

Specific Applications for Heavy-Duty Operations

The OPTIMASS 2400 is purpose-built for a range of demanding applications where high capacity and precision are non-negotiable. Its primary use case is in custody transfer and fiscal metering, particularly within the oil and gas industry for bunkering operations, ensuring accurate measurement for billing and legal purposes. It is also an ideal solution for bulk mass applications involving heavy, viscous products like syrups, molasses, and raw chemicals in the food and chemical sectors. Its high capacity also makes it suitable for large-scale production facilities, where the accurate measurement of incoming or outgoing bulk materials is essential for inventory management and process control.

Meeting the Toughest Industry Standards

The OPTIMASS 2400 is engineered to meet and exceed the most stringent global standards for accuracy and reliability. It is compliant with and certified for custody transfer (CT) applications, holding the highest OIML accuracy class of 0.3. This compliance is critical for applications where the product being measured is exchanged between parties for commercial purposes. Additionally, its robust construction and optional features, such as PED approved secondary pressure containment, ensure safety and reliability even under high-pressure conditions up to 180 barg (2600 psig). The device also holds various marine, hygienic, and explosive environment certifications, demonstrating its versatility and reliability across different industrial settings.

A Comprehensive Suite of Communication Protocols

To ensure seamless integration into any industrial automation system, the OPTIMASS 2400 supports a wide array of communication protocols. In addition to the standard 4-20 mA analogue outputs, it offers digital communication via HART®, Modbus, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, Profibus, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP™. This extensive range of options allows for flexible connectivity and interoperability with virtually any control system, whether new or legacy. This ensures that the flowmeter’s precise measurements can be easily integrated into process control and data acquisition systems, enabling real-time monitoring, data logging, and automated control of the process.
