Cement Industry is one of the crucial core sectors for the development of construction and infrastructure with currently approx. 4.4 billion Tonnes of cement was produced in the world in the year 2021. The largest cement producer is China with more than 55% capacity and thereafter India accounts for the second largest product with around 7% of capacity. After the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a sudden rise in demand from rural and urban infrastructural developments across the world and mostly in undeveloped countries. Initiatives such as the Smart City project by India will see a long-term demand for cement products which will see huge technological upgradation of existing cement plants for cost and energy optimization. The cement industry is one of the most intensive energy consumers in the industrial sectors. Energy consumption represents 40% to 60% of production costs. Additionally, the cement industry contributes around 5% to 8% of all man-made CO2 emissions. Due to increasing deman

Within this blog, we will discuss the different types of thermal mass flowmeter technologies. Thermal mass flowmeters operate on the principle where a heat source is applied to the inlet of the mass flow meter and is then transmitted from one part of the device to another, increasing in temperature (gain an amount of q) based on its thermal resistance. The change in temperature as a function of time causes a corresponding change in thermal conductance (change in convective heat transfer coefficient h). As fluid flows through a pipe it changes its speed due to frictional forces and if there is a thermocouple placed at various points within this pipe can determine how much varying thermal power dissipation occurs within that length by relating it back to a known conduit’s temperature gradient. Let us discuss the types of thermal mass flowmeters: 1. INSERTION THERMAL MASS FLOW METER if we have large pipes and don’t want to cut them, then maybe we can use an insertion thermal mass flow sen

  In steel industries Blast furnaces have a key role in smelting iron ore together with fuel (coke) and flux (limestone) continuously supplied from the top of the furnace. Hot blast air with oxygen enrichment is blown into the lower section of the furnace through a series of pipes (tuyeres).  This results in chemical reactions while material falls downwards in the furnace.  Flue gas ( Blast furnace gas) a low calorie will exit from the top of the furnace which in turn is used in other low heating furnaces in other steel processes.  Blast furnace gas  typically consists of mainly N2(50-55%), CO (20-25%), CO2(16-18%) etc. It contains some moisture content and carbon particle dirt sticky in nature but cleanable. Leomi provides a  Leomi-586 Insertion Thermal Mass flowmeter  which works excellent in these demanding applications against existing Orifice Or Averaging Pitot tube-based DP type flow transmitters. THE MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF INSERTION THERMAL MASS FLOWMETER IN THIS APPLICATION: Measu

Biogas   is a renewable energy source that can be produced from various organic waste materials. To maximize the efficiency of biogas production and ensure optimal energy management, it is crucial to have accurate and efficient compressed biogas flow measurement systems in place. One of the most reliable and cost-effective techniques for biogas flow measurement is the insertion of thermal mass flow meters. In this blog post, we’ll explore the advantages of using insertion thermal mass flow meters for biogas flow measurement.   THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE BIOGAS FLOW MEASUREMENT The measurement of biogas flow is essential for efficient energy production and management. Accurate  compressed biogas flow measurement  helps to optimize process control, reduce costs, and ensure safety. Inaccurate measurement of biogas flow can lead to reduced energy output, damage to equipment, and safety hazards. Moreover, precise biogas flow measurement is critical for complying with regulatory requirements
