Ethanol Plant Measurement of Corn Oil
Micro Motion™ G-Series opens opportunity for mass flow measurement points to improve processes
Improve your tank measurement with Coriolis technology
Corn oil is pulled from the distillation column and pumped into a holding tank. Tank level has been used to monitor oil production, but is not reliable or accurate due to changing temperatures typical to this process. Coriolis flow meters are great alternative for measuring corn oil in ethanol plants since mass flow measurement allows for better process measurement independent of changing temperatures, ensuring consistent and accurate production monitoring. The ultracompact Micro Motion G-Series Coriolis Flow and Density Meter is a cost-effective solution that provides real-time density data, which can be used to optimize the distillation process and improve product quality.
