Thermal Heat flow metering utilizing 

Clamp-On Ultrasonic water measurement 

provides cost-effective, minimal 

disruption, installation and maintenance 

solution for Campus District Heating 

Systems 

CASE 

STUDIES 

Energy 

Kings College - London heats its campus sites 

via a number of boiler houses, generating 

thermal energy for distribution to individual 

buildings via LTHW (Low Temperature Hot 

Water) networks. 

A pilot system of new meters was installed 12 

months ago to identify the thermal energy use 

of individual buildings, facilitate their 

management as Energy Cost Centres and 

provide information for Building Energy 

Labelling in line with European Directives. 

The new meter installations on the Guys 

campus, which represent circa 10% of the 

university is currently being manually read. 

However, the plan is for the meters to be read 

automatically via the university's BEMs system, 

to provide continuously updated information for 

Monitoring and Targeting including benchmark 

comparisons with energy consumption norms 

for the university sector. 

Having considered various 

measurement alternatives 

Clamp-On Ultrasonic 

meters were selected due 

to the installation and 

maintenance/service 

benefits associated with the 

non-invasive technology including low 

cost and minimum disruption installation with 

no system drain down required plus dry 

maintenance and service. Micronics were 

selected as the supplier due to a combination 

of their long-term experience with Ultrasonic 

Clamp-On technology, competitive pricing and 

product performance i.e. best value! 

The initial Pilot scheme includes seven 

Micronics Ultraflo - U2000 - Time of Flight - 

fixed heat meters. The U2000's are used to 

meter the individual thermal energy 

consumption of each building within a cluster 

being fed from a LTHW Energy Centre or 

central Boiler House, which provides 

accountability or a check sum for the energy 

being generated. 

Its too early to establish a direct cost-benefit 

to Kings College. However, improved 

measurement is the first step towards 

improved management, Micronics service has 

been good, the products have performed well 

and Keith McIntyre the university's Energy 

Manager is pleased with the progress to-date. 

There is significant potential for replication 

on-site and the project has demonstrated how 

Clamp-On - Ultrasonic technology could be 

successfully implemented as a cost-effective 

solution to improve heat energy measurement 

and management on similar university sites.

Micronics DFM-IV contributes to 

process quality improvements at 

automotive plant 

CASE 

STUDIES 

Process 

Three DFM-IV Ultrasonic Flow Meters have 

been installed at the Plasticomnium automotive 

plant in Derby as part of a project to improve 

the quality performance of their Spray Booth 

Plant. 

The DFM-IV utilizes an external Clamp-On 

sensor providing reliable measurement 

and control with no Process Contact, Installation 

or in-line Maintenance required. Utilizing 

Doppler technology it monitors the flow rate of 

“difficult” liquids including: paint slurries, 

wastewater, chemicals, acids, abrasives and 

viscous liquids. And is suitable for full pipes 

and any fluid that contains solids such as paint 

or bubbles. 

A strap-on sensor is mounted on the 

outside of a plastic or metal pipe and to 

measure flow an acoustic signal is reflected 

back to the sensor from particles or gas 

bubbles in the fluid. No contact is made with 

the moving fluid and as a consequence there is 

no fouling or scale build-up on the sensor. 

Installation is easy - without shutting down the 

flow system and no pipe cutting or drilling is 

required, providing significant cost savings over 

alternative in-line meters. 

Plasticomnium operate within the automotive 

supply industry providing components for a 

number of leading car manufacturers with 

demanding quality standards and quality 

maintenance and improvement is a continuous 

process. 

Overspray recovery from the booths is by 

water curtains and treatment of the 

contaminated exhaust air and water. The 

interaction or balance between the exhaust air 

and water recovery process is related to the 

quality of the paint finish on the bumper sets 

being sprayed and the DFM-IV's are being used 

to measure the process water flow. 

The contaminated water is 

pumped from the booth 

sumps for chemical 

treatment and removal 

of the paint sludge prior 

to being recycled in the 

process. And a reduction 

in the water flow rate 

because too much paint is 

being collected and 

recovered from the system 

indicates that the process is out of balance and 

corrective measures are required. 

Plant Engineer Mark Cashmore says, "The 

Micronics meters provided a cost-effective way 

of measuring the recycled water flow. We've 

found that if we monitor and manage the water 

component in the system the exhaust air 

component is kept in balance and the result is 

consistent high quality with significant savings 

from reduced reworking of the bumper sets. 

There were some initial snags as you would 

expect with any new system, however, the 

meters have worked well and Micronics service 

response has been good".

Clamp-On Ultrasonic water flow 

measurement provides cost-effective, 

minimal disruption, installation and 

maintenance solution for Combined 

Heat & Power Station. 

CASE 

STUDIES 

Power 

RWE npower Stallingborough is a combined 

Heat and Power Station supplying Electricity 

and Thermal Power (Steam) for their client 

Millennium Inorganic Chemicals on an adjacent 

site. 

The purchase of new meters installed 15 

months ago was driven by changes in 

Environmental Legislation in the area of PPC 

(Pollution Prevention Control) and the subsequent 

need to improve measurement and 

management of raw water usage, process 

water efficiency and effluent discharge. 

Additional motivation was provided throughout 

the continual improvements required by ISO 

14001. 

Having considered various measurement 

alternatives Clamp-On Ultrasonic meters and 

portable instruments were selected due to the 

installation and maintenance/service benefits 

associated with the non-invasive technology. 

And Micronics were selected as the supplier 

due to a combination of their long-term 

experience with Clamp-On technology, 

competitive pricing and product performance. 

Four U2000 - Time of Flight - fixed meters, a 

DFM - Doppler - fixed meter and a Portaflow 

300 - Time of Flight - portable flow and logging 

instrument were purchased as a package. 

The Four U2000's are used to meter - Raw 

water supply to the station from a bore-hole 

and to measure deionized water flows at three 

points in the Station's generating process with 

one of the meters providing a checksum of the 

two earlier process flow measurements. As 

Doppler technology is more suitable for 

turbulent flow measurement the DFM meter 

was selected to monitor plant effluent 

discharge. And the Portaflow 300 is used for 

flow verification and investigations as required. 

There has been no 

direct cost-benefit to 

RWE Npower as 

their raw water is 

supplied by their 

client free of 

charge. However, 

improved measurement and visibility 

has enabled them to improve the plant's 

efficiency and as a consequence less water is 

being consumed, less wastewater is being 

discharged and their client is benefiting from 

lower energy costs! The Micronics products 

have performed well and the RWE Npower 

installation has been an environmental and 

financial success. 

There is no potential for replication on-site, 

however, the project has demonstrated how 

Clamp-On - Ultrasonic technology could be 

successfully implemented to improve efficiency 

as part of an overall Water and Wastewater 

management system on similar sites.
