Good Engineering Practices for Flow Measurement in the Chlor-Alkali Process

The chlor-alkali process is a cornerstone of the chemical industry, but it presents significant challenges for instrumentation due to the highly corrosive and aggressive nature of its process and end products. Selecting the right flow measurement technology is critical for ensuring process uptime, minimizing maintenance costs, and, most importantly, enhancing safety. This article outlines key engineering practices for deploying Electromagnetic, Coriolis, and Variable Area (VA) flow meters in this demanding environment.
