New magnetic slurry sensor and transmitter

rates is essential to running a plant or mill efficiently –

A new flow measurement solution helps improve product quality, reduce raw mate- rial cost and minimise waste and re-work. Emerson’s Rosemount™ MS Slurry Sensor with the Rosemount 8782 Slurry Transmitter is a slurry magnetic flow meter specifically designed for high noise and slurry applications for use in the mining industry among others. Featuring robust coils and advanced signal processing, a responsive yet stable flow signal is possible even in high noise applications. The Slurry Magnetic Flow Meter, or Slurry Mag, provides a flow measurement solution for customers with fluids that con- tain large solids, mining ore, pulp or sand, or that experience high process noise or signal instability. Featuring the latest advanced signal processing that is the first to adapt to changing process conditions in real time, the Slurry Mag eliminates noise from the flow signal without using exces- sive damping, giving operators confidence in their measurement calculations. Accurate measurement of process flow

that is why the Slurry Magnetic Flow Meter uses advanced signal processing with real- time diagnostics to deliver flow measure- ment confidence and the ability to automat- ically control the loop. The Slurry Mag Meter includes more

standard diagnostics such as the ground- ing and wiring fault detection that helps ensure the meter is installed correctly the first time. Optional advanced process diagnostics help provide insight into per- formance through a high process noise detection diagnostic as well as enable pro- active maintenance in applications where coating may be a concern. The 8782 contains Emerson’s patented Smart Meter Verification capabilities provid- ing a simplified means of troubleshooting

or verifying the meter, taking a process that used to take hours and simplifying it down to minutes. While the 8782 transmitter is designed to work with the MS sensor, it is also com- patible with existing 8707 installations making the performance, signal process- ing and advanced diagnostic capabilities available to anyone who is already using Emerson’s solutions for these challenging applications.
