(Virtual Showroom) Reliable, Non-Contact Density and Mass Flow Measurement for Modern Energy Applications

Accurate and dependable process measurement is vital in the energy industry. VEGA delivers advanced nucleonic solutions designed for challenging energy production, processing, and transport environments.

Non-Contact Density Measurement for Liquids and Bulk Solids

The MINITRAC 31 radiometric sensor is engineered for reliable, non-invasive density measurement of both liquids and bulk solids. Functioning as a point detector, it determines the density of materials from outside the vessel or pipeline—eliminating the need for direct contact and minimizing contamination risks. This feature is particularly valuable for the energy sector, where process integrity and safety are paramount.

Offering remarkable versatility, the MINITRAC 31 can be installed on vessels of any shape or geometry, as well as on pipelines, regardless of space constraints or challenging access conditions. Its compact design supports easy integration into existing infrastructure, making it ideal for retrofitting without interrupting ongoing production processes.

The MINITRAC 31 radiometric sensor offers several key benefits that make it an exceptional choice for density measurement within the energy sector. Designed with ease of use and operational efficiency in mind, this sensor provides significant advantages for operators across oil and gas processing, power generation, and other energy applications.

One of the primary advantages of the MINITRAC 31 is its ability to be seamlessly retrofitted and installed onto existing infrastructure, such as vessels or pipelines, without requiring production to be halted. This enables energy facilities to upgrade their measurement capabilities quickly and efficiently, minimising downtime and disruption to ongoing operations.

The sensor consistently delivers precise measurement results, maintaining accuracy even when process conditions fluctuate. Its reliable performance ensures that operators can depend on the data provided for critical process decisions, regardless of changes in material properties or environmental factors.

Thanks to its non-contact, low-maintenance design, the MINITRAC 31 helps facilities maximise plant uptime. By eliminating moving parts and reducing maintenance requirements, the sensor supports continuous, uninterrupted operation—an essential feature for the demanding environments of the energy sector.

By combining high precision, operational flexibility, and reliability, the MINITRAC 31 establishes a new standard for density measurement in energy applications. Its proven capabilities across diverse settings, from oil and gas to power generation, underscore its value as a leading solution for modern energy operations.

Precision Mass Flow Monitoring for Bulk Solids

The WEIGHTRAC 31 radiometric sensor introduces a robust solution for mass flow measurement of bulk solids, a critical requirement in energy production and distribution. Its durable frame allows for seamless retrofitting onto existing conveyor belts or integration into conveyor spirals, ensuring accurate throughput monitoring without disrupting material flow.

Designed for straightforward installation, the WEIGHTRAC 31 enables operators to achieve exact volume measurement with minimal downtime. Its non-contact operation eliminates moving parts, significantly reducing maintenance needs and enhancing long-term reliability, all essential qualities for busy energy sector facilities.

With its practical and efficient approach to bulk solid flow monitoring, the WEIGHTRAC 31 delivers uncompromising precision and durability, supporting uninterrupted process control and helping energy sector operators maintain optimal performance.

Empowering the Future of Energy

VEGA’s nucleonic measurement solutions, including the MINITRAC 31 and WEIGHTRAC 31, are designed to meet the unique challenges of the energy sector. By enabling non-contact, maintenance-free monitoring of critical process parameters, these sensors help operators enhance safety, boost productivity, and ensure consistent quality—paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable energy future.
