The Krohne UFM 3030 won the prize for 'Most advanced flow technology for measuring biofuels' at the ISA ExpoControl 2008 international trade fair. Alternative fuel sources was one of the most discussed topics at this year's fair in Mexico.
Gerald Cockrell, president of the ISA, and Leopoldo Gonzalez Ramos, sales manager Krohne Mexico, with the award
Jonathan Fiedler, one of the Krohne product specialists, gave a well-attended presentation on the topic: 'Measuring alternative fuels'. Mexico is planning to increase the portion of domestically produced bioethanol when manufacturing automobile gas, thus promoting its own oil industry in the long term.
The UFM 3030 is a universal 3-beam in-line ultrasonic flowmeter for liquids. It features three measuring paths which guarantee reliable measurement, regardless of the flow profile. The advantage of ultrasonic flowmeters like the UFM 3030 is that they have no moving parts or fixtures in the sensor, making them extremely low-wearing and virtually maintenance-free. These characteristics were crucial when it came to the Krohne UFM 3030's award as the most innovative measuring solution. The jury that awards the prize is made up of two members of the ISA, two representatives of Mexico's national oil company PEMEX, and two other industry experts.
