Correflow has its origins in a NASA space shuttle project measuring the flow of liquids to the shuttle’s main engines. The product line was formally organized in 1993 to introduce the Correflow Mass Flow Monitor (MFM). This patented system is the first and only real-time, on-line analyzer capable of monitoring catalyst flow into chemical process reactors. The MFM system measures the velocity and concentration of solids in a fluid (gas or liquid) stream yielding true mass-flow measurement for effective process control.

In 1995, the ElectroStatic Monitor (ESM) was introduced to monitor electrostatic activity in fluidized-bed reactor cores, catalyst injection ports and detect entrained resin in carryover lines. These critical measurements have yielded insight into previously unknown process parameters.

The Correflow MFM and ESM have broad applications throughout the chemical, petroleum and polymer industries.

MFM3100
This is the only in-line real time system to measure velocity, concentration, and mass flow of each component in various two-phase mixtures. It is uniquely designed for the measurement of catalyst feed to polyolefin reactors and other two-phase mass flow streams.

ESM3400
This system monitors electrostatic interactions in fluidized bed gas phase reactors and pneumatic conveying systems in real time. Custom solutions can also be designed using progression proprietary technology for unique customer solutions.

Correflux^®3420 (standalone version of the ESM carryover probe)
The Correflux3420 carryover probe detects process upsets by measuring increases in the quantity of entrained particles in gas recycle and discharge lines. This real-time feedback allows for optimization of gas flows and other process conditions and helps protect downstream equipment.

Correstat^®3410 (standalone version of the ESM reactor probe)
By measuring charge imbalances within a gas phase polymerization reactor, this electrostatic probe allows operators to detect potential process upsets such as sheeting or polymer agglomeration.
