This looks interesting, is your plan to offer it as service as well? If so, I will be interested for my clients. Do report back on how your project is moving.

Vibrational density meters work well in these, now there are offering which are self-cleaning so you do not have to manually clean them anymore, you want to look at those - they pay for themselves with saved time and better reliability of readings. Advantage over ultrasonic is you do not need to...

Coriolis meters have historically suffered when gas percentage is high. However there has been some development from Krohne on this. I saw them demonstrating a coriolis at a show where they were blasting air through. In my own use of coriolis meter, I have unfortunately not had much luck and...

this is a old thread, adding some new instruments that one should look at https://inmec-instruments.com/blogs/blog/milk-of-lime-density-a-new-application-for-inmec-brix-sensors Can be installed in the line...

Modbus is definitely the easiest of the bunch to use. Both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. It is a old protocol and does not support some of the new security requirements (which themselves are a big issue for automation professionals to setup). Ethernet/IP and Profinet has its quirks. Generally...

Yes, I have been keeping an eye on how the technology is improving. I think ultrasonics has potential due to the non-contact nature - though it brings its own issues on how to couple the US wave. Vibrational might be the one that may be able to get us a suitable option with abrasion resistant...

this is great!! I will try this out and give you my feedback.
