Coke Plant Gas and Water Monitoring
Clamp-on Solutions Allow Coke Plants to Avoid Process Interruption
Clamp-on ultrasonic technology boosts efficiency
A coke plant is essential in metal manufacturing, particularly in steel production, as it produces coke, which serves as both a reducing agent and fuel in the blast furnace. Coke is used to reduce iron ore to iron by providing carbon for chemical reactions and supplying the high temperatures needed to melt the ore. Its porous structure also allows for proper gas flow in the furnace. By-products like coke oven gas and coal tar are also valuable for energy recovery and other industrial uses.
The most frequent clamp-on flow measuring applications at the coke plant are:
- Cooling water
- Coke gas
- Coal tar mass
- Chemicals (including concentration measurement).

Product Solutions
The Flexim FLUXUS F731 is a technological breakthrough in the ultrasonic clamp-on volume and mass flow measurement of liquids. Highly sophisticated signal filters, faster than ever processing capacities and advanced measurement algorithms make the FLUXUS F731 ultrasonic clamp-on liquid flow meter the standard-setting measuring solution for any industrial application. With the new Synchronised Channel Averaging (SCA) method and flow profile correction, the F731 ultrasonic flowmeter is ready for the most challenging conditions.
- Accuracy and repeatability - exceptional reliability and accuracy at high and low flows due to matched, calibrated and temperature compensated transducers, advanced signal processing capabilities and diagnostics.
- Easy installation without process interruptions - an externally mounted system means no need for process interruptions or additional engineering costs.
- Maintenance-free - no contact with flowing media results in a completely maintenance- free and durable metering solution to withstand even the harshest environments.

The Flexim FLUXUS F731 WD non-intrusive ultrasonic flow meter is the perfect flow measurement solution for drinking water and wastewater applications. It enables a very simple and cost-effective clamp-on installation of flow measurement points within an existing water supply and wastewater infrastructure. The Flexim FLUXUS F731 WD belongs to the most reliable and accurate non-intrusive ultrasonic flow metering systems. It even measures flow velocities as low as 0.01 m/s (0.03 ft/s) – ideal for leak detection and night flow measurements. Thanks to permanent coupling of the transducers onto the pipe and the IP68 protection, it is suitable for installations in chambers and for buried or flooded installations. Compared to the F532 WD, the F731 WD serves pipes with diameters of over 2000 mm (79 in), offers dual channel measurements and comprehensive communication combinations.
- Extremely accurate down to flow velocities as low as 0.01 m/s (0.03 ft/s).
- No zero-calibration needed and permanently drift-free.
- Permanent coupling foil.

The Flexim FLUXUS F601 is measurement ready in 5 minutes and is the portable clamp-on flow meter of choice for servicing and maintenance activities, the control and auditing of measurement points not covered by permanent meters, or even the temporary replacement of permanently installed flow meters.
With its Li-Ion battery, the F601 allows for up to 25 hours of autonomous measurement. Matched and paired transducers, as well as sophisticated algorithms to correctly identify pipe wall echoes and wrong transducer positioning, ensure reliable and highly accurate measurements - even under the most demanding application conditions.

The Flexim FLUXUS G601 portable clamp-on ultrasonic gas flow meter measures the flow of virtually any gas using our proven transit-time correlation technique. The ultrasonic transducers are simply clamped onto the outside of the pipe, meaning no cutting into the pipe or process interruption is required for installation. This highly accurate flow meter for use in hazardous areas allows for accurate readings, allowing for an inherently bi-directional gas flow measurement of operational and standard volume flows. As the transducers are mounted on the outside of the pipe wall, the system does not suffer from wear and tear or clogging, can’t be a risk for leaks and will not cause any pressure drops inside the pipe.
- Portable, easy-to-use gas flow meter with 2 flow channels, multiple inputs / outputs and an integrated data logger with a serial interface.
- Automatic loading of calibration data and transducer detection, reducing set-up times and providing precise, long-term stable results.
- Li-Ion battery providing over 14 hours of remote measurement operation.
