KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Overview

KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000 is an electromagnetic flow sensor engineered as the single-platform solution for water, wastewater, and general process flow measurement. Rather than offering one fixed design, the OPTIFLUX 2000 sensor combines with the IFC 050, IFC 100, or IFC 300 signal converters to form the OPTIFLUX 2050, 2100, or 2300 flowmeter – giving plant engineers one sensor platform that scales from basic utility metering to advanced diagnostic-rich process control. Its full-bore, obstruction-free design and welded stainless steel construction make it equally suited to clean potable water, abrasive slurries, and corrosive chemical duties.

As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for KROHNE, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the OPTIFLUX 2000 electromagnetic flowmeter to industrial, municipal, and utility customers across Oman and the wider GCC. Every unit shipped through Seven Star LLC carries full manufacturer warranty, genuine KROHNE calibration certification, and access to local technical support – ensuring facility engineers and procurement teams in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah receive a factory-correct instrument backed by regional service.

Measurement Principle

The KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000 operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, first described by Faraday’s Law. As an electrically conductive liquid flows through the magnetic field generated inside the sensor, it induces a voltage that is directly proportional to the liquid’s velocity. Two measuring electrodes in contact with the fluid pick up this induced voltage, and the connected signal converter processes it into a precise volumetric flow value. Because the excitation is modern pulsed DC, the flowmeter is inherently resistant to zero-point drift, a common failure mode in older electromagnetic designs.

This measuring principle gives the KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000 several practical advantages that matter on real installations. There are no moving parts and no constrictions inside the flow tube, so the meter introduces virtually no pressure drop – performing hydraulically like a plain section of pipe. It is unaffected by changes in fluid density, viscosity, or turbulence profile, and because nothing protrudes into the flow stream, it will not clog, wear, or foul even when measuring liquids carrying solids, fibers, or entrained bubbles. This makes the sensor equally suitable for raw sewage, pulp slurries, and demineralized water without any change in measuring accuracy.

Engineering Design of the KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000

The OPTIFLUX 2000 sensor is built with a fully welded stainless steel housing rated IP67/IP68, allowing installation in permanently flooded chambers, buried pits, and underground vaults without compromising the electronics. The wetted liner is available in a choice of corrosion- and abrasion-resistant materials to match the process fluid, and the flanged connection is offered across an exceptionally wide nominal diameter range up to DN 2000, with fitting lengths compliant with both DVGW and ISO standards for straightforward retrofit into existing pipe runs.

Because the sensor is decoupled from its signal converter, plant designers can mount the IFC 050, IFC 100, or IFC 300 converter remotely or compactly, matching the installation to the available space and hazardous-area requirements. In situ verification is supported through KROHNE’s MagCheck diagnostic tool, allowing technicians to confirm sensor performance without removing the flowmeter from the line – a significant maintenance advantage for buried or hard-to-access installations common in regional water distribution networks.

Key Features

The KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000 electromagnetic flowmeter delivers a combination of accuracy, durability, and diagnostic depth that few single-platform sensors can match, which is why the KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000 remains a preferred choice for demanding utility and process applications.

• The sensor combines with IFC 050, IFC 100, or IFC 300 converters to form the OPTIFLUX 2050, 2100, or 2300 flowmeter, covering basic to advanced applications from one hardware platform.
• 3×100% diagnostics detect measurement errors that standard SIL2-certified equipment cannot recognize, including erroneous readings caused by entrained gas bubbles.
• Fully welded IP67/IP68 stainless steel construction allows reliable operation in permanently flooded chambers and buried installations.
• The obstruction-free, full-bore design produces virtually zero pressure drop and requires no upstream or downstream straight-pipe runs.
• International drinking water approvals and compliance with OIML R-49 and ISO 4064 support potable water metering and utility billing applications.
• In situ verification with KROHNE MagCheck confirms sensor accuracy on-site without process interruption or removal from the pipeline.
• A wide nominal diameter range up to DN 2000 covers everything from small process lines to large municipal transmission mains.
• Modern pulsed DC excitation eliminates the zero-shift drift found in legacy electromagnetic flow sensor designs.

Industrial Applications

Facility engineers across the region specify the KROHNE OPTIFLUX 2000 because it is deployed across water and wastewater utilities, power generation, pulp and paper production, metals and mining, and general process industries wherever accurate, low-maintenance flow measurement of conductive liquids is required. Typical duties range from potable and raw water to seawater, groundwater, wastewater, sludge, and sewage, as well as cooling water circuits and leak-detection monitoring on long-distance transmission networks.

As the officially authorized partner for KROHNE, Seven Star LLC distributes the OPTIFLUX 2000 to district cooling operators, municipal water authorities, RO desalination plants, and industrial facilities throughout Oman and the GCC. The flowmeter is a strong fit for the water distribution networks and industrial zones of Sohar and Salalah, where buried and flooded chamber installations are common, as well as for commercial HVAC and district cooling plants across Muscat that require dependable, drift-free flow data for billing and process control.
