KROHNE: Industrial Flow and Process Measurement Excellence

KROHNE Group, headquartered in Duisburg, Germany, is one of the world's leading manufacturers and suppliers of process measurement instrumentation. Founded in 1921 by Ludwig Krohne as a variable area flow meter manufacturer, the company has expanded into a full-range instrumentation provider covering flow, level, temperature, pressure, and process analytics. With over 4,000 employees and production facilities in Germany, the Netherlands, UK, USA, China, India, and Brazil, KROHNE provides measurement solutions for the chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, water, food and beverage, mining, and power industries.

KROHNE holds a particularly strong position in flow measurement, where their electromagnetic, Coriolis, ultrasonic, and vortex flow meters are recognized as industry benchmarks for accuracy, reliability, and application expertise.

KROHNE Products Available Through RAZZ Middle East

Electromagnetic Flow Meters

The OPTIFLUX series is KROHNE's flagship electromagnetic flow meter family. The OPTIFLUX 4300 handles demanding chemical and process applications with exotic liner and electrode materials. The OPTIFLUX 2300 serves standard water and wastewater applications. The OPTIFLUX 1300 provides cost-effective measurement for utility and building services. All OPTIFLUX meters feature KROHNE's signal processing technology for stable measurement even with entrained air, low conductivity, or pulsating flow.

Coriolis Mass Flow Meters

The OPTIMASS series measures mass flow, density, and temperature simultaneously. The OPTIMASS 6400 twin straight-tube design provides high-accuracy measurement for custody transfer and batching applications in the oil and gas industry. The OPTIMASS 1400 twin bent-tube design handles general process applications. Coriolis meters are critical for accurate hydrocarbon measurement in Saudi Aramco fiscal metering and product transfer operations.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

The OPTISONIC series covers both inline and clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement. The OPTISONIC 3400 multi-path ultrasonic meter provides custody-transfer accuracy for large-diameter gas and liquid pipelines. OPTISONIC 6300 clamp-on meters enable non-invasive flow measurement without cutting into pipes—ideal for retrofit measurements on existing Saudi industrial piping.

Vortex Flow Meters

The OPTISWIRL 4200 vortex flow meter measures steam, gas, and liquid flow with no moving parts and minimal maintenance. Integrated temperature and pressure compensation calculate mass flow and energy for steam metering—valuable for Saudi industrial plants tracking steam consumption and energy efficiency.

Level and Pressure Instruments

KROHNE's OPTIWAVE radar level transmitters and OPTIFLEX guided radar instruments provide reliable level measurement in process vessels and storage tanks. OPTIBAR pressure transmitters serve process pressure and hydrostatic level measurement applications.

KROHNE in Saudi Arabia

Aramco specifies KROHNE flow meters for custody transfer, fiscal metering, and process measurement across their refining and distribution network. Coriolis and ultrasonic meters serve hydrocarbon flow measurement at terminals and pipeline metering stations. SABIC petrochemical plants deploy KROHNE electromagnetic and vortex meters across their process units. Saudi water treatment and desalination facilities use KROHNE electromagnetic flow meters extensively—the OPTIFLUX series is one of the most widely installed water meter brands in the Kingdom.
