ABB FSE150 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

The ABB FSE150 Electromagnetic Flowmeter is a high-performance, full-bore flow measurement solution designed for Saudi Arabia's water, wastewater, and conductive liquid process applications. Meeting the demanding requirements of SWCC desalination plant feed and product water measurement, NWC municipal water network metering, and SABIC process water monitoring, the FSE150 delivers Class 0.5% accuracy across the 0.5 to 10 m/s velocity range. The electromagnetic principle means no moving parts or pressure drop, eliminating maintenance burdens in remote Saudi desert pumping stations where service visits are costly and infrequent.

The FSE150 uses ABB's patented 16-electrode sensor technology that self-monitors electrode condition and detects coating or scaling before measurement accuracy is affected — a critical feature for Saudi Arabia's mineral-rich groundwater and seawater desalination streams with high Total Dissolved Solids. The transmitter's on-board Fourier filtering eliminates flow noise from Saudi Aramco water injection pumps and SEC turbine cooling systems, providing stable readings even during pump start/stop transients. Hard-rubber and PTFE liner options resist the slightly acidic treated water streams in SWCC reverse osmosis plant product lines.

With dual-channel capability, the FSE150 simultaneously measures forward and reverse flow directions for Saudi Aramco water injection well monitoring and NWC network leak detection programs. The integrated M-Bus and Modbus RTU communication options connect directly to Saudi smart city SCADA systems and NEOM infrastructure management platforms. The flowmeter's empty pipe detection algorithm prevents false readings during pipe drainage operations at SWCC plant shutdown maintenance periods, protecting billing accuracy.

Razz Middle East is an authorized ABB measurement partner serving SWCC, NWC, Marafiq, and Saudi Aramco water management departments from our Dammam and Riyadh offices. We provide SASO-traceable field calibration services using portable calibration rigs and can arrange factory calibration with ILAC-accredited certificates for high-accuracy custody transfer applications at Saudi water authority billing points.
