As the official representative ofBrooks Instrument in Spain, Applus+ Gometrics is pleased to share the launch of the new clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter BCU Series.
Brooks Instrument, a global benchmark in fluid control, has developed this solution with the most demanding challenges of the critical process industry in mind, where accuracy and hygiene are non-negotiable.
Non-contact innovation: the first device with integrated EtherNet/IP The BCU Series has been specifically designed for single-use and hybrid bioprocess applications. Its main innovation lies in being the first non-invasive ultrasonic flowmeter to incorporate native EtherNet/IP.
This advance allows real-time flow measurement without the fluid touching the sensor, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring maximum process sterility.
Strategic advantages of the BCU Series
The BCU series combines process reliability and advanced connectivity:
- Non-invasive installation: “clamp-on” design that fits the pipe without cutting or modification.
- Direct connectivity: thanks to its native EtherNet/IP, it integrates directly with PLCs and SCADA without the need for external gateways or converters.
- Predictive maintenance: includes advanced diagnostics, alarm management and trend visualization to anticipate any incident.
- Remote management: integrated web interface that allows the equipment to be configured and monitored from any browser.
- Maximum durability: IP66 degree of protection, no moving parts or consumables, ideal for intensive cleaning environments.
Key industrial applications
The versatility of the BCU Series makes it indispensable in critical stages of the biotechnological and pharmaceutical process:
- Upstream and downstream processes.
- Chromatography skids and media preparation.
- Final filling operations.
- Single-use OEM platforms.
By eliminating direct contact with the process medium, the BCU Series contributes to improved process safety, operational availability and long-term system integrity.
