We’re pleased to share details on two upcoming technical webinars from KROHNE and Process Insights leading experts in process measurement. On June 17, 2025 at 11:00 AM EDT, KROHNE’s Richard Lowrie will present a WaterOnline-hosted session on how Coriolis Mass Flow Meters can help water and wastewater facilities improve accuracy and cut chemical costs in an increasingly expensive market. In a separate session, Tim Pearson from Process Insights will lead a focused webinar on how advanced respiration measurements using fixed magnetic sector mass spectroscopy are helping scientists and engineers optimize bioreactor operations with the highest possible analytical precision. Both events offer valuable takeaways for professionals in water treatment, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries—don’t miss the opportunity to learn from these industry leaders.
WaterOnline Webinar invitation featuring Rich Lowrie

The global water treatment chemicals market was valued at $37.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $53.8 billion by 2032, the CAGR is expected to be 3.8% for the next 7 years. The cost of Ferric Chloride has increased 150% from 2020 to 2023 whereas Caustic (+80%), Alum (+25%) and Poly Aluminum Chloride or PAC (+50%) also rose substantially in that same period.
While traditional measurement technologies such as Electromagnetic or Variable Area meters and methods like depending on metering pumps curves have proven to be reliable, new measurement technology can improve accuracy significantly. Sometimes by as much as an order of magnitude.
Nominal Variable Area flowmeter accuracies are between 3% and 5% while those for Electromagnetic meters range from 0.5% to 1.5%. Now, Coriolis Mass Flow meters can be as accurate as 0.1%. and this increased accuracy turns into real money when measuring costly chemicals. Coriolis Mass Flow Meters are also largely immune to installation effects, while some can also continually measure even in dual phase flow conditions.
This presentation will explore some areas in Water and Wastewater Treatment where Coriolis Mass flow meters will benefit your process and save costs when compared to traditional measurement technology and methods.
Key learning objectives:
- Gaining a working knowledge of how Coriolis Mass Measurement works
- Understanding where a Coriolis mass flow meter can replace other technologies
- Learning what circumstances a Coriolis meter is able to solve difficult measurement challenges
