The global flow meter manufacturing industry grew to $8.9 Billion in 2020, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.70 percent till FY2028. The market in India is also expected to see considerable growth due to developments in process automation in various industry core sectors such as Power, water management, chemicals, steel & cement etc.
However, the flow meter industry demands fine-tuning of its process & factory automation which requires products with high accuracy along with a reasonable price range. Manish S. Patel, Director, LEOMI, says, “The primary factor that sets our company apart from the rest of the players is the High quality Thermal mass flow meter engineered in India for process air and gas flow measurement with various customization options. It is made with German technology transfer from softflow.de and has a robust design with proven track record globally more than 20 years. We have installed India’s first fully automatic In-house calibration facility & in-house electronic development which provides quick service support to the customers with an affordable pricing range”.
Customized and Engineered products
Manish adds, “There are large requirements of quality instrumentation with high accuracy and reliability which are currently not available in India forcing the companies to import from other countries. Our first priority at Leomi is the development of our products into an application based on the expectations of the core
sector Industries that we serve, such as power plants and steel & cement as both these industries require customized and engineered products with high accuracy and reliability for their operations. We ensure the quality of our products by meeting all the international standards which are crucial for a product of this type and also helps in exceeding client expectations on performance and reliability”.
LEOMI started the commissioning of its project along with the establishment of its manufacturing facilities in 2019. It had also recorded a substantial amount of growth in the nuclear, thermal power, steel & textile sector Manish highlights, “There is still a lot of room for growth in the Thermal Power sector for flue gas flow measurement and also in the corrosive process gas emissions. We have also exported to Germany, Vietnam, Nigeria to name a few for compressed air and gas” LEOMI is also a registered Start-up India company having an ISO 9001:2015 certification which is a testament to their excellence.
Application Oriented Products
LEOMI offers flow meter products that have different types of sensor construction such as stainless steel, Hastelloy C276, HALAR & PFA coatings for a wide range of applications in various industries. The Insertion type of flow metres can be used in an adjustable and versatile manner which is used to monitor multiple locations with a wide temperature range up to 400°C. LEOMI also provides Inline flow meters for permanent installation for systemic inspection.
“Optimizing life” as a central idea for developing products and solutions which helps in optimization of process and equipment
Manish emphasizes, “Currently our company is working on projects in the power sector which includes the nuclear energy, thermal power generation and for the municipal corporation sewage treatment plant in the aeration air, landfill gas monitoring in the solid waste management process, biogas monitoring process in the food and starch industry. LEOMI has developed a perfect tool for compressed air monitoring & recording for energy auditors for conservation initiatives with Thermal mass flowmeter.”
Aiming for Optimization
Manish concludes, “The tagline of our company is “Optimizing life” as a central idea for developing products and solutions which helps in optimization of process and equipment. Optimization helps in energy conservation in various process industries. The company also works on developing import substitute technology products which will support the India programme for becoming ATMANIRBHAR (self-reliant) by reducing the dependency of importing reliable equipments from other countries ”.
