  Engineers in a wide range of industries responsible for gas dosing and gas injection in small line batch and continuous processes will find the versatile ST75 Series Air/Gas Flow Meter fromFluid Components International (FCI) is the ideal flow measurement solution that provides excellent accuracy in tight, crowded equipment areas.

• City Of St. Cloud Relies On Thermal Flow Meters For Digester Biofuel Co-Gen Power Process

  The City of St. Cloud, Minnesota, straddles the Mississippi River near the center of the state a little more than 65 miles north of the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The city’s forward thinking staff began looking for sustainable green energy solutions in 2003. After planning and initiating a series of projects over several years, the site is today producing renewable energy with a 20 kW rooftop solar array, a 220 kW solar array and biofuels electricity generation.

• Flow Meter Helps HollyFrontier’s Woods Cross Refinery Measure Flare Gas For Safety And Environmental Compliance

  When the plant team at HollyFrontier’s Woods Cross Refinery, near Bountiful, Utah, needed mass flow meters to measure flare gas to the main flare header, the team drew on its past metering experiences for this difficult application.

• Rugged ST100 Digester Gas Flow Meter Provides Accurate, Safe, & Compliant Measurement

  Engineers and operators responsible for accurately measuring gas production from digester tanks at municipal or industrial wastewater treatment operations can depend on the rugged ST100 Series Thermal Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) to provide precision mass flow measurement.

• FCI’s Innovative VeriCal System Simplifies Flow Meter Calibration Verification

  The time-consuming and costly task of traditional flow meter calibrations, which requires shutting down the line, pulling the meter, installing a spare and paying a lab fee, is no longer a painful or costly process with the innovative VeriCal In-Situ Calibration Verification System for the ST00 Series Flare Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI).

• The Challenges Of Combined Heat And Power Generation From Biogas

  Driven by tight budgets and competing needs for limited CAPEX funds, wastewater treatment plants are increasingly looking to reduce their operating expenses. Many are now referring to themselves as water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), reflecting a heightened focus on recovering nutrients, methane, and a host of other properties from their waste flows. The largest boon to date has come from thermal energy, but producing biogas comes with its own set of challenges, including accurate gas flow measurement.

• Money Down The Drain: The High Cost Of Poor Air Flow Metering

  Activated sludge systems have been a cornerstone of wastewater treatment for over 100 years. This biological process uses suspended growth microorganisms to break down and consume organics and remove nutrients from the wastewater. The heart of the process takes place in aeration basins, where the microorganisms need to receive sufficient oxygen to stay alive.

• Highly Reliable Flow Switch Protects Pumps From Dry Running Conditions That Require Maintenance

  Engineers responsible for optimizing the up time of process flow networks in a wide range of demanding industries will find the FLT93 Flow Switch from Fluid Components International (FCI) provides a reliable early warning alert to the potential of dry running conditions, cavitation and other pump issues that can lead to emergency shutdowns, service interruptions and unplanned costly maintenance.
