  1. Fluid Components International: Capabilities Overview 4/7/2016

    Knowing the fluid levels and the flow rates at which liquids and gases are traveling through pipes are measurements critical to industry. FCI Instrumentation combines precision sensors with ruggedized electronics designed to provide accurate, highly repeatable flow and level measurement solutions for these industrial process applications.

  2. Greenhouse Gas Flow Monitoring Helps In Global Climate Change Effort 2/2/2016

    It is widely accepted now that rising levels of waste greenhouse gases (GHG) that result from industrial production and the everyday living practices of billions of people are the primary causes of global warming. Methane and other GHGs have been targeted as a primary area of concern and regulatory activity.

  3. Flare Gas Flow Measurement And Control 2/2/2016

    In oil/gas production, refining and storage operations around the globe, flare gas systems are used to burn-off and dispose of waste, excess or off-gases, and as a safety system. The accurate, responsive and reliable measurement of flare gas is essential in order to assure proper operation of the flare gas system, which protects people and equipment from potentially hazardous combustible gas to maintain a safe working environment and to avoid environmental contamination.

  4. FCI VeriCal In-Situ Calibration Sensor Installation And VeriCal Procedure Demonstration 2/2/2016

    FCI's VeriCal In-Situ calibration verification system gives you the ability to perform periodic field validation and verification of your FCI flow meter's measuring performance without extracting the meter from the pipe or process. This video illustrates the VeriCal procedure and ease of sensor installation.

  5. Seven Tips To Cut Wastewater Aeration Energy Costs With Thermal Mass Flow Meters 1/15/2016

    One of the biggest expenses in wastewater treatment operations is the cost of energy to run the blowers and compressors that produce air for the aeration basins.

  6. A More Reliable Detection System Reduces Cost Of Pigging And Maintenance 1/13/2016

    A major oil producer in Alaska’s North Slope region operates miles of transit pipeline as part of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) within the U.S. National Petroleum Reserve — Alaska.

  7. MT Series Multi-Point Mass Flow Meters Brochure 7/22/2014

    FCI’s MT Series Multi-Point Mass Flow Meters are ideal for today’s most challenging industrial air or gas handling applications and continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS). Inside large combustion or preheater systems, HVAC units, ducts or flue stacks, MT Series multi-point flow meters measure flow with exceptional precision under variable thermodynamic conditions.

  8. Aeration Basin Air Flow Monitoring At A Stockholm Wastewater Plant 12/20/2013

    At a wastewater treatment plant in Stockholm, Sweden, each aeration basin has several diffuser systems. Each diffuser system requires individual air flow monitoring and independent control. The air flow pipes leading to the diffusers typically do not have much straight run of pipe. This makes accurate measurement of the air flow more difficult. In addition, the air flow coming from the compressors is inconsistent
