  1. FCI FlexSwitch FLT Series 2/21/2016

    The FLT93S insertion type FlexSwitch for flow and temperature monitoring represents the first true technological breakthrough in thermal technology in over a decade.

  2. Liquid Level/Interface Monitoring In Flocculant/Sludge Control 2/18/2016

    Precisely measuring and controlling the mixture of wastewater effluent, flocculants, and sludge is essential to efficient water treatment. The level/interface instruments that support the process liquid measurements must be capable of distinguishing between liquids with varying properties.

  3. Refinery Turns To Thermal Mass Flow Meter 2/5/2016

    An independent Midwest refiner operates refineries in multiple states with a combined crude oil processing capacity of more than 500,000 barrels per day. The company recently approved a project to improve the safety of its plant and reduce its costs for nitrogen gas used for tank blanketing. Read the full report to learn more.

  4. Measuring Methane-Based Digester Gas Flow In Wastewater Treatment Plants 2/4/2016

    While traditionally flared by wastewater treatment plants, many facilities are now turning the methane produced by their digester processes into a fuel source. The harvested digester gas is used to generate on-site heat and, with cogeneration technologies, to generate electricity.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Features Of The Vortab Insertion Panel VIP Flow Conditioner 2/1/2016

    This video demonstrates how the VIP Flow Conditioner combines the proven performance of Vortab tab-type flow conditioning technology with the low cost and ease-of-installation of an insertion panel type flow conditioner solution.

  8. Accurately Measuring LNG Tanker Boil-Off Gas For Process Efficiency And Environmental Compliance 2/1/2016

    With the recent growth in demand and production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), there has been an increase in trade and the need to transport it globally via LNG tanker ships.

  9. Optimize Plant Burner Fuel-To-Air Ratio With ST75 Flow Meter And Reduce Boiler Energy Costs 1/30/2016

    The advanced ST75 Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI), which measures fuel gas, process gas, inert gas, waste gases and air in small line sizes, is ideal for optimizing the fuel-to-air ratio for plant burner-boiler control, reducing plant fuel costs while protecting the environment.

  10. 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.
