Overcoming Flow Measurement Challenges In Wet Gas And Open Stack, Rain-Down Installations
5/27/2020
Wet gas is a challenge to measure in a number of industries, including those with combustible gases that represent a safety hazard. In the laboratory, today’s air/gas flow sensors and measurement technologies operate at their highest accuracy and greatest reliability in air or gas free of moisture, droplets, particulates, etc. The real industrial world, however, is a much different environment where moisture can be entrapped in one form or another in air or gas flow streams with variable gas compositions and flow rates.

GeoSpray® CMP Culvert Lining Rehab In Cary, NC
1/26/2022
The town of Cary, North Carolina, is an affluent municipality located southwest of Raleigh. The town is near the center of the Triangle region, a commuter area consisting of three major universities: Duke, UNC and NC State as well as the technology hub located in Research Triangle Park. The housing development of Preston is located adjacent to the Prestonwood Country Club, where housing values range between $300,000 and $1M. Bridle Creek Dr. is the main entrance to the community, and the golf course with Bridle Creek crossing though a triplet of 52”-54” CMP culverts. In 2016, a section of one of these culverts collapsed, creating a sinkhole on the side of the road. The collapse was quickly repaired with a new section of CMP, but the community was concerned that the remaining CMP sections were showing corrosion in the invert and it would be only a matter of time before a more serious collapse occurred.
