Case Studies

Star Wars pictures.webp

Whether you were around to witness the advent of STAR WARS and its subsequent updated releases, I have always had a fond memory of how I played a pivotal role in helping advance the technology to where it is today in the U.S. Air Force

Reynolds Foil 1950's.jpg

A large Aluminum fabricator purchased a significant quantity of Sage Paramount Insertion Style Natural Gas flow meters with Remote enclosures for 4” pipes, and opted for the Sage Bluetooth option to communicate between their laptop(s) or PC(s) and any of the Sage Thermal Mass flow meters.

Whether it’s measuring compressed air on the output of a compressor, combustion air to a burner, or to measure air feeding the kiln for clinker burning, thermal mass flow meters provide cost-efficient and accurate measurement solutions.

Lucite.png

A flowmeter monitoring the rate of flow from a reactor vessel to the downstream process was producing an incorrect reading. Lucite’s engineers couldn’t determine why the meter was periodically indicating zero flow through the pipeline, causing the process to ‘trip’  as a safety precaution.

A brake manufacturer purchased capital equipment consistently from 2008 thru 2017 to enhance their process. Each time, the problem the supplier created with the capital equipment was using outdated metering technology which resulted in slower response to process changes and an inability to capture accurate data.

How DUE SOUTH had a Director of Bulk Operations replacing technology.   Whether it’s measuring nitrogen at a bulk distribution system, or to measure nitrogen blanketing at the tank farm, the thermal mass flow meter provides cost-efficient and accurate measurement solutions.

Whether it’s measuring natural gas to fuel the compressor at a compressor station, or to measure carrier gas to the gas chromatograph, the thermal mass flow meter provides cost-efficient and accurate measurement solutions.

UofL Physical Plant.jpeg

Like most physical plants, there were a number of recessed areas where light was blocked by equipment, piping, etc. This created lowlight areas and shadows that can make it difficult to see and read instrumentation like pressure gauges

Emissions Analyzer.jpg

NOx emissions (NO & NO2) must be closely monitored with a gas analyzer to ensure that combustion systems, such as boilers and engines, are running safely and efficiently as well as complying with environmental regulations.

The most  common way in which the flow measurement accuracy of any flow meter becomes compromised is due to incorrect installation. In 36 years of working in and around electronic instrumentation, there is one shortfall that sticks out above the rest, lack of startup support expertise to quickly identify installation issues.
