Biogas Thermal Mass Flow Meter Improves Operation of S.P.M. Feed Company's Methane Recovery System

From Fluid Components Intl. (FCI)

In all biogas recovery systems, measuring the flow rate of methane and other mixed gases is required to ensure effective and efficient operation of the digester process and effective operation of the gas turbine equipment that uses the biogas from the digester process to produce electric power.

Flow Switches
Flow switches are devices that monitor flow and send a trip signal to other devices, like a pump, for protection. These switches can be used for the measurement of gases, liquids, and steam.
Flow Meters
Flow meters (flowmeters) and flow sensors are devices used for measuring the flow rate or quantity of a moving fluid or gas.
Volumetric Gas Flow Switches
Volumetric gas flow switches are devices with a switch output used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving gas in terms of a unit of volume per unit time, such as cubic feet per minute.
Gas Flow Meters
Gas flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving gas in an enclosed pipe or passage.
Liquid Flow Meters
Liquid flow meters are used to measure the volumetric flow rate or amount of a moving liquid.
