Meeting the energy needs for data centers and AI is causing growth in the energy generation sector – and at lightning speeds. Current power providers are optimizing their systems to operate at peak performance, while investors are building new sources of power. Flow meters are used to optimize combustion in current systems by monitoring flow to tune for the optimal air-to-fuel ratio. Flow meters are also used to monitor flow in hydrogen production for newer energy generation projects. These applications require accurate flow measurement with a wide turndown. Thermal mass flow meters from Fox Thermal offer cost-effective solutions with quick lead times to meet this growing need.

Thermal mass flow meters from Fox Thermal are a long-trusted solution for the oil and gas sector. Fox Thermal flow meters solve the problems of monitoring methane, natural gas, flared gas, and vented gas in oil and gas applications such as oil refineries, well drilling operations, chemical process plants, gas distribution infrastructure, and more. Flow meters offer accuracy across changing gas compositions, high accuracy at low velocity flow, and compliance for reporting emissions.

Modern industry is becoming more focused on minimizing environmental impact through sustainable practices and products. Thermal mass flow meters can be used to help track and reduce resource consumption and minimize waste. Industrial equipment optimization is a common application for flow meters. By monitoring the flow of air and gas in processes, operators can reach their efficiency goals and promote their company’s commitment to initiatives like ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance).

Gas flow meters are essential tools for managing aerobic and anaerobic processes at wastewater treatment plants. Thermal mass type flow meters from Fox Thermal are the ideal solution for measuring gas flow rates, reducing costs, and meeting emissions requirements for greenhouse gases. Biogas is produced when organic matter, like agricultural or municipal waste, decomposes in the absence of oxygen. This may take place in a landfill site or an anaerobic digester, producing biogas containing about 70% methane and 30% carbon dioxide.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and the primary constituent of natural gas, an important energy source. Mass flow meters from Fox Thermal can provide accurate and reliable measurements of biogas for significant energy, economic, and environmental benefits.
