Monitor Wastewater Biogas for Efficient Co-Generation with Thermal Mass Flow Meters from Fox Thermal

Описание: https://www.foxthermal.com/applicatio...

*Application Information*
Legislation has passed injecting funds into revitalizing aging wastewater treatment facilities. Existing facilities with anaerobic digester systems require flow measurement devices to monitor wastewater biogas from anaerobic digesters. The biogas produced in these systems is used in cogeneration to power equipment on-site.

Many new facility projects are for cogeneration plants using methane digesters. The benefits and sustainability of cogen plants for providing electricity, heat, and cooling are a smart and cost-effective step towards meeting environmental commitments. Investment in cogeneration is rising because of these benefits along with the incentives from local, regional, and national sources. The energy profiles of these facilities require accurate measurement of energy usage, fuel costs, and electricity rate structure. For fuel costs, flow measurement devices are required to calculate usage and thermal mass flow meters are a common technology used in these applications.

*Flow Measurement Product Information*
Fox Thermal customers trust FT1, FT4A, and FT4X for wastewater biogas applications. Each of these models is available in insertion and inline styles and DC input power. Additionally, the FT4X offers a remote electronics enclosure style and an AC input power option.

*Advanced Diagnostics*
For advanced diagnostics, these three models offer the CAL-V™ calibration validation test feature to verify the meter still retains its original NIST-traceable calibration. When used with the free FT View™ software, a calibration validation certificate can be produced recording the results of the test.

*Gas Composition Changes*
Additionally, these three models have a Gas-SelectX® tool for applications where a gas composition is expected to change over time. Gas-SelectX® has gas menus that allow the user to choose from a list of pure gases or create a custom gas mix (varies by model, see Fox Thermal website for lists of available gases by model).

*Approvals and Compliance*
Fox flow meters have extensive approvals and are compliant with EPA accuracy requirements.
