Overcoming Flow Measurement Challenges In Wet Gas And Open Stack, Rain-Down Installations

By Eric Wible, Director of Engineering, Fluid Components International (FCI)

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.
