Optimization of a combustion process can result in significant savings in fuel costs. Proper control of the air/fuel ratio to a burner results in the highest possible efficiency – the maximum steam output (or heat generated) for the least fuel consumption.
Fox Thermal Instruments announced recently the launch of their new product: the state of the art Fox Model FT3 Thermal Mass Flow Meter & Temperature Transmitter.
Accurate, repeatable measurement of air and natural gas, at low and varying flow rates, is a critical variable in advanced combustion control and can help improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and enhance process quality. By Fox Thermal Instruments, Inc.
Coal mines must monitor and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to comply with the EPA's Title 40 CFR Part 98 Subpart FF. By Fox Thermal Instruments, Inc.
In addition to rising energy prices, pressure from regulatory agencies to reduce emissions and improve efficiency has spurred manufacturers to engage in submetering.
Rising levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere are a subject of general concern and increasing environmental regulation. In order to monitor and quantify emissions, VOC concentrations as well as VOC flow rates must be measured to evaluate mass emission rate.
Flare stacks are used to burn waste gases from the plant, converting chemical and organic hydrocarbons into primarily water vapor and CO2. Due to the potential for large changes in flow rates, density, pressure and gas composition, flare gas measurement is one of the most difficult and demanding flow applications.
Although manufacturers have made significant improvements in process heating efficiency, the total energy use for process heating is expected to increase. Accurate, repeatable measurement of air and process gases with thermal mass flowmeters is key to improving accountability and energy-management processes.
