Process Flow & Thermal Transfer

Process Flow & Thermal Transfer

We measure and move the water, air and gas that keep plants running.

Most flow problems aren't really flow problems. They're access problems, straight-run problems, line-size problems, or media problems - abrasive slurry, corrosive chemistry, dirty water, or gas at low pressure.

We carry the technologies that handle those conditions, and we help you pick the right one rather than the one we happen to stock.

What we cover

Differential pressure flow V-Cone and cone-style meters for large-diameter lines, limited straight run, and difficult media - including applications where an orifice plate won't survive or won't fit.

Magnetic flow Full-bore and insertion magmeters for process water, cooling and condenser water, effluent, sludge and industrial water service.

Ultrasonic flow Clamp-on and inline meters, including retrofits installed without cutting pipe or taking a shutdown.

Thermal mass flow Gas and air measurement - combustion air, aeration air, flare gas and biogas.

Level, pressure and temperature Submersible and general-purpose transmitters, RTDs, thermocouples and custom sensor assemblies.

Heat transfer Plate and engineered heat exchangers for process heating and cooling, chilled and condenser water, and thermal recovery.

Where this applies

Central utility plants · data center cooling loops · EV and manufacturing campuses · chemical process and cooling water · pulp and paper white and green liquor · combustion and aeration air · federal and utility balance of plant.

Proven at scale

We standardized over 100 flow meters on a single platform across an EV manufacturing campus central utility plant, and specified three complementary flow technologies across the cooling systems of a live AI data center.
