Special Applications Series: Flow Instrumentation for Energy Management GO GREEN... THINK BLUE. Think Magnetrol . ® To meet increasing regulatory, environmental, social and bottom line demands, rely on Magnetrol and Thermatel® TA2 mass flow meters for your energy and environmental management solutions.

Thermatel TA2 thermal mass flow meters are up to the challenge of your most demanding applications. ® TA2 thermal mass flow meters will help optimize your green energy initiatives by improving measurement of greenhouse gases and making processes less energy intensive and more energy efficient. Thermal dispersion technology Thermal flow meters are primarily used in air and gas flow measurement applications. The meters consist of a transmitter and probe with temperature sensors (RTDs) located in the pins at the bottom of the probe. One sensor measures the process temperature and the other sensor...

Aeration basins require air flow to allow microorganisms to efficiently break down the waste in wastewater treatment plants. Challenge: Maintain proper air flows to the sections of the basins. Solution: Measure and balance air flows using the Thermatel TA2. Blower efficiency can also be optimized by measuring the air flow and not running excess air into the basin based on dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. Note: The TA2 is also used for aeration flow measurement in froth flotation applications in the mining industry. Sludge at a wastewater treatment plant goes into an anaerobic digester that produces...

Thermatel® TA2 Thermal Mass Flow Meters Breakthrough Performance Thermatel TA2 flow meters deliver significant advantages compared to traditional gas flow measurement technologies. • Direct thermal mass flow measurement doesn’t require pressure or temperature input for density correction, as do many gas flow technologies, such as differential pressure. • Offers excellent low flow sensitivity: mass velocities of 10 SFPM (0.05 Nm/s) to 50,000 SFPM (250 Nm/s) (gas dependent). • Measures low velocities as well as high flow rates for a turndown rate of 100:1 or more. • TA2 probes create negligible...
