CNGmass - The flowmeter for accurate measurement of compressed natural gas (CNG) in high pressure refueling applications.

The Coriolis Flow Measuring Principle

  • Picture of Coriolis flowmeter CNGmass / 8FF for measurement of compressed natural gas (CNG)

Refueling application flowmeter with easy system integration

When it comes to billing and paying for the amount of CNG actually pumped, the measuring accuracy at the dispenser is just as important as with any other fuel. Therefore, the “brain” in every CNG dispenser is a flowmeter that measures the quantity of fuel transferred from dispenser to vehicle with the absolute highest accuracy – reliability day in, day out, round the clock. These are some of the benefits of CNGmass, which has been specifically designed for such applications.

  • A 15% cost saving in sludge dewatering by reducing flocculant dosage.

    Dewatering of sludge is a process aimed at reducing its volume by
    removing as much water as possible. Frequently this is done
    mechanically, where the sediment is subjected to a so-called
    conditioning
    process; this involves changing the structure and properties of the
    sediment, weakening the forces binding water to the surface of
    particles.
    A commonly used method of conditioning is a chemical method and
    consists of adding electrolytes to the sludge, such as aluminum sulfate,
    ferric sulfate or ferric chloride, or polyelectrolytes based on organic
    polymers.
