Thermal Mass Flow Meters from Fox Thermal solve the problems of landfill gas monitoring for municipal solid waste landfills and landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) facilities. Flow meters solve issues with:
Landfill gas meters from Fox Thermal allow you to meet the emissions reporting and validation calculation requirements for municipal and industrial waste sites.
Landfill gas composition varies over time, Fox Thermal flow meters can be reprogrammed in the field without shutting down the process and sending them back to the factory for recalibration.
Fox Thermal mass flow meters require no compensation for temperature or pressure changes and provide exceptional accuracy across a wide range of varying landfill gas flow rates.
Landfill gas contains methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The EPA requires landfill operators to collect the methane produced on-site, and where it is not being used for energy production, it must be flared to prevent its release.
With turndowns from 100:1, specified accuracy of +/- 1% of reading plus .2% of full scale, and repeatability of +/- .2% of full scale, Fox Thermal Mass Flow Meters can help LFGTE operators comply with EPA's 40 CFR Part 98 Subpart HH and Subpart TT.
The composition of landfill gases tends to change over time. You'll need a more flexible solution to maintain an accurate record of gas flow. Fox Thermal models FT1, FT4A, and FT4X are versatile flow meters that can be programmed in the field using Gas-SelectX®. As the gas composition changes, simply access the gas composition settings in Gas-SelectX® to reprogram the percentages of component gases and avoid sending the flow meter back to the factory to be recalibrated. Keeping your process running with a flexible and accurate flow meter from Fox Thermal will help you make downtime a thing of the past.
If you’re not sure which meter is right for your application, our Help Me Choose app walks you through a short series of questions to help you choose the ideal meter.
Next, enter your process data and flow meter requirements into our automated product configurator. Drop-down menus and Help icons will guide you to answer each question.
Save the data you entered into the configurator to create a PDF with a model code and AppID. When you're ready, submit your application to Fox Thermal for a quote.
The Model FT1 thermal flow meter is available with Gas-SelectX® and can be easily reprogrammed in the field with the help of DDC-Sensor™ for calculating accurate gas correlations. It can measure a single gas or a mixture of up to 5 specified gases.
Available in an extended temperature operating range, the Model FT2A can be calibrated to measure an extensive list of dry pure gases and gas mixes.
The FT3 can operate over higher temperatures and measure a wide range of dry pure gases and gas mixes. Comes with CAL-V™ and Zero CAL-CHECK®. An optional Data Logger is available.
This versatile gas flow meter is available with CAL-V™ Calibration Validation, DDC-Sensor™, and Gas-SelectX® allowing it to be programmed to measure any combination of up to 10 gases in 0.1% increments to create a custom gas mix.
The Model FT4X features CAL-V™ Calibration Validation, DDC-Sensor™, and Gas-SelectX®. It comes with a built-in data logger for advanced record-keeping and data retention. Optional remote sensor mounting allows for easier control in tight spaces.
