ApplicationsConserve Thru ControlNorth Adams, MAGeo Thermal Application

TFX Ultras used to measure and control geo-thermal HVAC system. EPA also requires building owner to report ground water usage.

Well water can carry dirt and ice which destroys inline meters.

Client: Valley Water – Plainville, CT. Municipal Water ApplicationHigh velocity – no straight runs TFX Ultra replaced 901 DopplerResult: Improved accuracy

Applications

P&G Gillette Beauty & GroomingBoston, MA

Gillette’s sustainability project requires measurement and control of city water and process loops in 100 year old plant. Potential sale for 17 measurement points. Most lines cannot be shut down without halting production.

Applications

Ulster Uniform ServiceKinston, NYIndustrial Laundry

Since a high percentage of the water is evaporated through their dryers, Ulster uses a TFX Ultra meter to report waste water usage to save on their sewage bill.

Applications

Mercedes-Benz plant, Istanbul, TURKEY

Challenge:Customer dissatisfied with in-line BTU meters to measure energy

use through their 15 cogeneration lines. Considered to be high maintenance and were not thought to be reliable.

Solution: TFXE w/ DTTN, Clamp-on RTDsEasy installation, no process shut-down, and seamless drop-in to

their Siemens SCADA system via standard Modbus RTU were seen as key advantages in selecting Dynasonics.

Genoa, Illinois WWTP

Use clamp-on meters to prove output and performance of new pump; DFX Doppler and Transit time TFX Ultra both utilized, due to suspected pump cavitation. Meters showed a disparity, helped identify debris caught within the pump.
