The Flow-X flow computer provides gas and liquid volume, mass and energy conversion, event logging, parameter logging, and reports using latest technology. Identical modules are combined in different housings, offering a multi-run version Flow-X/P for 1–4 metering runs with a local touch screen, or the Flow-X/S version for cost efficient installations. Flow-X meets the requirements of even the most demanding applications and is the ideal partner for custody transfer measurements.

Setting up and monitoring equipment at an ammonia plant presents significant challenges. Engie Energía uses advanced technological solutions, like remote communication devices in hazardous areas.
Schluchseewerk AG wanted to record and optimize the efficiency of its turbines at the pumped storage plant in Wehr. Endress+Hauser offers the optimum solution with its ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter.
Digital communications now provide a wealth of additional diagnostic and other information, enabling operational insights unachievable with simple 4-20mA measurements alone.
