Nel Hydrogen switches to mass flow meters for more accurate flow verification on high-tech PEM electrolysers
Hydrogen, the most abundant, energy-dense element in our universe, is a highly desirable energy source. Unfortunately, most hydrogen production utilizes natural gas and releases harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In an effort to improve the sustainability of hydrogen, many researchers have been hard at work developing electolyser technology. Electrolysers are a promising way to […]

UPB tests hydrogen-diesel engine efficiency using mass flow meters
In an effort to reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector, the European Commission is working to reduce CO2 emissions from transportation by 37.5% over the next 10 years. A promising approach is to focus on developing alternative fuels and technologies to replace greenhouse intensive ones. If spark-ignition engines were to be replaced by clean […]

High accuracy, low-flow color dosing with Coriolis mass flow meters
Many liquid laundry detergents are easily recognized by their distinct blue color. The addition of such blue coloring and other fluorescing agents adds trace amounts of dye to fabrics, both counteracting discoloration and improving brightness. Challenge: Inaccurate, inefficient pumps lead to noticeable variation Modern blue dyes and fluorescing agents come in extremely high concentrations, so […]

Framergy purifies methane from natural gas streams using MOFs and Coriolis mass flow meters
Co-written by Alicat and Framergy. Funding for this research was provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under contract number 68HERC20C0007. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of nanomaterials which are highly effective as a solid adsorbent and utilize their unique “cage-like” structure to trap molecules. Because of these properties, MOFs have been […]

Flowing non-Newtonian fluids
Finding the right instrument to measure or control non-Newtonian fluids can be a challenge. Some popular flow technologies like electromagnetic meters can exhibit up to a 20% deviation in accuracy when used for such fluids. Ultrasonic flow meters have also shown up to 15% deviation when used for non-Newtonian fluids transitioning between laminar and turbulent […]

Optimizing supercritical CO2 solid-liquid extraction with Coriolis mass flow
CO2 is used in all kinds of industrial applications; for example, liquid CO2 is commonly used as a cooling agent and solid CO2 (dry ice) as a dairy preservative. Here, we focus on the industrial applications of supercritical CO2 (sCO2). What is sCO2? A supercritical fluid is one that exhibits both gas and liquid properties […]
