Major E & C Uses Hoffer Meters for Power Generation
Currently, one of the strongest industrial growth markets
is power generation. De-regulation of power and gas utilities
in the United States and the increased demand for new power
sources in emerging overseas markets has fueled this global
expansion. At the core of this growth trend is the ever-increasing
use of gas turbine driven generating systems to produce electric
power. Hoffer Flow Controls has a longand successful history
in a variety of measurement applications associated with these
gas turbine systems. Our meters are used by every major manufacturer
of gas turbines for applications that include fuel measurement
(gas and liquid), wet NOx emission reduction spray systems,
critical cooling water flow, fuel conditioning flows and condensate
flows to name but a few.

Recently, Hoffer was awarded orders from several multi-national
engineering and construction firms to supply flowmeters
for these various applications for new gas turbine power
plant projects in the United Kingdom, the Philippines
and Brazil. Included in these orders were Hoffer “Premier”
natural gas turbine flowmeters, similar to the one pictured
above, in line sizes 6”, 10” and 12”.
These meters were supplied for critical fiscal and massenergy
balance accounting purposes to precise specifications
and tolerances.
Hoffer meters were selected based on our unique ability
to readily “tune” our meters to very precisely
match flow rate and pressure drop requirements and to
provide specific features and services required for
each project at competitive prices. Special features
and services provided by Hoffer for these projects included
custom flowmeter calibrations on high-pressure natural
gas, complete flowmetering skid fabrication, densitometer
integration, custom protective coatings and customized
electronics enclosures to meet local requirements.
When you need flowmeters for your power generation facility,
think Hoffer Flow Controls first! We have the products,
experience and know-how to provide you with the best
solutions to your most challenging applications. |
