Flow Meter Measure Green House Gasses

Jan. 11, 2010

Recently Sierra introduced a line of mass flow meters Certified by Sierra for Green House Gas (GHG) reporting to the public. All Sierra GHG meters now conform to the new EPA rule (40 CFR Part 98), which mandates that as of January 2, 2010, companies in the United States that emit more than 25,000 tons/year of CO2 equivalent must report GHG emissions. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 of the country’s largest businesses will be affected.

Sierra’s GHG Certified mass flow meters provide an economical way to totalize methane or natural gas burned, enabling the calculation of CO2 equivalent emissions. Sierra has extensive experience in producing highly accurate and repeatable mass flow meters for methane (CH4) as well as N20, SF6, HFC’s, PFC’s and CO2 as called out in the EPA mandate.

Sierra saw the environmental writing on the wall some time ago, and we have been steadfastly pursuing both sustainable and profitable industry flow measurement solutions ever since. To make it easier for our customers, we have established a dedicated webpage www.sierrainstruments.com/greenhouse.html that features our three most popular GHG Certified mass flow meters. In addition, our team of application and service engineers are all trained in EPA Greenhouse Gas reporting rule to answer any questions you may have.
