Elster will be demonstrating metering innovations that provide
integrated gas measurement and regulator solutions for both high
and low pressure applications. These include the new EK280 volume
converter, the new themis plus diaphragm gas meter,
Q.Sonic ®plus ultrasonic flow meter, and RABO (Rotary
All By One) rotary gas meter, as well as the recently introduced
series of high pressure MR HP20 regulators.
With rising demand for natural gas and advanced meter reading
(AMR) technology worldwide, Elster continues to support upstream,
mid-stream and downstream applications across the value chain.
Elster's themis plus, is one of the world's first
commercial and industrial diaphragm gas meters with integrated
volume conversion that directly measures and displays the standard
volume and sends this data to the utility using its integral GPRS
modem.
Elster's Q.Sonic ®plus, a next generation ultrasonic
flow meter developed in direct response to industry demand for
higher performance and accuracy, will also be on display and
features intelligent self-diagnostics to eliminate the need for
extensive commissioning, installation and health checks.
Elster's new RABO (Rotary All By One) rotary gas meter meets
virtually all market requirements, and reduces operating costs
thanks to longer maintenance intervals and easy retrofitting with
digital encoders.
"Today's natural gas industry demands reliable and advanced
metering technologies for less overall measurement uncertainty,"
said Michael Calovini, executive
vice president of Elster's international gas business.
"As a recognized global leader in gas metering, measurement and
utilization, Elster's solutions are designed specifically to meet
the industry demand for integrated systems with high reliability,
performance and accuracy. We are delighted to be participating in
WGC2012 as it provides a world stage for Elster to demonstrate our
expertise in delivering integrated solutions that meet a wide and
diverse range of applications from the wellhead to the burner tip,"
Calovini added.
According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) World
Energy Outlook 2011, global demand for energy will increase by
one-third between 2010 and 2035, with demand for natural gas rising
the most in absolute terms. Natural gas is forecast to be the only
fossil fuel to increase its share in the global energy mix over
this period.
WGC2012 will see more than 200 companies highlighting the latest
technologies and developments in the gas industry and expects to
welcome 5,000 industry professionals and 10,000 trade visitors to
