The solution is obvious: use of measurement technology for direct and continuous determination of the energy quantity supplied by the combustion gas. The EMS2005 measuring system from UNION Instruments was specially developed for this application and has been optimally proven in different use scenarios. Among other things, it is the core of a comprehensive measuring concept that extends all the way to the invoicing step.

The EMS2005 consists of a combustion calorimeter from the CWD device series combined with a volumetric gas meter and a combustion value quantity converter. Based on the values measured by the calorimeter (Wobbe index) and volumetric meter, the quantity converter calculates the amount of energy transported under the current state variables and provides the result via standard interfaces.

Knowledge of the gas quality obtained in each case gives operators of thermal processes the opportunity to meet the gas quality requirements for their processes and thus safeguard their processes through regulated addition of LPG for example. The alternative would be loss of production and/or poor product quality!

All consumers (companies, public utilities, and small energy networks) benefit fiscally from transparent measurement of the energy quantity actually purchased: only this amount of energy may be invoiced and only this amount has to be paid for.
