CleanFUEL USA Announces Availability of Mass Flow Meter Technology

Meets Vast Global Demand for Mass Flow Meters in Propane Autogas Refueling Dispensers

Showcases Technologically Advanced Products at World LP Gas Forum, Booth #3

MIAMI, FL – WORLD LP GAS FORUM CONFERENCE AND EXPO –– October 27, 2014 – CleanFUEL USA, an industry leader in propane autogas technology, today announced the addition of mass flow meter technology to its technologically advanced line of propane autogas refueling dispensers. Global demand is high for mass flow technology, the most advanced meter technology in the world, and CleanFUEL USA is offering immediate availability for the first time in the United States and worldwide.

“The United States lags behind in meter technology adoption and CleanFUEL USA is shifting that with our offering of the mass flow meter and its vast benefits, a game-changer for fleets considering or already utilizing propane autogas,” said Curtis Donaldson, founder and managing partner of CleanFUEL USA.

“We heard often from our global customers how the mass flow meter was improving their operations and bottom line, and we are pleased to meet that international demand, and to bring mass flow meters in propane autogas dispensing to America for the first time,” he added

Mass flow meter benefits include no moving parts, greatly reduced maintenance, remote diagnostics and lifetime calibration – all at an affordable incremental cost. Together with automated process control and state-of-the-art communication interfaces (fieldbus systems), the meter offers 99.9 percent accuracy, as opposed to the 96 to 98 percent accuracy offered by other metering options, and a flow rate of 0 to 18 gallons per minute. Sourced by Endress+Hauser, a global leader in measurement instrumentation, the mass flow meter is now available in all CleanFUEL USA refueling dispensers, including the  P2000, 6000 and 7000 series.

NEW! Propane Autogas Proves a Perfect Fueling Solution for Texas School District Case Study

Alvin ISD, a Texas school district just south of Houston, converted its school bus fleet to propane autogas following the energy crisis of the 1970s. Fuel access and pricing hindered the district’s transportation department, and, after researching alternative fuels, it switched to propane autogas in 1982. After three decades, Alvin ISD has witnessed noticeable engine technology improvements and saves 50 percent on fuel costs annually compared with conventional fuels.
