Gas Flow Measurement & Control - Aeration Applications
Many processes include gas flow measurement and control. Gas flow meters are standard in laboratories, machinery, industry, hazardous areas, and various markets, including the analytical market, the chemical industry, renewable energy, the semiconductor industry, the food and beverage industry, and surface treatment.
Applications for Aeration
Aeration is when air, oxygen, carbon dioxide, or other gases circulate, mix, or dissolve in a liquid or substance.
Aeration applications are typical in food and beverage markets, wastewater treatment, fish tanks, and fish farms. Controlling oxygen levels in beer brewing and winemaking, for example, allows fermentation. Milk, sparkling water, and other carbonated beverages, such as cola require a throughflow of gases to remove odors or add CO2. Industrial gas flow control, similar to air pumps in a fish aquarium, is used to aerate ponds to grow fish or algae.

- Winemaking and beer brewing

Mark 75A Advantage: An Actuator with Modularity and Stackability
The new actuator design has an effective diaphragm area of 25 square inches per module and can be stacked to increase the total effective area to 50 or 75 square inches. The use of aluminum in the construction ensures a lightweight automated package.
Mark 75A Advantage: Less Weight
The Mark 75A has a significant weight advantage over other valve designs. A 4" Mark 75A with a 75M actuator weighs 27 lbs. Because of the lightweight and reduced envelope dimensions, transportation, installation, and support costs are lower.
