The Challenge: Billing Issues, Poor Management, and Significant Losses
A few years ago, a power plant in Liaocheng was responsible for supplying industrial steam to a large number of clients. Due to the small steam consumption of each client and issues with initial flow meter selection, there were major discrepancies in steam measurement. This resulted in massive energy losses, which negatively impacted the plant’s revenue and management efficiency.
Vortex Flow Meters to the Rescue
After learning about the plant’s challenges, we quickly deployed a team of experts to assess the situation on-site. Through our investigation, we identified several areas for improvement: incorrect meter selection, inadequate insulation, theft prevention issues, and weak monitoring systems. The most critical issue, however, was the steam metering equipment. By replacing the old meters with our high-precision vortex flow meters, we were able to address these problems head-on. Our solution was approved, and we proceeded to upgrade the meters for nearly 80 steam users across the plant.
Significant Results: Reduced Losses and Improved Profits
Once the project was completed, the plant saw immediate improvements. With the new vortex flow meters in place, steam usage became much more accurate, and the management system was significantly strengthened. As a result, the pipeline loss rate dropped from 50% to less than 8%, dramatically reducing energy waste and boosting operational efficiency. Thanks to the precision of our vortex flow meters and the revamped management approach, the power plant was able to solve its long-standing loss issues while improving overall operations and customer satisfaction.
