We’re on to such an industry such as:
Food & Beverage
Panametrics clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meters measure Non-Intrusively and Non-Invasively. For this reason, they are variable and hygienic metering solutions for the food, Drinking Industries. The food, drinking industries are usually characterized by a high water consumption and considerable waste water dis-charge volumes.
For this reason, they face significant costs for water supply and trade effluent disposal. In addition to that, there are pumping, water and effluent treatment costs to be considered. Expenses for water supply and waste disposal, increased global competition in Food & Drinking industry, rising of raw material prices and energy supply rates drive the importance of having more efficient and optimized production processes.
Geothermal
Why Geothermal Energy? It is a renewable energy source because heat is continuously produced inside the earth. Even in geothermal areas dependent on a reservoir of hot water, the volume taken out can be reinjected, making it a sustainable energy source.
With a reach that extends across the globe, Panametrics’ critical measurement solutions for flow and steam are enabling geothermal operators to increase reliability, reduce its labor costs and improve the technology with advanced diagnostics.
Hydrogen Solutions
Hydrogen is one of the fastest growing market segments today. It is one of the key solutions in achieving a net zero emissions economy by 2050. Hydrogen is being used to replace traditional fossil fuels in many applications, for example: fuel for heavy vehicles; a substitute for natural gas to provide heating; and as a means of storing energy.
Panametrics can play right across the hydrogen value chain, from production and transportation to utilization. Today the majority of hydrogen is produced from natural gas in a process called steam methane reforming. This is an energy intensive process and a significant contributor to global emissions.
A second way to produce hydrogen is to separate water into its constituent parts of hydrogen and oxygen, through a process called electrolysis. If the electrolysis process is powered by renewable energy like solar or wind, you have completely emissions free hydrogen, or “Green Hydrogen”. Both the steam methane reforming and electrolysis processes need sensors to determine the quality of the hydrogen they are producing.
This is where Panametrics comes in to play. With our sensor technologies, we measure the hydrogen purity and also impurities in the hydrogen such as moisture and oxygen. Reach our team of experts to learn different technology options for the different measurements required, including thermal conductivity for hydrogen purity, electrochemical fuel cell for oxygen, aluminum oxide and laser for moisture.
LNG Solutions
At Panametrics, we know that metrics matter – especially when it comes to LNG production. That’s why we’re committed to producing LNG solutions that deliver reliable, high-accuracy measurements – even in extreme conditions – for safer operations and more uptime. Building on our extensive experience measuring gas and liquid flow in all LNG stages, we’re able to offer solutions for pre-treatment all the way through to regasification.

Pharma and Healthcare Solutions
The pharmaceutical and healthcare industries maintain maximum levels of safety and exceptionally clean, contamination-free processes to ensure that pharmaceuticals, medical devices and patient care are delivered with the highest degree of purity and integrity.
Maintaining purity during surgical operations and other critical medical procedures is paramount to physicians, medical personnel and healthcare workers. These procedures take place in clean rooms that rely on the purest air quality, continually delivering clean air through a system of pipes that run throughout the clean rooms. The pipes undergo a regular “Clean in Place” (CIP) and/or “Sterilization in Place” (SIP) process to ensure the pipelines remain clean.
The recent introduction of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) substantially reduces hazardous air quality conditions, delivering the utmost in clean and safe environments.
In addition to the air purity imperative, our pharmaceutical and healthcare industries continue to uphold maximum levels of safety, exceptional productivity, and Corporate Social Responsibility
District Energy
The key to energy management begins with flow measurement. There are many variables in large buildings, cities and complexes that can complicate the measurement.
As energy costs rise, energy efficiency becomes increasingly important. This has been recognized in both public and private sectors. Energy efficiency affects all aspects of our lives and no more so than in the building environment. Forty percent of energy consumption and carbon emissions in Europe and the United States comes from the way our buildings are lit, cooled and heated. Even comparatively small changes in energy performance and the way we use each building will have a significant effect in reducing total energy consumption.
Ultrasonic solutions for steam flow measurement can provide advantages over traditional technologies, such as:
- The ability to measure steam during the off-season, during lower consumption usage
- A wider range of coverage for flow rates
- Reduces steam generation costs due to no pressure drop
Power Generation
The success of human activity in today’s world depends on continuous, reliable energy and power generation. Both are critical to maintaining the health and well-being of our global populations.
The demand for safe and reliable energy and power generation is expected to grow as people in countries across the world gain access to electricity. Regional energy requirements vary significantly depending on available resources to generate power, oversee local climate change regulations and manage greenhouse gas reduction.
Energy produced from fossil fuel sources such as coal, oil and gas, with gas being the greener option of the two, have proven to be staunchly reliable over decades. The relatively recent emergence of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric and geothermal technical achievements offer comparatively green options that lead to cleaner air.
Power generation is connected to the electrical grid with multiple flow measurements required to monitor the energy produced while increasing overall plant efficiency, which implements the optimal solution for the best possible outcome while complying with environmental regulations.

Today’s semiconductor industry drives the electronics business. Recently cyclical, knowledgeable observers expect the semiconductor growth to continue with increased demand from the entire electronics value chain: computers and peripheral devices, consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial electronics, defense, space and transportation. The industry remains volatile and must adapt at a rapid pace.
Steel Solutions
The highly competitive Steel industry anticipates to grow at a steady and slow pace for several years, despite some residual overcapacity. However, the trend toward a circular economy aimed at continued use of resources and elimination of waste, along with enhanced Corporate Social Responsibility, may sustain the pace without a further economic contraction.
The heavy industrial processes produced by steel mills, and metal heat treatment operations require multiple analysis points for process control and safety. They also use thousands of flow measurement points at their facilities and consume energy at a high rate.
Water and Wastewater
The water industry currently endures significant challenges caused by rapid urbanization, climate change and rising customer demands. Operators must ensure a sufficient water supply while managing resources by tracking and maintaining network efficiency, identifying leaks, and improving network segmentation while maintaining availability.
For 60 years, we have been solving the challenges our customers experience everyday across several industries. We know how critical it is for Water and wastewater companies for tracking and maintaining network efficiency, identifying leaks, and processing raw water to make it potable as well as water treatment plants to release it safely into our environment.
