Industries Served
Bionetics has supplied liquid and gas instrumentation for numerous applications across several industries. The list below is a representative sample of some of the key industries using Bionetics’ versatile thermal mass flow instrumentation and services (click on the industry name for further information).
Aerospace
Bionetics has made passivated flowmeters suitable for operation in a vacuum, on the space shuttle, on the space station and on autonomous satellites.
Biotech / Pharmaceutical
Bionetics’ TU and TUL flow sensors have an unrestricted tube and high-temperature design that is ideal for chemical or steam sterilization.
Chemical / Petrochemical
Chemical compatibility and low maintenance sensor designs make Rheotherm flow meters and flow switches ideal for most chemical applications, including sterile corrosive, or hazardous environments.
Cloud Seeding
For more than 40 years, Rheotherm inline thermal flow meters have been used in the demanding industrial application of cloud-seeding and weather modification systems.
Extraction
Bionetics’ unique measurement approach offers convenient solutions to the botanical oil extraction industry.
Food Beverage Processing
Bionetics’ straight through TU and TUL sensor designs have no internal seals or perturbations making them the ideal instrument for sanitary grade food and beverage applications.
Industrial Drying
Bionetics’ RheoVac® multi-sensor systems can provide important measurements to fine-tune the efficiency of your vacuum or heat drying process.
Landfills
Bionetics Rheotherm flow meters ensure accurate gas flow measurement, boosting efficiency, identifying leaks, and meeting regulatory standards in hazardous environments.
Natural Gas Service
High reliability, wide rangeability (25-25,000 SCFM), and measurement repeatability make Rheotherm flow meters and flow switches well-suited for natural gas and stack gas flow monitoring.
Nuclear Power Generation
Bionetics provides services and instrumentation for monitoring and optimizing nuclear power generation processes, including seismic analysis engineering services, RheoVac condenser monitors, and radiation-hardened flow instruments.
Nuclear/Radioactive
Since the early 1980’s, Rheotherm flow meters with high-reliability radiation hardened sensors have been used in services such as UF6, fuel reprocessing, nuclear power plant vent gas, and other radioactive environments.
Oil and Gas Production
Chemical compatibility and low maintenance sensor designs make Rheotherm flow meters and flow switches ideal for most chemical applications, including aggressive and explosive environments.
Power Generation
Measurement of condenser air in-leakage and other parameters provides critical information to aid in operating a steam surface condenser at peak efficiency.
Pulp & Paper
Rheotherm flow meters and flow switches are ideal for measuring the low flow of anything from antifoam agents to high-viscosity hardeners and dyes.
Semiconductor
Sensor wetted material options include 316L SS UHP, Hastelloy C-276 and quartz. We can even use your tubing, so the sensor material will be the same heat number as the rest of the system.
Water Treatment
Rheotherm flow instruments have a long history of use in the water treatment industry. Bionetics’ Rheotherm flow meters can measure the flow rates of chemical additives and Rheotherm flow controller can provide continuous dosing control to maintain product quality.
Wastewater Treatment
From the low flow measurement of chemical additives, to the demanding conditions of digester gas service, Rheotherm flow meters and flow switches provide useful solutions to the wastewater industry.
