While natural gas is generally clean-burning, with significantly lower levels of harmful emissions than other fossil fuels (oil and coal), raw natural gas from the drilling process is far from clean.

This month, we feature Integrity Fusion Products HDPE ball valves in our Linc Energy Systems Product Showcase.

Dualco now offers a SCADA-Operated Lubrication Unit (S.O.L.U.), which is a portable digital interface intended for remote operation to maintain proper lube levels in lubricated valves.

This article intends to address the basics of SCADA and its applications and uses in the oil and gas industry, and to educate on some of the field equipment and instrumentation that supports industrial control systems.

Dualco has released the new D.A.M.™; an automated multiple-point lubrication system designed explicitly for operation and maintenance of oil and gas valves.

In my earlier posts, I always encourage customers to call me, or our experienced staff to have their regulators sized for their applications. Every once in a while, a customer will ask for the links to the regulator sizing programs. For this reason, I am providing links to manufacturers' sites who offer programs, calculators, or sizing tools below. Please know, however, we still prefer to size our regulators the old-fashioned way. In other words, collect the information and message us, or call us at (303) 697-6701.

We are happy to announce that Linc Energy Systems is now an authorized distributor for BelGas Regulator, a division of Marsh Bellofram.

The EC 350 was introduced in 2015 as Honeywell Mercury's newest gas volume corrector (ECV) designed to optimize and simplify custody transfer and industrial natural gas measurement. During that introduction, Honeywell published an eBook titled "Six Reasons to Adopt Honeywell's EC 350 Electronic Volume Corrector." In this post, I will paraphrase the reasons, and suggest another reason, the EC 350's predecessor, the Mini-Max, will not be manufactured after June 1, 2019.

GAZOMAT has released the second generation GAZOSCAN remote methane laser detector, offering new upgrades, improvements and the reason GAZOSCAN is becoming the one to watch.

The young year of 2019 has been a year of transition and change. I am sad to announce that another industry comrade and very dear friend to me and my company, passed on January 14.

With the new year, my company enters its 29th year in business, and I'm reminded of the passing of Mr. Dick Hannan, formerly of Mercury Instruments, who had a significant influence on my life and my company.
