## 01 Technological Breakthrough: Innovative Design of Ultrasonic Flow Meters
Biogas, as a renewable clean energy source, holds significant development potential in Africa. However, traditional vortex and turbine flow meters **easily corrode and damage** under conditions of high hydrogen sulfide and moisture, leading to inaccurate measurement and shortened service life.
Henan Felix’s FXUF Ultrasonic Biogas Flow Meter uses specially designed ceramic ultrasonic sensors, demonstrating **superior corrosion resistance** that greatly enhances the equipment’s durability in harsh environments.
Unlike traditional gas flow meters that only measure flow rate, this ultrasonic flow meter integrates multiple functions. It can simultaneously measure **biogas flow rate, composition, temperature, and pressure parameters**, achieving multiple uses in one device.
Particularly its CH4 concentration measurement capability provides crucial data support for biogas product subsidy policies, overcoming the limitation of traditional gas flow meters being unable to perform this important task.
## 02 African Applications: Exceptional Performance Adapting to Harsh Environments
Biogas projects in Africa often face environmental challenges of high temperatures and humidity, placing extreme demands on the stability and reliability of measurement equipment.
The Felix Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter can operate stably in conditions with **up to 99% environmental humidity**, with an operating temperature range covering **-10℃ to 40℃**, fully adapting to various climate conditions in Africa.
Addressing the frequent problem of unstable power supply in remote African areas, this flow meter features a flexible power supply design – supporting both **external DC5V power supply and built-in battery** dual power modes, ensuring continuous operation capability.
Its communication interface supports RS485, facilitating remote data transmission and monitoring, enabling centralized management possibilities for dispersed biogas projects across Africa.
## 03 Management Innovation: Leap from Measurement to Intelligent Operations
Henan Felix’s ultrasonic flow meter not only achieves precise measurement but also brings intelligent transformation to biogas project operation management.
Through **mobile remote control functionality**, managers can automatically close/open main pipeline valves during non-gas usage/gas usage periods without needing to travel to the site, significantly reducing operational costs.
Utilizing the **low-flow measurement characteristics** of ultrasound, the equipment can automatically determine biogas pipeline leaks, ensuring system safety and economic operation.
By analyzing daily biogas flow and composition data, managers can accurately assess the operational status of biogas projects, scientifically decide feeding and slag removal times, and optimize production efficiency.
## 04 China-Africa Win-Win: New Chapter in Green Energy Cooperation
The entry of Henan Felix’s ultrasonic flow meters into the African market represents a concrete achievement of China-Africa cooperation in the green energy sector.
This technical cooperation extends beyond product sales, bringing advanced concepts for the overall operation of biogas projects.
In the African continent, abundant organic waste and agricultural residues provide sufficient raw materials for biogas production.
Precise measurement technology provides a reliable data foundation for **cost-benefit analysis and subsidy policy implementation** of African biogas projects, attracting more investment into this sector.
As African countries continue to increase their emphasis on renewable energy, biogas – as a localized, sustainable energy solution – is facing new development opportunities.

At a biogas project in Nigeria, local technicians remotely monitor real-time data transmitted by the FXUF through a mobile APP. The numbers displayed by the flow meter represent **more than just data** – they depict the future of energy autonomy in rural Africa.
Biogas generated from agricultural waste, after precise measurement, is delivered to every household. Behind this process, Chinese-made flow meters ensure fairness and efficiency in energy distribution.
Without diplomatic rhetoric, without grand cooperation frameworks, in this interaction between metal and gas, China-Africa green energy cooperation is writing a new chapter.
