Industries

Nistar is an industry leader in multiple industries with our specialized product line.

Oil and Gas

In the oil and gas industry, the flow of liquids and gases must be measured during every phase of exploration, production and transportation. These applications demand the highest flow meter accuracy and reliability, as well as long-term stability and a low cost-of-ownership. Nistar Flow Systems Inc. offers a broad product portfolios for use in upstream operations that span offshore to onshore activities, including well testing, enhanced oil recovery, fractionation, completion, and separation to recover and prepare crude oil and natural gas.

Power

Accurate and repeatable flow measurement of feed water flow rates are critical in the power industry. High flow rates combined with elevated pressures and temperatures can damage many technologies otherwise suited for water flow applications. Nistar has designed technologies that can withstand the erosive forces of high velocity flow while adhering to ASME and ISO standards that predict accurate discharge coefficients over a wide range of Reynolds Numbers. Nistar Flow Systems guarantees stable geometry, predictable performance, and available alloys standard for the power industry.

Petrochemical and Refining

Chemical processing involves a wide range of corrosive, aggressive liquids and gases, as well as extreme temperatures, viscosities and pressures. Flow instrumentation is required to withstand these harsh operating conditions while serving as a vital tool for production optimization.

Today’s refineries and petrochemical producers face the challenges of process efficiency, energy consumption and resource utilization. Plants are also getting larger, putting pressures on capital investment, on-stream reliability and product quality. Hydrocarbon processing plants need to optimize production, manage costs and maintain safe operations.

Mining and Minerals

Mineral mining is the extraction of minerals such as coal and precious gemstones. Coal is a significant mining product produced in substantial amounts all over the world. This mineral provides around 30% of global energy and is heavily relied upon for electricity production. Environmental concerns have led some countries to decrease coal production, yet many developing nations rely heavily on increasing coal production to sustain continued economic growth.

Aerospace

The aviation/aerospace industry has some of the most difficult operating conditions imaginable. Sensors must stand up to the environment and be able to perform under harsh conditions, fit in extremely tight spaces, and have electronics that can compensate for variable conditions providing precise, repeatable results. From fuel pumps to actuators, there is no room for compromise when validating the performance of equipment used on commercial and military aircraft.
