LoCI Chairman and CEO, Peter Quigley, said, “When I first met Benny Benson from ESI and he described the FloWing product and technology, I knew it was a big step forward in improving performance, accuracy and reliability for landfill gas collection flow measurement. LoCI’s acquisition of this breakthrough technology helps us to optimize the gas collection system efficiency working closely with our clients.”
