Supporting Kentucky’s Industrial Ecosystem
Kentucky is home to a vibrant and diverse economy powered by industries that rely on accurate measurement and control systems. These sectors include:
- Manufacturing and Automotive Production: Home to major automotive manufacturers like Toyota and Ford, Kentucky’s manufacturing sector depends on flow meters, level transmitters, and gas detection systems to ensure process efficiency and worker safety.
- Water and Wastewater Management: From municipal water plants to private facilities, water treatment systems across the state require accurate conductivity sensors, turbidity meters, and water treatment controls to maintain compliance with Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection standards.
- Energy and Utilities: Kentucky’s traditional coal and natural gas operations, as well as emerging renewable energy projects, rely on high-performance control instruments such as flame detectors, fixed gas detectors, and flow measurement systems to monitor and protect critical infrastructure.
- Agriculture and Food Processing: Kentucky’s agribusinesses, including poultry processing and bourbon production, utilize precision instrumentation for quality control, fermentation monitoring, and sanitation systems.
- Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industries: With a growing life sciences sector, Kentucky companies require sterile, precise measurement and control tools for batch processes, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance.
Our Product Portfolio
At Meters & Controls Company Inc., we offer a wide range of process and instrumentation solutions, designed to meet the stringent demands of industrial operations throughout Kentucky.
Flow Meters
Whether you’re managing water flow in treatment facilities or measuring chemicals in manufacturing plants, our flow meters deliver the accuracy and dependability required to keep your systems running smoothly. We offer a variety of technologies, including electromagnetic, ultrasonic, turbine, and positive displacement meters, each suited to specific applications and flow conditions.
Our flow meters help Kentucky industries comply with EPA and KDEP requirements by ensuring that fluid measurement is consistently accurate and traceable. These devices are essential for managing resource consumption, process efficiency, and wastewater discharge reporting.
Fixed and Portable Gas Detectors
Gas detection is essential for safety and regulatory compliance, especially in facilities dealing with hazardous materials. We supply both fixed and portable gas detectors that monitor a wide range of gases, including carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ammonia.
Portable gas detectors are ideal for field workers and confined space entry, while fixed detectors provide continuous monitoring in critical areas like boiler rooms, chemical storage, or processing zones. Our multi-gas monitors offer additional flexibility, allowing simultaneous detection of several gases.
These products help Kentucky businesses meet OSHA, KOSH, and NFPA standards, enhancing both worker safety and facility compliance.
Flame Detectors
Fire safety is a top concern in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, and food processing. Our flame detectors provide rapid detection of open flames through UV, IR, and multi-spectrum technologies. With high sensitivity and false-alarm immunity, they are ideal for use in volatile environments where early detection is crucial.
In Kentucky, where industrial safety regulations are strictly enforced, flame detectors serve as an essential line of defense in protecting assets and lives while maintaining compliance with state fire codes and insurance requirements.
Water Treatment Controls and Sensors
Clean water is a shared priority throughout Kentucky, from the Ohio River basin to Appalachian communities. Our water treatment controls include conductivity sensors, turbidity meters, pH monitors, and chemical dosing controllers—all essential for maintaining water quality.
Municipalities, industrial dischargers, and private water utilities rely on these instruments to remain compliant with KDEP regulations under the Clean Water Act and local permits. Our products help automate data collection, ensuring reliable performance during audits and inspections.
Level Transmitters
Proper level measurement is vital in industries handling liquids, powders, or bulk solids. Our level transmitters—available in radar, ultrasonic, and hydrostatic variants—are used for tank level monitoring, batch processes, and inventory control.
In Kentucky’s distilleries, energy plants, and manufacturing sites, these instruments support operational efficiency while preventing costly overfills or shortages. Our transmitters are designed to handle harsh environments, extreme temperatures, and high-pressure systems.
Meter Rentals and Measurement Analysis Services
For clients with temporary or emergency measurement needs, we offer meter rentals backed by expert guidance. These include flow meters, gas monitors, and more. Whether you need equipment for a plant startup, compliance test, or system calibration, our rental program ensures you’re covered without a large upfront investment.
Our measurement analysis services provide valuable insights into your process performance, helping to identify inefficiencies, support maintenance planning, and verify regulatory compliance.
