The October issue of Flow Control magazine marks the conclusion of the 2013 Flow Control Innovation Awards program, as we present
our annual “Case Studies in Innovation” section, showcasing real-world applications of this year’s winning technologies. We presented
final nominees in the May issue of Flow Control, and after open reader voting through July 1, the technologies highlighted in this issue were determined to be this year’s Flow Control Innovation Award winners.

This year’s winners include novel technology solutions for oil & gas emissions monitoring, high-pressure gas delivery, mercury-free medical extrusion, precision chemical dosing, critical hydraulic test, among others. I encourage you to read the “Case Studies In Innovation” section (page 16) to gain a better understanding for how the technologies recongnized in this year’s Flow Control Innovation Awards program are being employed to the benefit of real-world applications. I thank all who participated in the Innovation Awards program—from the nominees to the voters—and I congratulate this year’s winners for a job well done. The time and effort solution providers put into developing technologies that more effectively address our most pressing application needs deserves to be recognized … Kudos to you all.
