Well, as long as you can get the flow meter data to the historian for reporting.&nbsp; It\u2019s one thing run your plant reliable but when you can\u2019t prove it, is when it\u2019s a problem for biofuels credits.&nbsp; One of our biofuels customers was having trouble with their internet connections at several remote sites.&nbsp; It was found out the hard way that the SCADA clients were failing to store and forward the historical data to the cloud historian when the internet was restored.&nbsp; This happened not only when the internet went down but also data was lost when the HMI was rebooted as it is also the historian gateway.&nbsp; The SCADA vendor was unable to recover the data and the customer lost months of flow meter data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get paid for methane credits producers must provide the flow meter data that proves methane was either destroyed by a flare or put into a pipeline.&nbsp; The government will not average missing flow meter data, so the producer loses out on the government credits.&nbsp; It was this situation that caused Helle Engineering to jump into action and engineer a solution.&nbsp; We designed small micro historians to independently collect data and a client application to search &amp; backfill the missing data in the plant historian.&nbsp; With our system we can store up to 500 tags for six months and can talk to many different PLC controllers.&nbsp; All our micro historian installations are based on redundant micro historian pairs and installed with our UPS panels.&nbsp; This ensures that our micro historian systems can continue to collect data when the plant has lost power and the process is sent to the flare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, think of our micro historians as an insurance policy that will pay for itself when you need it.&nbsp; Imagine your plant historian server has crashed and you are unable to extract your flow meter data for monthly reporting.&nbsp; Without proof there are no payments for methane credits.&nbsp; Our micro historian client works with PI and Aveva Insight.&nbsp; The data can be exported to excel or imported into the historian directly.&nbsp; We have designed our micro historian system to ensure that your flow meter data is secure and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Helle Engineering Micro Historian Client\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vw6y_sIDaYw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
