Yes it would be ludicrous to place the flow meter on the return line
from the third party's equipment rather than measuring the flow directly
going into the reactors.

It is ludicrous to suggest it would be on the condensate return
pipe from the customer.
Actually, there would be nothing ludicrous about this at all if the
flowmeter were placed at the bottom of a U. This would work fine. It
would be just as good as placing the thing next to the pumps, or
between the reservoir and pumps. The flowmeter only works with liquid
water, not steam, so it has to be placed at one of these three
locations. It will measure the entire volume of water at any of the
three, so they would be equally okay.
To measure enthalpy, you also have to also measure the steam quality,
with some other instrument. I do not think Rossi did that.
