FLOWSIC100 EX-S
 
 
Reliable gas flow measurement for flare gas applications
For the FLOWSIC100 Flare devices the ultrasonic transducer is embedded in a flow optimized probe. The unique design reduces flow noise and signal drift to a minimum. Therefore, the FLOWSIC100 Flare devices suits excellent for measurements at very high gas velocities, and gives stable and reliable measurements.

The FLOWSIC100 EX-S is the universal cross-duct measurement for determination of the gas mass flow across the whole duct diameter. The standard version contains two sender/receiver units and a MCU control unit. The MCU is used for input and output of signals, for calculation of reference values (standardization), molecular weight, mass flow or gas volume as well as for comfortable handling via LC-display.
Applications
  • Emission control as accounting for CO2 taxes
  • Detection of flare gas leakages and gas identification
  • Optimizing of steam usage at flaregas combustion
  • Control of gas wastage
  • Accurate mass balance calculation and process optimization
