Flare stacks & headers
Hydrocarbon gases are often flared in a high-temperature oxidation process which burns combustible components of waste. Environmental laws and restrictions mandate the precise monitoring of flared gases on oil and gas platforms. A flow meter is required to monitor the waste gases.
Challenge
Consideration must be given to abruptness of flow change, low pressures, and a wide range of velocities. Thermal dispersion flowmeters are ideal instruments for flare flow measurement due to low flow sensitivity and high turndown.
Other applications
-
Chemical injection skids
Chemical agents employed in field processing include drilling fluid additives, methanol injection for reservoir stimulation, glycol injection for hydrate inhibition, produced water treatment chemicals, foam and corrosion inhibitors, de-emulsifiers, desalting chemicals and drag reduction agents (DRAs).
