PanaFlare XGF1100-3

Simple installation The flow meter system consists of one or more pairs of transducers and insertion mechanism for each channel, and an XGF1100. The transducers can be installed as part of a flowcell, or directly into the pipe with a hot‑ or cold- tapping procedure. The XGF1100 meter can be located up to 1,000 ft (~300 m) from the transducers. Typical meter set-up for standard volumetric or hydrocarbon mass flow. Best technology for flare gas Ultrasonic flow measurement, the ideal technology for flare gas applications, is independent of gas properties, and does not generally interfere with the...

PanaFlare XGF1100-4

PanaFlare XGF1100 Datasheet I PANAMETRICS The Correlation Transit-Time technique has distinct advantages over other methods of flare gas flow measurement, and it is used to solve a variety of difficult problems. Typically, gas in flare stacks, headers or laterals is a mixture of components from different sources. Flow rate in flare systems may be unsteady or even bidirectional. Pulsating pressure, varying composition and temperature, harsh environment, and wide flow range further complicate the measurement. With the zero routing flaring policy gaining ground, a lot of flare systems are running...

PanaFlare XGF1100-5

Multi-path/channel model standard XGF1100 is the first ultrasonic flare transmitter that can offer up to 4 paths. As global regulation is tightening and flare gas measurement is becoming more of a fiscal metering, multi-path flare configuration is becoming more demanding than ever for reasons including accuracy improvement, tolerance of non-ideal installation conditions and measurement redundancy. Once again, Panametrics is pushing the technology frontier by launching an up to 4 path flare transmitter. The XGF1100 uses a patented method for calculating the average molecular weight of hydrocarbon...

Identify leaks, reduce steam usage, improve plant balance, and comply with emissions regulation Higher accuracy mass flow data and more precise knowledge of flare gas composition can improve the efficiency of plant operation. Leaks/lost product Detection of even a small increase in flow rate into the flare system may indicate a leak source such as a partially unseated relief valve. An accompanying change in the average molecular weight of the flare gas may be used to help locate the leak source. Quick identification and elimination of leak sources into the flare system saves significant amounts...
