FlarePhase with High Levels of Carbon Dioxide

FlarePhase Technology: A Solution for High CO2 Process Conditions

Fluenta’s FlarePhase technology is engineered to handle the demanding conditions of flare gas measurement in high carbon dioxide (CO2) environments. Traditional ultrasonic meters struggle with signal attenuation caused by CO2, which absorbs ultrasonic signals and diminishes accuracy. FlarePhase overcomes these challenges with advanced features that ensure precise and reliable measurements, even in extreme gas compositions.

Challenges in Measuring Flare Gas with High CO2 Levels

Carbon dioxide presents a significant obstacle in flare gas measurement. At concentrations of 30% or higher, ultrasonic signals are heavily attenuated, often blending with background noise, which can lead to unreliable data. This poses problems for operators who must comply with environmental regulations and accurately report their emissions. Fluenta’s FlarePhase system is specially designed to address these challenges, ensuring precise measurements even when CO2 levels are high.

Advanced Signal Processing with FlarePhase for Reliable Data

Fluenta’s FlarePhase technology employs custom waveforms like CHIRP to overcome the problem of signal absorption in high CO2 environments. By optimizing signal processing techniques, FlarePhase allows for accurate “Time of Flight” measurements, even when the received signals are weakened. This ensures that operators can still obtain the necessary data for regulatory reporting, regardless of the gas composition.

Real-Time Monitoring and Calibration for Optimal Performance

One of the standout features of Fluenta’s FlarePhase transducers is their real-time calibration capability. Each transducer includes sensors that continuously monitor its operational characteristics, such as temperature and phase shifts. This real-time data enables the system to automatically adjust its signal output, ensuring consistent accuracy without the need for manual recalibration. This feature is particularly useful in dynamic process environments where conditions can shift unexpectedly.

Wide Temperature Range for Extreme Environments

Another key advantage of Fluenta’s FlarePhase technology is its ability to operate across a wide temperature range, from -200°C to +350°C. This flexibility makes it ideal for extreme environments, such as offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, and gas processing facilities, where temperature fluctuations are common. The transducers maintain high accuracy and reliability, regardless of process conditions, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted measurement of flare gas.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance and Environmental Responsibility

For oil and gas operators, FlarePhase technology provides the precision needed to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. As CO2 levels in flare stacks rise, Fluenta’s solution enables operators to report accurate gas volumes, helping them reduce their environmental impact and comply with governmental requirements. The ability to measure in real-time and adjust to process conditions further enhances operational efficiency, cutting down on maintenance costs and downtime.

Conclusion: FlarePhase is the Future of Flare Gas Measurement

Fluenta’s FlarePhase technology offers a state-of-the-art solution for accurate flare gas measurement in high CO2 conditions. Its advanced signal processing, real-time monitoring, and wide temperature operating range make it an indispensable tool for the oil and gas industry. By ensuring compliance and improving operational efficiency, Fluenta is helping operators navigate the complexities of modern emissions management with confidence.
