FlarePhase Cryo for LNG and extreme low temperature applications
Designed for non-intrusive flow measurement in cryogenic temperatures, such as those found in the LNG and gas liquefaction industries.
Bracing the Cold
The next-gen cryogenic ultrasonic flow measurement solution
FlarePhase Cryo Forms part of the new generation of transducers and includes our ‘Active Phase Analysis Technology’ for continuous measurement optimization.
The FlarePhase Cryo is Fluenta’s solution to flow measurement at cryogenic temperatures. As part of the advanced FlarePhase range of ultrasonic transducers, the FlarePhase Cryo also comes equipped with a new piezo-electric sensor made from advanced ceramics which ensures that it can continue measuring at cryogenic temperatures for extended period of time while maintaining accuracy.
Packaged with the the FlareAmp and FlareAmp controller and also featuring the “Active Phase Analysis Technology” and continuous measurement optimisation, it boasts accuracies as high as ±0.75% making it a truly next generation ultrasonic measurement solution for cryogenic applications.
Applications
LNG and Cryogenic Gas Flows
Fluenta’s FlarePhase Cryo technology is specifically designed to operate in extreme low-temperature environments, ranging from -200°C to +250°C
Fluenta’s gas measurement solution chosen by Bechtel in Atlantic’s LNG facility, located in Trinidad and Tobago
Bechtel, a renowned Engineering, Procurement, and Construction company, is working with Fluenta to engineer a gas measurement solution for Atlantic, one of the world’s largest Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) producers.
Features and Highlights
The “Active Phase Analysis Technology” combats the issue of phase shifts, which is an inherent issue faced by ultrasonic measurement devices and results in inaccuracies. By determining the phase shifts and calculating the necessary compensation, the FlarePhase range provides laboratory levels of accuracy in the field.
The FlarePhase Cryo can be installed in either a single path or a dual path configuration. The dual path can be configured to either provide heightened security in terms of redundancy, when data continuity is of utmost importance or a more accurate measurement as with a dual path accuracy as high as ±0.75% can be achieved.
The FlarePhase Cryo is able to measure gas flows at cryogenic temperatures as low as -200°C (-328°F) for extended periods of time.
