Some clients are located in extremely cold regions or have cryogenic process conditions which make accurate measurement very difficult as both of these put significant stress on the meters.

The client was suffering due to their exist flare gas meters being unable to cope with the process conditions and malfunctioning and providing inconsistent and incorrect readings.

Indorama Venture’s olefins plant required the installation of two flare gas meters to meet their environmental reporting requirements.

Challenge We were asked to install measurement solutions for a customer in Nigeria in a range of pipes including both a 65” and a 90” flare line, both with potentially high levels of CO2 Solution It’s important to keep the tip-to-tip sensor distance within certain limits because high CO2 would absorb transmitted signal. It’s also […]

Challenge Ultrasonic flow meters require a certain amount of straight piping free from any obstructions such as bends, valves etc. for them to measure the flow accurately. In this case the flare left the knockout drum and went immediately to the underground channel leaving not enough straight piping for a flare meter to be installed. […]

Challenge There was no power source available on-site for the several months as the flare was located in a remote area in Tabasco state, Mexico. However, due to the National Hydrocarbons Commissions (NHC) requirements the client could not bring the flare into operation without a flare meter and they did not want to wait for […]

Challenge: A client in the chemicals industry was currently using thermal mass dispersion meters to measure the amount of waste gases being discharged. They wanted to not only meet the strict regulations set by the national environmental agencies but also operate in line with their policy of exceeding these requirements to future proof their facility […]

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.   

At Fluenta, we pride ourselves on our flexible approach to problem-solving, delivering innovative solutions that exceed client expectations, no matter how challenging the problem

Challenge: In this case, there was not enough straight piping available, and modifications were not an option.
