Tech Note: Flare Gas Measurement Innovation; Retain Flow Metering Accuracy Even if Gas Composition Changes
It’s a fact oil wells almost always produce natural gas along with the petroleum. Nine times out of ten, the excess gas (typically hydrocarbons) is flared off or simply vented as-is during upset conditions in the process. The environmental impacts of “flaring” this excess gas into our atmosphere has resulted in government regulations like 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO (also known ...

Cultivating geothermal energy sources – Case Study
Since the early twentieth century, geothermal energy has been used to produce electricity. In the 1980’s and 90’s, rapid expansion in the demand for geothermal energy put pressure on suppliers to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Because of high temperatures and varying pressures, measuring steam flow through "Differential Pressure" methods was fraught with inconsistencies. ...

Cogeneration company`s steam solution - Case Study
A large North American cogeneration company produces steam, electricity and other utility services for sale to customers. They required a mass flow meter to measure steam consumption for billing purposes and to enhance system diagnostics. The engineering team first considered a "traditional" volumetric vortex flow meter because of its inherent reliability, wide turndown and high accuracy ...

The importance of recalibration
Measuring instruments, including flow meters, should provide reliable, repeatable data especially when used: for mission-critical applications like energy management to make important decisions on the best measures to reduce energy waste for accounting purposes such as to get rebates from local utility companies or the government and to allocate costs. If accurate data is so important, ...

Biogas measurement devices
As global oil prices remain high, countries around the globe are seeking renewable energy sources to increase energy efficiency and security. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas. To monetize biogas and create the most efficient fuel sources, it is critical to accurately measure how much biogas is produced in each stage of the ...

Reducing the threat of carbon soot – Case Study
The U.S. government now recognizes that black carbon soot is the number two cause of climate change and the most important component of air pollution affecting our public health. This soot, caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and firewood, is often found in huge smog-like plumes known as "atmospheric brown clouds." According to a report commissioned by the U.N. Environment Program, ...

Multipoint systems measure flare gases – Case Study
To mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, many companies reuse their biogas for cogeneration, but the amount of biogas produced often exceeds the amount needed for cogeneration. In such cases, it is often not economical to purify, compress and store the gas for later use, so it is flared off. Accurate mass flow instrumentation is essential for these companies to comply with the new EPA ...
