Flare gas ultrasonic flow-meter
GF868
GE Measurement & Control
The GF868 flare gas flowmeter improves the efficiency of petrochemical plants, refineries and offshore platforms. It uses a proprietary algorithm to determine instantaneously the molecular weight and mass flow rate of the flare gas. The meter is used to conserve energy and reduce product loss by identifying sources of leaks into the flare systems. It also helps improve compliance with pollution-control regulations and reduces energy usage by accurately controlling the amount of steam fed to the flare tip.
