Offshore exploration and production require maximum uptime under harsh conditions. Manned and unmanned facilities need reliable integrated control and safety systems
No matter whether it’s a conventional field, a fracking operation or an offshore platform, FCI’s air/gas flow meters and liquid/gas flow and level switches have supported oil and gas production since 1964. Their rugged no-moving parts thermal dispersion sensors offer built-in temperature compensation for high accuracy and withstand 100:1 turndowns in oil and gas production. The entire instrument includes hazardous area Ex approvals and SIL safety ratings. They are easy to install, need virtually no maintenance with long life and offer low total lifecycle costs.

Boiler Fuel Gas and Air Optimization
Carefully monitoring the natural gas flow fueling plant boilers minimizes fuel consumption, lowers plant energy costs and reduces pollutant emissions. Optimizing the fuel-to-air ratio for boiler control helps to both reduce plant fuel costs and protect the environment. The natural gas flow measurement solution provided by model ST80, ST100A thermal mass flow meters.

Flare Gas Measurement
Flaring systems are used to burn-off and dispose of waste, excess or off-gases and as a safety system to protect processes and equipment. They are found throughout the world in oil, gas, petrochemical refining and other industrial processing plants. Flare flow meters are a critical component used in these systems that measure, monitor and report these gas flows.

Natural Gas Measurement
Many flare systems include an assist gas line, such as natural gas, to ensure effective and efficient combustion. Inline-type (spool-piece) thermal flow meters, such as FCI Models ST80L and ST100AL, support flare gas flow control, measure flare gas consumption and flow rate, as well as providing totalized flow data.

Stack Gas Monitoring
Flue gases need to be monitored accurately for process control data and reporting, which is often mandated by environmental and regional air quality regulations. Single- or multi-point air/gas mass flow meters, such as FCI’s Model MT100, ST102AA offer accurate and cost effective solutions to flue gas measurement. Thermal dispersion insertion flow meters provide a cost effective and accurate solution to flue gas flow measurement.
