Flare Gas Measurement & Control Solutions
by Panametrics
Ultrasonic flow metersand emissions management solutions for superior flare gas flow measurement and control

For over four decades, Panametrics has used ultrasonic meters to providea better way to measure gas flare, but the unique requirements of today’s flare gas measurement and control applications now require more complex solutions.

At Panametrics, we offerIoT Oil & Gas solutionsfor measuring, monitoring, and controlling flare gas flow, reducing emissions, lowering costs, and bringing greater reliability to your upstream, midstream, or downstream operations.

Ourextensive knowledge of flare applicationsprovides more than just flow information. With tools like the耀斑.IQ平台,利用先进的过程控制器l algorithm, we are able to work with our customers to efficiently control flares, while also providing world-class ultrasonic flowmeters, services, and training you need to keep your operation running smoothly.

Let's keep it short
Ensuring performance even when conditions are uncertain

Every installation is unique, but most were not designed with metering in mind. Short, straight runs and the uncertain impact of instrumentation and piping arrangements can significantly affect performance. We can help you understand these effects and reduce uncertainty



Flare Management Solutions For Every Sector of Oil and Gas
Upstream Solutions

Upstream Challenges:

  • Understanding mass balance andadjusting for optimal performance
  • Accurate emissions reportingfor regional compliance and carbon footprint reduction
  • Affordable digital validation, especially for remote (offshore) environments

Panametrics Solutions:

  • DigitalFlow GF868- The DigitalFlow GF868 from Panametrics is a highly versatile, high-performance flowmeter capable of many configurations with a large display and ample space for complicated wiring. Several options exist for I/O, including the ability to handle two flare lines with one box. The DigitalFlow GF868 isideally suited in Zone 2 applications but can be fitted with a Zone 1 enclosure when required. Setup is simple through its large display and intuitive interface. The DigitalFlow GF868 works with all Panametrics gas transducers and is backward compatible with all older model Panametrics meters, including the original 7100 and its digital replacement, the 7168.
  • DigitalFlow XGF868i- The DigitalFlow XGF868i from Panametrics is a compact and explosion-proof/flame-proof transmitter version of the Panametrics DigitalFlow GF868 flare gas mass flow meter. The DigitalFlow XGF868 isideally suited for offshore installations with harsh environments and limited spacebut can be applied downstream in refineries and petrochemical plants where Zone 1 is required.
  • 耀斑.IQ- The flare.IQ Advanced Flare Control and Digital Verification by Panametrics, a Baker Hughes business, has a proven track record in optimizing flare operations. Our flare.IQ flare control solutionreduces methane emissions, ensures high-efficiency flare combustion, and reduces steam usage in flare systems.

Supporting Services:

  • Flow Profile Analysis Service (CFD)- By leveraging our expertise in flowmeters and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Panametrics implement USM flow profile accuracy correction factors for a variety of piping run conditions that compare favorably to accuracies normally obtained in straight-runs of 20D or more. All you have to do is provide us with an isometric drawing of your existing or planned installation, along with the process parameters, andwe will model your flow and define a set of correction factorsthat will cover a wide range of flow and process conditions.
  • FlareCare SSA- Through one of our FlareCare SSA packages, you canreduce riskby avoiding lead times associated with standard transactional services,reduce costs and liabilitiesby reducing the need for scaffolding installation and transducer extraction, and enjoy proactive scheduling with an established timeline for your annual verifications as well as quarterly and preventative maintenance requirements. Additionally, you caneliminate the need for annual inspectionswith on-demand digital verifications when your FlareCare SSA is powered by flare.IQ.

Downstream Challenges:

  • Thehidden costs of oversteamingand how to accurately gauge just how much steam you really need
  • Variable gas compositionsand the hardware to account for them
  • Variable flare control- not all technologies can measure and adjust for these changes
  • Hazardous gases, sometimes acidic - not all technologies can handle these environments
  • Regulatory compliance in some of the mostsensitive areas from an environmental POVrequires the highest degree of accuracy and uptime
