Description

Extreme Reliability for Raw and Wet Gas

The Rugged Upstream Solution for Harsh Production Environments

The FLOWSIC600 DRU-S is a compact, innovative ultrasonic meter specifically engineered for the brutal, unpredictable conditions of upstream gas production. Whether it’s wellhead measurement, gas lift applications, or monitoring raw natural gas at treatment plants, the DRU-S delivers high-precision data where traditional orifice plates and mechanical meters suffer from erosion and drift.

Available via Hanyu Zhilian, the DRU-S helps operators eliminate costly scheduled maintenance. Its unique "Wet Gas Robust" design, featuring high-grade titanium sensors, allows it to handle significant liquid loads and dirty process conditions without degradation. With a 100:1 turndown ratio, a single FLOWSIC600 DRU-S can replace multiple orifice plate setups, significantly lowering capital investment (CAPEX) and piping complexity.

Sensor Material Corrosion-resistant Titanium
Pressure Drop Zero (Full-bore design maximizes well pressure)


Why FLOWSIC600 DRU-S Outperforms Orifice Plates

  • Massive Rangeability (100:1): Unlike orifice plates that require frequent plate changes to match changing well pressures, one DRU-S covers the entire production lifecycle of a well.

  • Liquid Load Intelligence: Equipped with a new "Liquid Indication" feature, it not only measures gas but also alerts operators when liquids are present in the stream—improving separator efficiency.

  • Maximizing Production: The full-bore design causes zero pressure drop. In aging wells, this "found" pressure can lead to directly increased production rates compared to restrictive orifice plates.

  • Erosion Resistance: Sand and liquid droplets that ruin orifice edges have no effect on the FLOWSIC600 DRU-S’s titanium transducers, ensuring years of stable calibration.

  • Hanyu Supply Advantage: We specialize in the rapid deployment of upstream measurement technology, ensuring your remote wellhead projects remain on schedule and compliant.


Application Case: Remote Wellhead Efficiency

The Challenge: A gas field operator used orifice plates for wellhead monitoring. High liquid content (wet gas) caused constant plate erosion, requiring weekly technician visits to remote, hard-to-reach sites for inspection.

The Hanyu Solution: The operator retrofitted the sites with the FLOWSIC600 DRU-S from hanyuzl.com.

  • The Result: The titanium sensors handled the liquid load with zero erosion.

  • The Impact: The Liquid Indication tool allowed for remote monitoring of well health. The operator reported zero scheduled field maintenance for a full year and a 25% increase in measurement uptime.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does "Liquid Indication" help my operations?

A: This diagnostic feature detects changes in ultrasonic signal patterns caused by liquids. It alerts you to "wet" conditions, allowing you to optimize separators or chemical injection before liquids cause downstream issues.

Q2: Can the FLOWSIC600 DRU-S handle sour gas ($H_2S$)?

A: Yes. Its titanium sensors and rugged construction are designed to resist the corrosive effects of raw gas components, including $H_2S$ and $CO_2$.

Q3: How do I manage data from remote wellheads?

A: For complete site integration, the DRU-S is ideally paired with the [SICK Flow-X High-Precision Flow Computer] flow computer. For real-time pressure monitoring at the wellhead, we also provide the [Rosemount 3051S Pressure Transmitter].

Q4: Is my project inquiry handled privately?

A: Absolutely. At Hanyu Zhilian, we strictly follow our Privacy Policy. All information shared via hanyuzl.com is used solely for technical selection and order fulfillment.
