The Flare-XT is specifically engineered to overcome the limitations of conventional meters.
Unrivaled Velocity Tracking: While standard meters fail above 80 m/s, the Flare-XT tracks flows up to 120 m/s, ensuring data integrity during emergency blowdowns.
Direct Mass Flow (No Analyzer Required): Patented algorithms calculate mass flow directly by correlating sound velocity with gas properties, reducing your TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
Superior Low-Flow Sensitivity: Detects leaks as slow as 0.03 m/s, allowing for significant gas recovery and emission reduction.
Hanyu Logistics Advantage: We ensure compliant technical selection and rapid international delivery, backed by our proven success in the Middle East and beyond.
The Challenge: A natural gas processing facility faced inconsistent readings during peak flare events, leading to inaccurate environmental reporting and high maintenance costs.
The Hanyu Solution: We supplied the FLOWSIC100 Flare-XT, integrating it with their existing SCADA via the FLOWgate™ interface.
Result: The facility achieved 99.9% uptime even during high-velocity discharge.
Efficiency: The remote health-check capability reduced dangerous flare stack climbs by 60%, significantly improving onsite personnel safety.
Q1: How does the Flare-XT handle gas composition changes?
A: The system utilizes ultrasonic time-of-flight technology combined with proprietary algorithms to determine molecular weight in real-time. This allows for accurate mass flow calculation even when the gas composition varies significantly.
Q2: Can this meter be serviced without shutting down the flare?
A: Yes. When configured with a retractable probe or a cross-duct installation with ball valves, sensors can be extracted and maintained without a process shutdown, ensuring continuous operation.
Q3: Does Hanyu Zhilian provide technical support for international projects?
A: Absolutely. Through
