베이커휴즈 Panametric의 플레어 측정 분야 기술은 수년간 폭넓게 발전해 왔습니다. 자사는 이제 고급 공정 제어 알고리즘인 flare.IQ 및 초음파 유량계 및 서비스를 통해 고객의 플레어 효율 제어를 지원하고 있습니다.
Panametrics는 플레어 분야의 광범위한 지식과 최첨단 초음파 계량기 기술을 바탕으로 최적의 솔루션을 제공합니다. 자사는 지난 40여 년 동안 다양한 분야를 대상으로 우수한 측정 서비스를 제공했지만, 플레어 가스 분야의 특별한 니즈를 충족하려면 그에 맞는 다양한 기능들이 필요하다는 점을 인식하였습니다.
따라서 Panametrics는 유량이 기존 장비의 유량 범위를 초과하는 이상 조건에서도 측정을 계속할 수 있는 특별한 초음파 계량기를 개발하였습니다. 정상적인 작동에서는 로우엔드 흐름을 전달하는 이 계량기에는 제한이 없으며 플레어에 안전 문제를 유발할 수 있는 배압을 생성하지 않습니다. 또한 탄화수소 가스의 분자량을 결정할 수 있으며 어떤 종류의 가스가 플레어인지 식별할 수 있는 질량 유량 측정 기능을 제공합니다.
오늘날 플레어 시스템에 대한 니즈는 확장되어 단순히 유량 흐름을 파악하고 대량의 분자량을 이해하는 것 이상을 요구합니다. 메탄 가스와 같은 온실 가스 배출량을 줄여 환경에 미치는 전반적인 영향을 줄여야 한다는 사회적인 요구가 증가함에 따라 효율적인 연소 시스템과 정밀한 계량 기술이 더욱 중요해지고 있습니다. Panametrics는 플레어 가스의 BTU 함량을 결정하는 새로운 고급 공정 제어 알고리즘을 적용한 플레어 계량기를 통해 이 문제를 해결했습니다.
대부분의 배출량 기준 조건이 제어방식에 따라 75~90%인 반면 Panametrics의 플레어 지원 시스템 제어는 98% CE를 달성할 수 있습니다.
Product Portfolio
Upstream Challenges:
- Understanding mass balance and adjusting for optimal performance
- Accurate emissions reporting for 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 is ideally 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 is ideally suited for offshore installations with harsh environments and limited space but can be applied downstream in refineries and petrochemical plants where Zone 1 is required.
- Flare.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 solution reduces 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, and we will model your flow and define a set of correction factors that will cover a wide range of flow and process conditions.
- FlareCare SSA - Through one of our FlareCare SSA packages, you can reduce risk by avoiding lead times associated with standard transactional services, reduce costs and liabilities by 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 can eliminate the need for annual inspections with on-demand digital verifications when your FlareCare SSA is powered by flare.IQ.
Midstream Challenges:
- Difficulty in accurately measuring large, low flow, low pressure gases such as LNG
- Difficulty with very cold flares and their associated boil-off gases
- Mass balancing and accurately measuring how much you are losing production-wise

Downstream Challenges:
- The hidden costs of oversteaming and how to accurately gauge just how much steam you really need
- Variable gas compositions and 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 most sensitive areas from an environmental POV requires the highest degree of accuracy and uptime
