Gas Flow Measurement-Flare & Vent Gas - FOCUS® 2.0 Optical Flow Meters

Flaring is the burning of the waste natural gas associated with oil production, and over 150 billion cubic meters of gas are flared or vented into the atmosphere every year, which is costly to the environment and affects the bottom line of oil companies.

Based on the “laser-two-focus” ( L2F ) method, our optical flow meter technology is the only laser technology to reach industrial flow metering applications.

The method requires the presence of miniature droplets of condensation, lubricants, dust and other impurities in the gas stream for purpose of light scattering and consequently determining the time particles travel from one laser beam to another.

The system’s principal technology, Laser-2-Focus Velocimetry, uses laser beams to measure the gas flow by sensing the velocity of microscopic particulates naturally occurring in gas.

The Focus® 2.0 system consists of:

• A flow sensor
• An optical flow processor 
• A heater power supply
• The system includes the new user-friendly software with a Wizard mode that enables an easy step-by-step configuration of parameters.

• Gas flow measurement for flare and vent gas applications
• Flare monitoring for reducing waste & increasing process efficiency
• Emissions measurement for compliance with environmental regulations
• Bio-gas measurement applications

• Advanced, cost effective system for gas velocity and volumetric flow rate measurements independent of pressure, temperature and gas composition.
• Easily installed and maintained in the field, the system requires only one installation point in the gas line and takes less than 3 hours to install under normal conditions without, interrupting site operations or entire systems shutdown.
• The Focus® 2.0 is used to accurately measure a wide range of flow rates in a variety of pipe diameters (4”- 30” Inches).
