Improving Burner Control with Gas Chromatographs
There once was a time for industrial manufacturers when they received fairly homogeneous supplies of natural gas that did not vary much in energy content. Here in the U.S. with the rapid increase in shale gas production as part of the overall energy mix, there is more...
Offshore Overdose: How Chemical Injection Systems Can Affect Your Bottom Line
Author: Edward Bourke The failure to maintain accurate control over your chemical injection program can have a substantial impact on your profitability. Flow assurance is essential in oil and gas production, and chemical injection treatments help you achieve that by...
Vortex Flow Meter Principles of Operation
In yesterday's post, we looked at three different flow measurement technologies used in fiscal metering applications—differential pressure (DP), Coriolis, and Ultrasonic. Today let's look at flow measurement with vortex flow meters. There is a new, very educational...
Natural Gas Flowmeter Selection
Flow measurement is critical in fiscal measurement applications from custody transfer to allocations between parties. The choice of technologies is broad and dependent on the fluid being measured and properties of the application. In an Applied Automation article,...
