Flow Measurement and
Flow Control Computers By Daniel Goodwin, managing director, EX~i Flow Measurement
T
he future of gas and liquid measurement and flow control in the hydro-carbon industry, water, CO2 and hydrogen supply and emissions
measurement, innovates through a continuous process - evolution not revolution. As a leading flow computer
manufacturer, Ex~i Flow Measurement specialises in researching, developing and manufacturing measurement systems for the gas and liquid measurement industry, with a commitment to continuous product development and enhancement.
INTRODUCING THE SFC3000: Te SFC3000 is far more than just a dedicated flow computer. It can operate on a number of levels, from a supervisory machine, to a stand-alone flow computer, or as a complex system component. With its touch screen, VGA display and extensive processing capabilities, combined with simple to use controls and unique operating soſtware, it can function as a
complete station supervisor integrated into a flow computer housing. Designed primarily to meet the needs of
the worldwide liquid hydro - carbon and gas measurement markets, the SFC3000 is intended to positively contribute to both management and conservation of the world’s dwindling energy resources, by providing both versatile and accurate measurement, and incorporating state of the art designs and components. It can also be used in other measurement scenarios, e.g. water, Hydrogen and emissions.
Applications: Since its introduction in 2009, Ex~i Flow Measurement has produced over 8500 flow computers for applications including; oil rigs and gas platforms, at international transfer points, gas fired power stations and for truck/ship loading/unloading. Others can be found in the distribution network on both sides of the supply chain for producer/transporter and user. Flow computers can also be used by government entities to calculate emissions for tax purposes.
