The market leading SFC3000 Flow Computer has received Highly Commended recognition from the judging panel at the 2026 Instrumentation and Electronics Awards.
New software now available on the SFC3000 flow computer can calculate CO2 emissions from gas-fuelled industrial processes and power stations. It can also record the carbon captured for storage rather than released into the atmosphere.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the SFC3000 accurately measures a wide range of liquids and gases. Its flexible design allows additional functionality to be developed quickly to meet customers’ specific requirements.
Developed to meet customer requirements
The new functionality was developed for a major oil and gas provider that neededaccurate measurements of CO2 released when its gas was burned. These measurements were required for environmental reporting and to account for the levies applied to these emissions.
Ex-i Flow’s in-house hardware and software teams worked through the complex calculations, developed the additional software, and tested and released it to the customer within a short timeframe.
Users can now quantify CO2 emissions from combustion with a single SFC3000. Operating in multi-stream mode, or using an additional SFC3000, they can also record the amount of CO2 subsequently captured.
Flexible flow measurement and station supervision
The SFC3000 measures liquid hydrocarbon and gas flows in both standalone single-stream installations and complex multi-stream systems. It can operate as a standalone flow computer, a supervisory unit or a component within a larger system.
In multi-stream gas measurement applications, the SFC3000 can support sequential measurements from multiple sample points using a single emissions analyser, potentially reducing equipment costs.
A touchscreen VGA display, extensive processing capabilities, easy-to-use controls and dedicated operating software allow the SFC3000 to function as a complete station supervisor within a flow computer housing.
Designed for the global liquid hydrocarbon and gas measurement markets, the SFC3000 combines versatile, accurate measurement with state-of-the-art components to support the management and conservation of energy resources.
SFC3000 flow computer key features:
The SFC3000 flow computer should be considered the “brains” of a flow measurement system and requires a number of peripheral components to take measurements. Packaged in an industry Standard Half Width 3U High 19” rack construction suitable for panel or chassis mount. It can accommodate up to 6 user plug-in cards and up to five measurement streams in the same chassis.
