New Software enables SFC3000 to calculate CO2 emissions

A new software update available for use with the SFC3000 flow computer that can calculate CO2 emissions to BS8609:2014 from gas fuelled industrial processes, or power stations and also record the carbon subsequently captured for storage facilities rather than being released into the atmosphere.

A major oil and gas company recently approached Ex~i to find a way to effectively calculate the C02 (to BS8609:2014) being expelled into the atmosphere when their gas was being burned. This was required for both environmental reasons and because of the taxable levies applied to such activities.

The EX~ Flow in-house hardware and software development teams were able to work through the complex calculations required, produce the additional software to support this new functionality and test and release it to the customer in a short space of time.

This means that by using one SFC3000 flow computer, end users can now accurately quantify the amount of CO2 being emitted when a product is burnt, and in multi-stream mode, or with an additional SFC3000, also record the amount of CO2 being subsequently captured.

The SFC3000 is a highly versatile liquid hydrocarbon and gas flow measuring device capable of operating in a stand-alone single stream flow measurement system or as part of a highly complex multi-stream system and offers a great deal more than a dedicated flow computer. It can operate on a number of levels from a supervisory machine to a standalone flow computer or as a system component. The SFC3000 may be configured to provide a multi-stream measurement solution for gas flow. Using a SFC3000 to make multiple sample point measurements can offer cost savings by allowing a single emissions analyser to make sequential measurements from many different sample points.
