Optical Scientific Inc Announces Optical Flow Sensor Developments
Optical Scientific Inc (OSI) has announced developments made to its advanced line of optical flow...
The FS-2000R is developed to ensure that refinery operators meet EPA MACT RSR 40 CFR 63.670 requirements for steam-assisted flare stacks.
The OFS 2000R can see through steam in the vapour phase, delivering accurate, quick-responding control signals, which enables the operator to match the steam flow exactly to the flare output and prevent oversteaming or overaeration, and maximise combustion efficiency. OFS 2000R has a 5000/1 turndown ratio, no pressure drop and is easily mounted on a steam line.
