Leak detection system
Leak detection via differential flow in hydrocarbon lines
Leak detection: hydrocarbon line safety
Secure transportation of liquid hydrocarbons emphasizes environmental and safety priorities. The pipelines and the facilities required for their operation (pumping stations and tank farms) are subject to maintenance and inspection plans that ensure, on the one hand, the reliability and safety of the processes and, on the other hand, the integrity of the facilities throughout their lifetime. Among others, advanced leak detection systems are necessary to monitor the pipelines continuously. Measuring flow accurately is key, considering density and temperature for mass balance. And reliable data transfer is needed to ensure the pipeline integrity and environmental protection

The Flexim FLUXUS H721 is Flexim’s flow and analytical measuring system for the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI). This sophisticated and highly accurate non-intrusive flow meter combines precise ultrasonic flow and sound speed measurement with advanced calculation features and diagnostics. The H721’s nonintrusive flow meter built-in HPI computer calculates API gravity, operational density, density at base conditions and kinematic viscosity. Volumetric flow rates reported by the meter are automatically compensated for temperature and pressure within the meter according to industry standards ASTM1250, GPA TP25 and D4311 thus allowing for precise and dynamic standard volume flow measurement of liquid hydrocarbons.
