Honeywell launches new midstream natural gas measurement portfolio
Offerings provide comprehensive data on natural gas volume and quality measurement to maximize confidence and minimize costs
Honeywell Process Solutions has announced the launch of its new measurement portfolio for the midstream natural gas sector designed to provide reliable and accurate volume and energy value measurement across a wide range of applications , while helping to cut operating costs by up to 70 percent.
“The need for accurate, reliable measurement has never been greater as the industry faces price volatility, tight margins and wide ranging gas qualities,” said David McNavish, product Marketing manager for H P S , speaking at the Appalachian Gas Measurement Short Course in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “Low prices and changing patterns of supply sources and demand mean customers need control and confidence across the distribution network.”
According to the US Energy Information Administration, production of natural gas in the United States w ill grow by more than 50 percent from 2015 to 2040. Associated infrastructure needed to transport that natural gas, including pipelines and measurement instrumentation, will also increase. Supported by a complete portfolio of gas measurement technologies including a full range of temperature and pressure transmitters and flow computers, Honeywell’s midstream gas measurement offering brings together three leading products: The Twin Sonic plus two-in-one ultrasonic gas meter delivers increased confidence and operational integrity for custody transfer measurement. It combines the field proven Q .Sonic plus ultrasonic meter with an additional independent measurement for verification in the same body for improved confidence, greater efficiency and more reliable operations. A patented six-path configuration for the primary measurement provides detailed flow profile measurement, superb noise immunity, and unrivaled pressure and velocity abilities. In -built verification improves confidence and reliability, reducing risk while saving users up to $50,000 for each meter against using two meters in series. The Encal 3000 gas chromatograph is specially designed for natural gas energy measurements to deliver industry-leading accuracy and low running costs.
