Panametrics, a Crane Company business and specialist in flare measurement, has launched the PanaFlare XGF1100, an advanced ultrasonic flare transmitter designed to enhance how industries monitor and manage flare systems
Building on its legacy as the original inventor of the ultrasonic flare flowmeter, Panametrics is advancing measurement technology with the XGF1100, offering highly accurate, real-time insights across all flow velocities and gas compositions to help reduce emissions, improve safety, and meet environmental standards.
Developed for demanding applications, the XGF1100 delivers continuous performance data including Net Heating Value (NHV) and Combustion Efficiency/Destruction Removal Efficiency (CE/DRE), unlocking greater operational control and lower costs.
The transmitter introduces various key enhancements, including sub-second response time, improved refresh rates, better timing resolutions and flexible multi-path configurations of up to four channels. Built-in basic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) correction and compressibility compensation are also included, helping to enhance accuracy in complex installation and operating conditions.
These capabilities, combined with the advantages of ultrasonic measurement such as no moving parts, minimal maintenance, and limited or no pressure drop, ensure reliable performance in even the harshest flare environments.
Colin Hehir, president of Panametrics, said, “The PanaFlare XGF1100 reflects Panametrics’ continued focus on advancing flare measurement for customers operating in increasingly complex and highly regulated environments. By combining high-speed measurement and real-time flare performance insight, we are helping operators improve efficiency, strengthen emissions management and operate with greater confidence.”
Developed for use across oil and gas, chemical and other process industries, the XGF1100 can support a range of flare and vent gas applications, enabling operators to enhance efficiency and maintain regulatory compliance.
When combined with Panametrics’ flare.IQ advanced control solution, the PanaFlare XGF1100 can also facilitate more intelligent flare optimisation and enhanced emissions management.
