WIM COMPAS™ Fuel gas & Flare gas - Combustion gas analyzer

WIM COMPAS ™는 Wobbe Index, 발열량 (BTU) 및 연소 공기 요구량 지수 (Combustion Air Requirement Index , CARI)를 측정하는 (연료 및 플레어 가스 연소 측정)을 위한 Hobré의 process analyzer입니다. Hobré에서 설계 및 제조 되는 WIM COMPAS ™는 잔류 산소 유형 분석기 (residual oxygen type analyzer)에 대한 20 년 이상의 성공적인 경험을 바탕으로 구축되었습니다. WIM COMPAS ™는 연료 가스 품질 변동으로 인한 저해요소를 최소화하고 연소 과정을 최대의 효율로 끌어 올려, 배기 가스를 최소화하는 방식으로 열 (thermal input)과 공기-연료 비율 (air : fuel ratio)을 제어하는 데 사용됩니다.

 

Key benefits

  • Can be installed outdoors
  • Easy to operate
  • Unmatched response time
  • Suitable for installation in hazardous area
  • Safe flameless design
  • Handles high dewpoint
  • Measures flare gases and sour gases
  • Zero Hydrocarbon Emission

 

“The WIM COMPAS ™ after our flare recovery system is the best way to control we don’t emit any unburned hydrocarbons and monitor compliance at the lowest costs”

 

WIM COMPAS ™– Versions

  • Cyclic injection

  • Continuous

  • High-temperature

 

Continuous

This version is designed for top performance where response time, repeatability and reliability count. A small sample flow is mixed continuously with air. The air-fuel mixture undergoes catalytic combustion followed by measurement of the residual oxygen. This provides a direct measure of CARI and correlates to the Wobbe Index as per ASTM 4891-89. By integrating a specific gravity cell, heating value and air demand are also measurable.

Cyclic injection

The WIM COMPAS™ offers an unmatched, robust solution with high availability, for Fuel and flare gas combustion measuring, such as sour gas and flare gas. Hobré has developed an analyzer especially for these kinds of applications, that injects small amounts of gas into an air stream, typically at intervals of 30 seconds. The oxygen peak size is a direct measure of the air demand and proportional to the heating value (BTU).

 

High-temperature

WIM COMPAS High Temp analyzer

 

Keeping the gas above dewpoint is crucial to the success of most applications. The WIM Compas™ can be heated up to 55°C (131°F) as standard; high-temperature versions (up to 150°C / 300°F) are available if required
