Expro Excellence
  • Industry leader in portable flaring services
  • Instrumentation to provide data such as calorimeters and metering systems are generally designed for permanent installation therefore Expro’s priority was to develop a portable system for Lyondellbasell
  • Designed a portable, self-contained instrumentation unit within an 8x16 enclosed trailer, to measure and record BTU (British thermal units) content of the waste gas stream
  • Collaboration with Expro Meters specialists to incorporate a PassiveSONAR™ flow meter to measure and record flow of the waste gas stream
  • Also provided capabilities to inject assist gas as needed to meet BTU content requirements
  • Maintained a small footprint and quick rig up time
