FracSENS LB 6770 Density Meter

FracSENS LB 6770 Density Meter

The FracSENS LB 6770 nuclear density meter can connect directly to the control system. Without the transmitter unit, the outputted count rate can be used in the control system to calculate PPA, PPG, or SGU in both low and high pressure applications. The new scintillation technology ensures high sensitivity and allows drastic reduction of source activity compared to conventional ion chamber detectors. A maximum of 20 mCi has proven sufficinet for traditional fracturing applications......

Carbon dioxide emissions from fired heaters

Carbon dioxide emissions from fired heaters

Fired heaters emit an estimated 400 to 500 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. At least 73% of average refinery CO2 emissions come from combustion. For refineries and petrochemical plants focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it makes sense to target CO2 from fired heaters. Fired heaters usually have a fuel efficiency of 70-93%, so improvements in fuel efficiency enable CO2 reduction. They are usually fuelled by either carbon-bearing refinery fuel gas or natural gas,  so further CO2 reduction is possible by changing to fuels with less carbon content.
