FLOBOSS S600
Technical Principles and Innovative Values
- High – Precision Calculation: Utilizes 64 – bit (double) precision floating point numbers for metering calculations. This results in an accuracy level that is 20% higher than some competing models in the market, ensuring that flow measurement data is as precise as possible. For instance, in high – value product pipelines, this high accuracy can prevent significant financial losses due to measurement errors.
- Multi – Stream and Multi – Station Support: Allows for the configuration of multi – stream, multi – station applications for simultaneous metering of liquids and gases. In a large petrochemical plant with multiple production lines handling different fluids, the FLOBOSS S600 can manage up to 10 flow meter streams and 6 dual flow pulse meter streams, streamlining the flow measurement process across the entire plant.
- Global Standard Compatibility: Supports a vast array of global measurement standards. In international projects where different countries or industries have specific standards, the FLOBOSS S600 can be easily adapted without the need for major re – engineering, reducing project complexity and costs.
Application Cases and Industry Value
- Maersk Oil: Maersk Oil chose the EMERSON FLOBOSS S600 for its offshore oil and gas fiscal metering system. The implementation process involved integrating the FLOBOSS S600 with various flow meters and sensors on the offshore platforms. After installation, the company witnessed a 20% improvement in the accuracy of its fiscal metering. The system’s ability to handle multiple streams and its high – precision calculations ensured that the company could accurately measure and account for the oil and gas production. Operators reported that the FLOBOSS S600 was reliable and easy to maintain, reducing the downtime of the metering system by 30%.
- Pemex Exploration: Pemex Exploration used the FLOBOSS S600 for the loading and unloading of crude oil. The FLOBOSS S600 was configured to work with the existing infrastructure, including large – capacity crude oil storage tanks and loading pipelines. By using the FLOBOSS S600, Pemex Exploration was able to increase the efficiency of its loading and unloading operations by 18%. The accurate flow measurement provided by the device helped in better inventory management, reducing the risk of over – or under – loading of crude oil.
