Applications of FLOWSIC100 Flare-XT in a regulated environment
The gas flow meter can be used for emission measurements, which may be subject to one
or more regulations in some jurisdictions. Compliance with all emission regulations
applicable at the site of the installation remains the responsibility of the owner / operator.
When correctly designed and applied, SICK's ultrasonic flow technology meets or exceeds
most regulatory performance requirements. Please contact your SICK representative to
find out about the right flare measurement solution that meets the currently applicable
regulatory requirements.
