New ultrasonic flowmeter for superheated steam
With the OPTISONIC 8300, KROHNE has introduced a dedicated
ultrasonic flowmeter for the measurement of superheated steam.
The 2-beam flowmeter stands out with a measuring accuracy of 1
%, high repeatability, and a large dynamic measuring range.
Typical applications include boiler and plant efficiency monitor-
ing in (power) plants, energy balancing or inter-company steam
billing. As downtime of steam pipes is very costly and must be
avoided, OPTISONIC 8300 was built for long term use: it features
a full bore flow sensor without moving parts or obstructions, and
an overall sturdy and robust construction with no cables or sensi-
tive parts exposed.
Therefore, it can uphold its measuring accuracy without mainte-
nance or subsequent calibration for up to 20 years, while keeping
operating costs at a minimum. If verification of the measuring
accuracy should become necessary, it can be pro-
vided by using the flowmeter diagnostics, without
removing the flowmeter. With nominal sizes rang-
ing from DN 100...1000 / 4…40", OPTISONIC 8300 is
particularly suited to high flow rates. Pressure rating
up to 200 bar / 3625 psi and temperature rating up to
540 °C / 1004 °F are available, higher requirements
on request. With temperature and pressure sensors
connected to the device, the integrated flow computer
can calculate steam mass flow. OPTISONIC 8300
adds to KROHNE's portfolio of ultrasonic process and
custody transfer meters for liquids and gases, rang-
ing from compressed air to liquid natural gas (LNG).

Boost to company’s marine control business
Yokogawa Electric Corporation's affiliate,
Yokogawa Kontrol (Malaysia), has received
an order from a consortium comprising
JGC Corporation (Japan) and Samsung
Heavy Industries (South Korea) that will
supply control systems and safety instru-
mented systems for PETRONAS’s second
floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facil-
ity, PFLNG2.
Under the terms of the contract,Yokoga-
wa Kontrol (Malaysia) will deliver an inte-
grated control & safety system (ICSS) for
the monitoring and control of the liquefac-
tion facilities and storage tanks on PFLNG2.
The ICSS will consist of aYokogawa CEN-
TUM VP integrated production control
system, a ProSafe-RS safety instrumented
system, a Plant Resource Manager (PRM
package, a plant information management
system, and other components.Yokogawa
Kontrol will be responsible for engineering,
and the support of installation, commis-
sioning, and training.
The PFLNG2 facility will be moored off-
shore of Sabah, Malaysia, and is designed
to produce1,5 million tons of LNG a year,
with production scheduled to start in early
2018.
An FLNG facility is a new type of LNG
plant that performs all operations at sea,
starting with the routing of natural gas
from offshore gas fields and including the
refining, liquefaction, storage, and transfer
of this resource onto LNG carriers. FLNG
is attractive because the technology does
not require the acquisition of land or laying
of pipelines, making it suitable for small
to medium-sized offshore gas fields that
are deemed economically unfeasible to
develop.
