The key takeaways are that the document discusses different components of gas metering and regulating systems including filtering, heating, metering, regulating, venting and leak detection systems.

The main components of a gas metering and regulating system include a filtering and heating system, metering system, regulating system, venting system, and gas leak alarm system. The regulating system uses a configuration of a safety shut-off valve, monitor regulator, and self-actuated pressure regulator.

The heater in such a system must meet high requirements including special explosion proof performance, IP codes, and manufacturing requirements for the equipment body. It must adopt direct or indirect electric heating and have safety protections for heating speed, temperature, and dry combustion prevention to ensure system safety.

Gas Metering & Regulating System


The system presented here is composed of some subsystems, such as filtering and heating
system, metering system, regulating system, venting system, gas leak alarm system and etc. Of
which, the regulating system has the features of “pressure control system ”, adopting the
configuration mode of “safety shut-off valve + monitor regulator +self-actuated pressure regulator”.
The metering system assembles with the flow computer used for the temperature and pressure
compensation of the gas to calculate the flow rate. The venting system adopts centralized venting
in principle, the gas leak alarm system can be interlocked with the main valve and venting system.
When the leakage occurs in the operation field, the station control system will command the main
valve to close and open the venting system to carry on the emergency venting.
High requirements for the regulator in this system: quick opening ability and fast reaction rate
(accelerating commander is provided in some situations). Axial flow regulator is common ,with
these characteristics.

Skid-Mounted Oil Mass Flow Meter


When the oil flows into the device, enters into the air-removed filter first through
the inlet valve, after filtration it will be measured in the mass flow meter, then flows
into the downstream device with calibration loop, through the control valve, outlet
electric ball valve ,that is, at two ends of outlet electric ball valve downstream the
mass flow meter there are branches connected to calibration inlet and outlet DBB
ball values to achieve the on-line calibration.

The mass flow meter measures the mass flow rate through the vibration of two
parallel measuring tubes on the principle of carioles force, since the measuring
tube vibrate continuously at a certain resonant frequency, the vibration frequency
changes following with the fluid density, a density output signal corresponding to
the resonant frequency can be obtained then transmits to the flow computer.

Pressure Control System


Pressure control system consists of safety shut-off valve, monitor regulator and active regulator.
These three devices are in series regulation mode from upstream to downstream respectively. The
whole system will be integrated as a skid ready for installation. The overall test for each component

characteristics of safety, reliability, good property, easy installation and simple operation.

Operating principle: under normal condition, safety shut-off valve and monitor regulator are in fully
open position, and active regulator controls downstream pressure. If the active regulator fails on
pressure control, monitor regulator starts to control downstream pressure automatically, when the
monitor regulator fails on pressure control, safety shut-off valve quickly and automatically close the
trim to shut off gas flow to protect the whole system.

Elite have designed and supplied many gas scrubbers and absorber systems to a variety of
chemical and process industries.

Elite an design and supply all types of gas scrubber, either as ‘end-of-pipe’ pollution control or as a

mixing between gas and liquid, usually for Absorption, Odour Control or Particulate removal.
Desorption and Distillation are also mass transfers done in columns.
Typical applications for Begg Cousland Gas Scrubbers in industry include removal of caustic or
acidic products such as hydrochloric acid, ammonia, fluorine and sulphuric acid from process
exhaust gases.

Removal of these harmful contaminants can lead to a reduction in general air pollution as well as
reducing the impact of acid rain. In the case of extremely harmful emissions, e.g. Chrome VI, we
have the most efficient scrubbing technology and equipment for the job.
