The Physical Acoustics 5131-VPAC, licensed from British Petroleum, is widely used in refineries, offshore platforms, power and process plant for estimating through-valve gas losses to flare, and steam generating losses, more than 500 systems are in routine use, and reported cost savings exceed $ 1,000,000 per site*. A measurement taking seconds is converted to through-valve loss in an Excel spreadsheet using a formula developed by best-fit to actual physical mass flow tests on >800 valves over a 10 year period. Refineries with gas recovery systems especially need the system to prevent burning their products as fuel gas!!
