Flowstar Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2001 with the company goal of providing the energy industry with world-leading natural gas and liquid gas flow measurement solutions. The company later received CSA certification for their first generation Digital Chart Recorder (DCR) metering system. A year later, Flowstar Technologies was acquired by Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE), and has become an established subsidiary offering the DCR computer that provides one of the best gas measurement solutions for the oil and gas industry.
The DCR computer uses a highly accurate integrated pressure transducer, an integrated RTD temperature probe and a next-generation gas turbine. The company’s DCR1000 is a complete replacement unit that can be installed for gas flow measurement in place of the traditional meter run, office plate, and paper chart recorder system. By using a Windows’ based programming interface for setup of the date, time, units to be displayed, sampling frequency, and gas composition and uses AGA3, AGA7, and AGA8 for compressibility calculations, there is no extra or unwarranted work involved.
Flowstar Technologies gas turbine flow meters can withstand entrained liquids within the gas stream. By having the capacity of a very large turn down ratio – 40:1 or more – this produces a substantial increase in flow measurement accuracy compared to the traditional orifice plate system. If an optional MCP pickup is used, then the turn down ratio will increase to 100:1. The company’s turbines can also handle extremely corrosive solutions such as hydrogen sulfide and wet gas. These turbine flow meters have been designed to last for up to 25 years and upfront costs for new installations are reduced as both new and retrofit installations benefit greatly from the reduced maintenance cost as well.
