The Solution
Spartan Controls recommended installing Coriolis mass flow meters on each fired heater to directly measure fuel flow on a mass basis. This approach eliminated sensitivity to fuel gas composition changes and enabled mass‑based combustion control that automatically compensated for BTU variability.
Coriolis meters were selected not only for accuracy and fast response, but also to minimize project risk. With lead times of 12–16 weeks, significantly shorter than GC analyzers, the solution supported an accelerated schedule. The customer further expedited delivery by sourcing spares from existing inventory, enabling rapid implementation and commissioning.
