A LIDAR mission using our instrumentation control software. |
Our EFM Test Bench lets you validate electronic flow computers.
It subjects a flow computer to an endless variety of simulated pipeline conditions. It does this by producing the electrical signals that would be produced by pressure and temperature transducers, and a gas chromatograph. It calculates the exact flow volumes being simulated, and compares that with the flow computer's measurements. Use it to:
- Validate flow computers
- Determine the suitability of a flow computer at meter runs with pulsation, or mixed streams
- Determine whether a gas chromatograph would make a significant difference at a site
- Simulate gas measurement flow runs
- Diagnose flow measurement problems
- Simulate gas chromatographs
Our Performance Testing package is used by pipeline operators to measure and track the "as installed" performance of natural gas compressors. It helps them to:
- Get the Maximum Value from Natural Gas compression
- Build operating maps (wheel maps)
- Measure isentropic and polytropic performance
- Measure anti-surge control performance
- Diagnose pipeline conditions which affect flow and compression
- Track ongoing changes to unit performance
For the past thirty years, we have been one of Canada's foremost authorities on using National Instrument's LabVIEW to develop custom applications. Since 2010, we have developed the configuration and data analysis software for Ametek Process Instrument's UV Absorbtion Gas Analyzers, and the embedded software for their 292B Gas Chromatograph. Here's our User's Guide for their 99xx series of analyzers. We also focus on advanced digital signal processing, with particular emphasis on computer vision and time-domain digital signal analysis. |
