Optical Flow Sensors (OFS)

Air & Gas Flow

Optical Scientific Inc manufactures the OFS series (Optical Flow Sensors. the OFS technology has proven successful in a variety of challenging applications that include, high temperatures, high and variable opacity and dust concentrations, including Thermal Oxidizers, wet scrubbers, flare tacks, incinerators, SRU, cat crackers, glass furnaces and similar processes with entrained / suspended liquid droplets . 

 

All OFS-2000 optical flow sensors are immune to the effects of:

  • temperature, pressure, humidity, density, path length, turbulent flow or gas composition.

OFS is able to report velocities from 0.03 m/sec to 150 m/sec with a +/- 2% accuracy.  Adjustable response times down to 0.3 seconds with 3 second updating, combined with full-path averaging make the OFS-2000 series optical flow sensors an ideal method for monitoring air/gas flow.

  • Environmental compliance for CEMS flow
  • Combustion/Process flow
  • Air/Steam assist Flare lines
  • Air assist flow
