CHINA EMISSIONS REDUCTION KEY TO HP MARKET FUTURE IN CHINA Emissions regulation continues to be a key area of development for hydrocarbon processing (HP) plants in China. SOLUTIONS FLARE STACK MONITORING A flare stack is an elevated vertical stack or chimney which acts as a key safety mechanism in industrial plants, burning off flammable gases released by pressure relief valves. This avoids unplanned pressure build-ups and disposes of excess gases. Flare stacks can also be used for the scheduled combustion of gases over short periods during plant start-ups or shut-downs. The Government Work Report (GRW) 2018 sets out specific, quantified indicators for ecological environmental protection. Chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen emissions will both be decreased by 2%. Waste gas from process Servomex has extensive expertise in delivering the oxygen measurement solutions required for these applications, particularly in nitrogen seal and inerting applications aimed at reducing the risk of explosion and ensuring safe operation. Key products for these applications co
