Achieving Net Zero with Carbonstream™ CO2 Flow Meter

As the world accelerates towards Net Zero through Clean Energy solutions, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plays a pivotal role in sequestering large quantities of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) in underground geological formations. Accurate CO₂ measurement at each stage of capture, transport and storage is essential for success.

Solartron ISA, a world-renowned supplier of flow measurement solutions, proudly presents the Carbonstream range of CO₂ flow meters. Designed for the complex and technically demanding CCS market, Carbonstream offers:

• Versatility: Suitable for both gas phase and dense phase applications.

• Real-Time Accuracy: Provides precise flow measurement data from startup to maximum operating conditions.

• Scalable Technology: Eliminates the need for multiple meter streams, covering broad operational ranges.

• Compliance: Meets current Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) uncertainty requirements (2.5%) and is prepared for future reductions below 1.5%. 

With decades of experience in designing and manufacturing highaccuracy flow meters, Solartron ISA ensures that Carbonstream delivers reliable data even in the harshest environments, making it the perfect partner for CO₂ Transport and Storage projects.
