Wellpad Monitoring & Control

Yokogawa’s Y-Flow® YRTU is an effective and precise remote management controller that allows for maximized production while ensuring the production process is safe and reliable. By taking inputs from various instrumentations, the YRTU will process and monitor the data through pre-programmed or user-designed applications. The data is logged, stored and transmitted to a host/SCADA system via Ethernet (Modbus Serial, Modbus TCP) or wireless communication protocols.

Gas Measurement

Yokogawa’s Y-Flow® YFFC provides timely, accurate and reliable measurements anywhere, anytime. By combining the Y-Flow® with Yokogawa’s state-of-the- art coriolis, vortex and multivariable meters, accurate gas measurements are easier than ever. From orifice flow to steam measurement, Yokogawa’s Y-Flow® YFFC provides superior accuracy and reliability that ultimately reduces CAPEX and increase profit.

Gas Control

In an industry where safety and reliability is priority, Yokogawa’s Y-Flow® provides the control and peace of mind for operators and engineers alike. From emergency shutdowns to valve control and positioning, Yokogawa’s Y-Flow® is there to ensure the process is safe and sound.
