Custody Metering and Prover Training
Custody Metering and Flow Metering Systems are common operations in the petrochemical, oil & gas industries. Meter proving or meter verification is to provide accurate measurement of valuable commodities such as oil and gas that will minimise losses and maximise profits.
Equipment Specification Highlights
This Industrial scale process trainer will pump water from the primary storage tank utilising 5 independent flow metering streams, with options for selecting the master meter. Pipe work will be 2 inch stainless, flanged to primary components for ease of removal. This will be controlled via an Industrial standard PLC with ethernet connectivity to the flow computer proving system. The flow computer system will be provided by a leading industrial brand to reflect what is used currently within the Oil & Gas sectors. The process will demonstrate fiscal measurement, optimisation, calibration, error correction with data trending and storage in line with international standards.
