Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

The course covers the concept of custody transfer, fiscal flow metering, meter calibration, uncertainty calculations and loss control of petroleum products. It is divided into 5 modules:-

Module 1: Accuracy & Process Measurement

This module covers basic definitions, such as viscosity, repeatability, cavitation etc.; flow profiles and the effects on measurement; volumetric and mass flow rate.

Accuracy is important in terms of uncertainty of measurement; calibration; technical specifications and process requirements.

Flow Measurement including orifice plate and DP transmitter; multi-beam ultrasonic flowmeter; Coriolis mass meter; turbine meters amongst others.

Level Measurement, traditional methods such as capacitance and hydrostatic techniques are covered together with more modern technologies such as ultrasonic and radar measurements.

Module 2: Custody Transfer & Fiscal Flow Metering

This module examines the requirements of OIML R117; the subject of Custody Transfer in detail terms; flow calibration, dynamic and static; types of calibration rigs and calibration systems plus prover systems.

Module 3: Terminal & Pipeline Systems

Included in this module are, terminal tank gauging; Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT); sediment and water considerations; operational issues and associated equipment. Pipeline considerations including paraffin content; pipeline pressure and process characteristics. Truck custody transfer, marine and aviation, on-loading and off loading etc.

Module 4: Monitoring and Controlling Losses

Loss control systems – an applied approach – model based system; leak detection / leak testing. Case studies of marine applications; measurement surveys and measurement reports. Multi-phase flowmetering and applications.

Module 5: API Standards and Flowmeter Selection

API measurement standards and volume correction tables; temperature compensation; SG versus API gravity; net volume calculation exercise.

Guidelines for flowmeter selection.
