Liquid and Gas Flowmetering and Custody Measurement: Multiphase, Ultrasonic and Loss Control Training
Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course will familiarize process, instrumentation, and custody transfer engineers with the procedures and practices involved in the choice of flow metering systems and their associated supporting equipment. It will address these points in relation to both single- and multi-phase flows and will give guidance on the optimum commercially available flowmeters through a detailed comparison of their relative merits. Flowmeter calibration is crucial to these topics.
Learning Objectives
Apply an in-depth knowledge to the topics of liquid and gas flow metering and custody measurement as well as to the fluid mechanics of pipe flows
Assess flow measurement uncertainty in terms of the actual flowrate
Distinguish between the different flowmeter types including delta p, displacement, rotary-inferential, fluid oscillatory, electromagnetic, ultrasonic and Coriolis mass flowmeters and to determine the optimum choice for a given application
Define and classify the various regimes of multiphase flow measurement and to understand the relative attributes of the main industrial multiphase flowmeters in the determination of flowrate and quality
Make a considered judgment of the choice of fluid level measurement devices
Implement OIML Recommendation R117 including its requirements and operation
Understand the various types of flow calibration, metering system and provers including static and dynamic measurement, meter proving, prover loop and custody transfer
Carry out tank measurement and tank calibration methods and to calculate net sellable quantities
Explain in detail the different types, methods, and techniques used in lease automatic custody transfer and truck custody transfer
Discuss pipeline considerations made in the metering of liquid products
Employ systematic techniques in leak detection, loss control, monitor and control production losses
Apply the various API standards applicable to custody measurement
