Metering Skids
High-accuracy fiscal metering and process monitoring systems for upstream and midstream facilities.
METERING SKIDS
Condensate metering skid is an integrated fiscal metering system designed to accurately measure the flow and quality of stabilized condensate for fiscal metering or process monitoring in upstream and midstream facilities.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
System Components
- Meter runs (often dual 100% or 2 × 110%) equipped with high-accuracy Coriolis flow meters for direct mass measurement
- Pressure & Temperature transmitters to Monitor Process parameters
- Flow computers to calculate standardized flow, totalization and diagnostics in compliance with industry standards (e.g., API MPMS)
- Inlet filtration (basket filters/strainers) to protect meters and ensure measurement integrity
- Piping configuration (often Z-type or parallel streams) to allow continuous operation and meter proving/checking
- Sampling system (manual or automatic) for product quality verification
- Control and instrumentation panels for data acquisition, communication (Modbus/SCADA) and audit logging
Engineering Capabilities
- Designed for single-phase liquid hydrocarbons, ensuring operation above bubble point to avoid flashing
- Handles light hydrocarbons with potential gas breakout, incorporating venting and safeguards against two-phase flow
- Achieves high accuracy (≈ ±0.15%) and repeatability, suitable for fiscal metering systems
- Supports redundancy and verification through parallel meter runs (duty + check stream)
- Integrates with facility systems for real-time monitoring, reporting and fiscal metering compliance
