Flow Measurement & Custody Transfer

This course will enable participants to understand the basics of the devices that are key to the financial success of the organisation. The course is unique in the sense that participants will be exposed to look at all measurement devices for financial transactions, including production allocation and custody transfer.

Flow measurement is essential in many industries such as the oil, power, chemical, food, water, and waste treatment industries. In a typical processing plant, a flow measurement inaccuracy of less than one percent could easily result in a loss of revenue of several million dollars per year. These industries require the accurate, precise and repeatable determination of the quantity of a fluid either gas, liquid, or steam, that passes through a check point, in their daily processing or operating.

Ce cours comprendra

• How to examine different types of custody transfer
• How to conduct a thorough review of flow measurement devices
• Understand the various level measurement devices
• How to examine flow calibration and proving methods and potential problems with proving systems
• Understand the basic principles of Inventory control
• Discussion on various industry and international standards

 

Quels sont les objectifs ?

A la fin de ce cours, les participants seront capables de :

• Appreciate and quantify aspects of accurate, precise and repeatable flow and level measurements that are related to custody transfer
• Understand aspects of inventory control related to flow measurements
• Understand flow and level measuring devices
• Understand the basic fluid and gas laws that are essential for flow and level measurements
