MeTAS recognizes that transfer of hydrocarbons involves multi-million dollar
transactions and therefore maintaining accuracy of measurement to ensure fiscal
accountability is of paramount importance. Accurate measurement of hydrocarbons
is dependent on the accuracy of the flowmeter itself but also the quality and
properties of the product. Density, water content, viscosity and composition are
properties which are taken into consideration in calculating the value of the
product and the selection of materials and metering techniques. This highlights
the necessity of accurate sampling and analysis systems. The design and
manufacture of Sampling and Analysis systems is governed by national and
international standards that address proven techniques for the collection of
representative product samples.
MeTAS designs and supplies this ancillary equipment as part of the integrated
metering system.
Gas Sampling and Analysis Systems comprise of:
Gas conditioning equipment including sample probe,
filtration and pressure reduction while
maintaining the
sample temperature. The gas analysis instruments, such as, chromatographs,
hydrocarbon dew point meters,
water in gas monitors,
relative density meters and Hydrogen Sulphite analyzers. Fully equipped temperature controlled and air
conditioned or freely ventilated analyzer
houses where the
gas conditioning and analysis equipment is installed.
Liquid hydrocarbon Sampling and Analysis Systems comprise of:
Sample mixing
equipment which may be of proprietary or custom design Sample probe and
fast loop pump Sampler and sample
receivers Densitometer Water in Oil Meter Viscometer Heated enclosure
for the sampler and sample receiver
Gas conditioning equipment including sample probe,
filtration and pressure reduction while
maintaining the
sample temperature.
