Astonishing vertical calibration of ALTOSONIC 5 flowmeter | KROHNE

For an international oil company, KROHNE manufactured an unique, vertically constructed, fiscal metering system. The design of the metering system is unique due to vertical installation of the metering lines and due to the fact that the Ultrasonic flowmeters will be directly calibrated against a Small Volume Prover. The metering system is equipped with 4 highly accurate ultrasonic ALTOSONIC 5 flowmeters. They are used to perform fiscal measurement of crude oil during batch loading to tankers from an offshore submerged caisson of 48,000 m³ storage capacity. This project combines three unique features and capabilities: 1. Construction of a vertical custody transfer measuring skid with vertically installed ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters, 2. Initial vertical calibration of the ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters using Master Meters. 3. Vertical verification of the ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeter against a Small Volume Prover. The custody transfer ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters have been manufactured at the KROHNE production facility and are compliant with the NPD (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate) quality standards. To ensure and confirm equipment’s performance, the customer requested the flowmeters to be calibrated in a vertical position at the EUROLOOP facility in Rotterdam. The flowmeters were calibrated over the applicable Reynolds range of approximate 80.000 to 1.000.000 at 5 flowrates with 5 repeats using the EuroLoop Master Meters as a reference. The calibration results were compliant to the customer’s requirements defined as: - Performance band : ± 0.15 percent over its full operational flow range - Uncertainty: 0.027 % following API standards. In the oil and gas industry, ultrasonic technology is adopted as an alternative for turbine- and positive displacement meters, offering additional features like viscosity independency and extended diagnostic features for continuous monitoring of the flowmeter and the process. In the last decade, KROHNE has tested various Small Volume Prover types and gather a lot of data which has helped to design enhanced electronics. The ultrasonic flowmeter equipped with modern UFC5 electronics has much faster sampling time, enhanced filtering and algorithms; these improvements have led to increase significant the repeatability performance. During each batch loading the KROHNE ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters will be offshore calibrated against the Small Volume Prover. For confirming the compatibility of the ALTOSONIC 5’s in combination with the specific used 151 liters Small Volume Prover, several proving runs were performed at the EuroLoop facility, using 5 runs with 3 to 5 passes per run. With astonishing pass times even up to 0.65 seconds at the maximum flow rate of 840 m³/h also API uncertainty of 0.027% was still made. The calibration results were concluded to be in compliance with the customer requirements. From EuroLoop facility, the ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters, the Small Volume Prover and the monitoring system cabinet have been transported to the KROHNE facility in Dordrecht, in the Netherlands. Here, a full system functional and accuracy flow test has been performed, witnessed by again the customer. To produce the flow through the metering skid two big water reservoirs in combination with a centrifugal pump were installed reaching a maximum flowrate of 850 m³/h. After finishing the tests, the metering system was drained and thoroughly dried with warm dry air to protect the system against corrosion. For transportation the skid to the end destination, it has been disassembled in multiple large parts, wrapped in shrink foil to protect components against transport damages. From the Dordrecht KROHNE facility the skid parts was loaded on a barge/boot on its way to the customer for final installation.

Huge ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters for custody transfer (CT) applications | KROHNE

The video deals with the production and calibration of ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters. Context: KROHNE produced a series of 48” ALTOSONIC 5 ultrasonic flowmeters for custody transfer (CT) to measure crude oil up to 15,000 m³/h. The calibration was done with up to 4,500 m³/h on 1 and 20 cSt at EuroLoop, and up to 15,000 m³/h on KROHNE’s water calibration loop in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. All meters stayed very well within the 0.027% uncertainty as per API 5.8, table B-1. The meters are fully bore and fully pig-able as they do not require a flow conditioner. Furthermore, they have a dedicated transducer installed on the 12 o’clock position to enable full pipe detection. All information about ALTOSONIC 5 at a glance: https://krohne.link/altosonic-5 The ALTOSONIC 5 is a multi-path ultrasonic flowmeter for custody transfer (CT) measurement in upstream and midstream applications of the oil and gas industry. The high accuracy meter is suitable for measuring all types of crudes in transportation, processing, loading or offloading applications as well as all types of refined products or chemicals. Due to its unique paths configuration, the ALTOSONIC 5 is suitable for all flow regimes without Reynolds number limitations.

Vortex flow measurement of compressed air with free air delivery | KROHNE

An ​​area for the use of vortex flowmeters is in compressed air applications. Nearly every production plant has a compressed air network but only rarely those networks are adapted to reflect actual consumption rates. The shown example in this video is from a beverage producer. In view of rising energy and production costs the company decided to implement improved and greater monitoring of the compressed air network. A fundamental aspect to reduce costs in the long term for the company lay in the monitoring of compressed air consumption of individual plants. The drinks producer also wanted to monitor the efficiency of the compressor by determining the air delivery volume. Furthermore, inefficient air distribution and air pressure losses due to leaks needed to be visualised. In this context, the company planned to invest in a flow measurement solution to achieve these measuring objectives. Several vortex flowmeters were calibrated to standard conditions and used to monitor the compressed air network and the connected consumers. The measuring devices are used in the supply lines of individual plants, such as beverage filling to monitor the consumption. In addition, directly behind the compressor, a measurement of the air delivery volume and the FAD value (free air delivery) is carried out in order to monitor the efficiency of the compressor. To determine the FAD value, the flowrate, the operating temperature and the operating pressure at the compressor outlet side is measured. In addition, the meter requires externally derived values ​​for ambient temperature and pressure at the compressor suction side, the actual motor speed and the relative humidity at the intake and and outlet side. These values are programmed in the vortex flowmeter. The FAD functionality of the vortex flowmeter calculates the air delivery under these real operating conditions at the outlet side to standardized conditions. If the FAD value falls, this indicates a lack of energy efficiency of the compressor, which can be caused, for example, by an incorrect oil or air filter. The vortex flow measurement solution has several advantages for the beverage producer: It helps the user create consumption profiles of individual plants. The beverage producer also benefits from a very cost-effective measurement of the FAD value of its compressor. Necessary maintenance of the compressor can therefore be scheduled and carried out based on actual requirements. Vortex flow measurement also enables effective leak detection in the compressed air network. The fact that all leaks can be eliminated, the drinks manufacturer can reduce the runtime of the compressor and the auxiliary compressor must be used only rarely if at all. The drinks manufacturer can also now visualise any unfavourable distribution of compressed air quickly. By optimising the air distribution the problem is often solved quickly and without replacement of the compressor. In the best case scenario, the pressure at the compressor can even be reduced.
