Gas-Metering System For High Pressure Operations

摘要

MECI has been chosen by Samsung Heavy Industries to supply a fiscal export gas-metering system that can withstand high operating pressure and high carbon content over the course of a 40-year field life. The equipment is for the ICHTHYS Central Processing Facility (CPF), which will be operated by INPEX in offshore Western Australia. MECI was successful in demonstrating the required level of 0.7% overall uncertainty for mass computation could be obtained by using its gas analysis system. Adding to the challenges of providing the equipment was the overall footprint and weight constraints of the platform. To meet the requirement of redundancy, MECI offered its metering system CDN16, based on one pair of new multi-stream flow computers in redundant configuration, with a software application dedicated to the needs of the offshore site and able to manage the following equipment.
