Metering System




General System Configuration

Metering System consists of flow meter, flow calculator panel, G/C and HMI application softwares. Flow calculator panel has flow computer, PLC, G/C Controller.
Flow compuer performs  calculation of flowing density, volume correction, mass flowrate, corrected volume flowrate and energy flowrate by refering to gas component,  pressure, temperature  in case of natural gas.  PLC performs automatic meter run switching or manual valve operation. Also PLC communicates with upper control system like MCS or RTU. HMI application enables user to easlily operate system. Please refer to Metering Software part for more details.

Metering Panel (or Flow Calculator Panel)  is different as system configuration or user requirements. However basically includes flow computer, G/C controller and PLC.

Gas Chromatograph
The gas chromatograph is used to obtain on-line composition information of selected process streams for current process operation. The gas chromatograph must operate automatically with a high degree of reliability, require a minimum of maintenance, and perform the desired analysis within the required time. Gas composition is used for density calculation and energy calculation.
The analyzer includes a chromatographic column(s), sample injection and switching valves, a detector, a temperature controller, flow controls for the carrier and detector medium(s), and the necessary electronics. The controller function may be separate or may be in the field with the analyzer, which thereby becomes a stand-alone gas chromatograph. Both systems provide analog outputs for concentration data and digital outputs for alarms, external stream select, and other external functions.
The thermal conductivity detector (TCD) is the most widely used because of its universal response to all components and its simplicity. The detector measures the thermal conductivity of the gas passing through it. The carrier gas is selected to have a thermal conductivity different from the components being measured. Helium or hydrogen is normally used for this reason.
