Metering Stations are modular units for field installation consisting of one or more flow meters and other ancillary equipment like flow computers, volume correctors, SCADA and control systems, data loggers, pressure and temperature sensors etc. which, installed together, form a complete system for flow measurement, typically for custody transfer applications.
Essentially, a Metering Station is a form of an Instrumentation Skid – a “plug & play “ assembly of various measuring devices installed on a common frame or in a cabinet to simplify the installation and commissioning.
Energoflow AG has several years of experience in designing, developing and fabricating instrumentation skids and metering stations for various applications like Custody transfer of natural gas, flow monitoring of potable and waste water for municipal distribution systems, pressure regulation and flow monitoring for gas distribution networks, inline measurement of calorific value, composition and dew point (HC & H20) for natural gas pipelines etc.
The skids can be supplied prefabricated or as a set for easy assembly at site.
A typical skid supply project comprises of the following stages:
Design -Our team of engineers provides complete skid design services starting from a conceptual study of the technical assignment and through finished drawings ready for fabrication. The design process includes detailed analysis of electrical, instrumentation, programming and fabrication aspects. In close interaction with the client, we devise optimal solutions for the client’s requirements.
Fabrication – At our facilities, our technicians and engineers provide fabrication of skids from a wide range of materials and instruments as per our own design or as per drawings provided by the client. The strict quality control procedures and use of latest technologies guarantees the best results.
Calibration and Controls – Before shipping, our engineers make sure that all the instruments included in the skid are correctly calibrated and properly wired and the control systems are adequately programmed. The client gets a “Plug and Play” module which provides full functionality and best performance.
Testing – All skid systems are vigorously tested at our facilities to ensure proper operation in the field and conformance to the highest international quality standards.
Installation and Commissioning – Our team of technicians will assist you with the installation and commissioning of the supplied module at your facility until you are completely satisfied with the skid’s operation. We can also provide extensive training of customer’s personnel.
We are a Swiss company devoted to design, engineering and manufacture of flow-metering solutions and related products based on the modern ultrasonic technology
