Gas Flow Measurement

This Gas Flow Measurement training course provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of gas flow measurement, focusing on proper sampling, analysis, and accurate measurement techniques. Even the smallest error in gas flow measurements during the transfer from supplier to customer can result in millions of dollars in losses each year.

Gas flow measurement is crucial for inventory accounting, process plant mass balances, loss prevention, and both regulatory and fiscal reporting. Accurate measurements are essential from production sites to consumption points. Precision and accuracy are not only important but mandatory, especially when fiscal customs duties are involved. Measurement equipment must be carefully selected, installed, calibrated, operated, inspected, and maintained, while ensuring that the results are processed and reported accurately.

This course will emphasize the significance of clear and precise specifications to effectively specify, procure, operate, and troubleshoot these instruments, ensuring they meet both company needs and regulatory requirements.

This training course will feature:

• Design criteria and importance of accuracy in gas quantity and quality measurements
• Basics of measurement uncertainty
• Measurement concepts and types of error
• Basic concepts, principles of operation and equipment used for typical liquid/gas metering systems, meter proving, sampling and analysis
• Typical operations, control functions and record keeping requirements for crude liquid/gas metering systems

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Specify, select and procure the right type of flow measuring device for the intended application
• Learn the theory behind a variety of gas flow measuring devices
• Appreciate the inner workings of gas flow measurement devices as well as how to maintain and troubleshoot them
• Understand issues related to reliability, reproducibility and measurement accuracy
• Understand the legal and commercial requirements for liquid/gas metering

This Gas Flow Measurement training course has been specially developed for personnel that are required to work with and or are involved in selecting, maintaining, troubleshooting and calibrating gas flow measurement systems. It will also be of great benefit to personnel who are involved in sampling, analysis & custody transfer operations that require specific knowledge to conduct measurements & calculations in flow systems.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Production Supervisors
• Instrument Supervisors
• Graduate Engineers
• Process Engineers
• Production Engineers
• Metering Engineers & Technicians
• Instrument & Analyser Technicians
• Personnel who witness or audit natural gas measurement

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes interactive sessions with questions, discussions and problem solving under supervision along with syndicate exercises. It will be conducted as an interactive workshop that encourages participants to share their own experiences and apply the programme material to real-life situations. The training course will be reinforced by a learning mix that includes, lecture style presentation, short videos, open discussion, case studies, simulations and syndicate exercises.
