Overcoming Project Restart and Flow Measurement Challenges
I guess it’s maybe not true for most who fill up their cars at the gas station, but I’m happy seeing the steady rise in the price of a barrel of crude oil. Given the number of jobs affected in the oil & gas upstream, midstream and downstream industries here in Texas, higher prices are welcomed by many. In a World Oil article, Versatile DP flow metering technology solves redesign challenges on offshore platform project...

Uncertainty in Your Process Unit Mass Balance: What it’s Costing You and How to Improve it
At the process unit level, the mass balance is particularly important, as the charge and yield measurement streams serve as the basis for operational decision-making. When imbalances occur, process unit engineers can’t optimize their units with confidence. The good news is there are ways to mitigate these measurement uncertainties and improve balances. Strategically placed flow meter technology has been shown to alleviate...
