In order to control the energy efficiency of each of their gas field station, NIS decided to monitor natural gas consumption of their systems as well as to detect technical losses due to soot formation on burners.
Company was therefore searching for a cost-effective gas flow measuring technology to be mounted on more than 70 metering lines.
Given the volatile parameters of medium, with requirements for pressure and temperature measurement, vortex technology has been chosen.
WIG DOO BEOGRAD, recommended using the Vortex flowmeter OPTISWIRL 4070 C, thereby prevailing over competitor solutions using turbine meters, rotary gas meters or multivariable transmitters.
The operator installed more than 70 Vortex flowmeters from KROHNE at the gas field stations. The instruments were mounted in bypass lines to allow easy dismantling without process interruption. The majority of these lines were meant to be part of a permament system of piping with different nominal sizes from DN 15 / ½” to DN 100 / 4″ (classes: 150 lb, 300 lb and 600 lb). At these measuring sites flowmeters with sandwich process connections were used. Five other flowmeters were fitted at mobile metering systems that allow for temporary flow measurement at 14 varying measuring sites. These flowmeters were installed with flanges and all devices have ATEX zone 2 [Ex d ia] approvals.
The vortex flowmeter measures the operating volume flow of natural gas as well as calculates an accumulated standard volume flow of as low as 4 Sm3/h). As all devices also feature integrated temperature and pressure sensors, they can compensate for the unsteady parameters of the medium. Their readings are provided via 4…20 mA HART to a control room, from where they are telemetrically transferred to a SCADA system.
