Integrated Metering Solutions
"Metering technology is our passion"The name Elster-Instromet has been associated with high-quality and innovative gas measuring and regulating devices for (high pressure) natural gas custody transfer and calibration systems. But as original equipment manufacturer we design and manufacture turn-key gas regulating and metering stations of every size around these products for many years.
'How to save cost', 'how to minimize the risk of miss measurement' and 'how to reduce the value of uncertainty' are some of the financial key drivers we use during the conceptual design.
As an original equipment manufacturer the customer will benefit from the high degree of integration as all components are designed, engineered and manufactured by Elster-Instromet to maximize added value once combined in one integrated system. This leads to reduced uncertainty, higher reliability, lower risk and reduced maintenance costs. This means lower financial risk and fairer billing of traded natural gas.
There are no standard projects or specifications. Every project is a tailor made job based on client specifications. One or more of the following functionalities are typically included:
- Flow metering (volume)
- Gas analysis (quality, energy)
- Filtration
- Pressure regulation
- Flow control
- Temperature control
APPLICATIONS
Our systems cover a variety of custody transfer metering applications and calibration systems over a wide range of pressures, flows and line sizes:
- HP Transmission lines
- Border metering stations
- City gate and industrial stations
- Local Distribution stations
- Bi-directional systems for underground storage
TYPICAL COMPONENTS
For these stations and integrated solutions we typically utilize the following components.
- Ultrasonic meters
- Turbine meters
- Gas Chromatographs and other analyzers
- Supervisory system (software)
- Safety and control Valves
- Temperature and pressure transmitters
We have our own workshops for the production of the (skid mounted) stations. A multi discipline project and engineering organization support your projects from conception until realization for these multi million dollar projects successfully. A dedicated team of experienced professionals of mechanical, electrical and welding engineers combined with gas flow experience and ultrasonic metering know-how provides a strong foundation for integrated solutions based on lessons learned with customer focus.
24/7 OBSERVATION
We provide our integrated metering solutions with supervisory software that continuous performance monitoring and validation. A safe thought when millions of cubic meters of gas are flowing through day after day…
SERVICE and QA
From the Center of Excellence for this division – based in Essen Belgium – we provide on site supervision, commissioning and training. We have the know-how and expertise in house to satisfy most complex and challenging customer requirements. The Quality Assurance dept works closely with the Production and Engineering departments to monitor all phases of the process and to ensure highest quality.
CALIBRATION SYSTEMS
With our global involvement in calibration systems, master meters and realization of primary standards we understand the importance of accuracy, repeatability and uncertainty as if the gas was our own.
Elster-Instromet, as leading provider for metering excellence for years, meets the need of the global gas industry. With a long proven track record and a large installed base, we are the worldwide leader for state-of-the-art gas measurement.
