Flow, level and pressure for Dragon LNG
project
ABLE Instruments and Controls is pleased to announce the supply of the field instrumentation package to the Dragon LNG terminal Project in Milford Haven
This LNG import, storage and regasification terminal in Waterston, Milford Haven, South West Wales, owned by BG Gas, Petronas and 4Gas, consists of the unloading jetty, two LNG storage tanks, LNG gasification and gas export facilities The terminal will be able to receive and unload 71,000m to 165,000m capacity LNG carriers in 24 hours

Specialist flowmeter expertise and training
Able is pleased to announce its collaboration with the Colorado Engineering Experiment Station to offer calibration, specialist training, consultation, product development and research services
The average gas send-out rate will be 700,000m/h.
This terminal alone will provide the UK with up to 7% of its natural gas, used in homes, transportation, businesses etc.
LNG cannot be converted to a liquid by pressure alone but must be cooled to a very low temperature (lower than -160C), a process which removes some impurities such as sulphur and water.
Able measurement knowledge ensures the technologies used can withstand the extremes in temperature and pressure required during the process.
The instrumentation package was awarded to Able through the principal project contractors, Whessoe Oil and Gas and Volker Stevin Construction Europe .
The package consists of various technologies to measure a range of process parameters including flow, level and pressure, for use throughout the full regasification process, from unloading the LNG tankers, to pumping the final product off site.
Technologies chosen include venturi, orifice, variable area and ultrasonic flow; pressure, differential pressure and temperature gauges and transmitters; pH, conductivity, flue gas and wobbe index analysers.
Able has been developing their independent package procurement expertise since 1994, starting with a major offshore flow metering package.
Throughout, Able has developed a dedicated project team, including drawing and design capabilities with in-house CAD facilities, to manage smoothly the documentation control and the ability to source and manage a myriad of sub-suppliers.
By using the Able expertise for measurement solutions, the procurement, documentation and inspection cycles can all be channelled through one point of contact with consequent cost saving benefits.
Single or low volume/low unit cost items from multiple vendors can form a significant part of a project overhead.
The Able ability to source and supply a wide spectrum of items significantly reduces this cost.
