ABM chooses Krohne Optimass 1300 for dosing
ABM, a major supplier of mixing, distillation and fermentation systems, has chosen the Krohne Optimass 1300 Coriolis mass flowmeter for a dosing solution it has supplied to a major UK drinks producer
Five ultrasonic flowmeters will measure the oil flow from each oil and gas platform to the terminal, and the flow measurements will be used by the pipeline leak detection system.
Krohne also supplied an additional range of flow equipment including pitot tubes, orifice plates, classic and wet gas venturi tubes, water cut meters, PD meters and flow computers for a variety of duties on site.
Krohne spokesman, Andy Muschamp says, "This project has been a particular challenge as no two applications at the field have been the same, so the meter specifications, such as flange size and rating, component materials and construction have been adapted to cater for each individual duty".
In addition to the cost saving benefits of specifying Krohne flowmeters, the company was chosen as a preferred supplier on the basis of its proven project management as well as its approach to document control.
Krohne has employed a dedicated document control manager and appointed a project manager internally to ensure smooth running and accuracy throughout the project.
Krohne has a proven reputation for excellence in the supply of flowmeter equipment for oil projects, having played a major role in the Caspian Pipeline project, Karachaganak Refinery and the Liaohe Oil field in China.
