Ethylene Custody Transfer
Minimize lost and unaccounted for, improve mass balance, eliminate billing disputes
Many plants experience issues with mass balance, accounting and billing discrepancies. Often volume-based measurement devices are installed which are inherently problematic for ethylene. Pressure and temperature must be measured, and calculations made to determine density. When converting to mass, this can lead to errors. It is also challenging to easily prove these measurement technologies. Coriolis meters measure mass directly and are easy to prove. Smart Meter Verification ensures the meter calibration does not shift between proving cycles. Major ethylene plants have achieved up to a million dollars in savings by upgrading to Coriolis technology.
