Consulting Services for Measurement Instrumentation

Emerson’s Consultancy Services include:

Measurement Management and Risk Advisory:

To confirm the design is appropriate and the ongoing future maintenance and calibration is at an optimal level, we help balance financial exposure and operational costs by offering:

• Conceptual/Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) studies and early assessments
• Risk-based maintenance analysis
• Measurement management and quality metering manuals

Measurement Uncertainty and Exposure Analysis:

To ensure regulatory compliance, reduced exposure, and the effect of allocation principles, we offer:

• Uncertainty analysis review for the original design of the measurement system and effects that can influence the uncertainty when operational
• Measurement process efficiency, identification, review and reporting of possible measurement errors that may lead to an overall mismeasurement
• Creation of calibration, maintenance and operational procedures that ensure users are using the measurement system in an optimal way

Material/Mass/Energy Balance Analysis:

To identify potential unknown material losses or material losses that are difficult to measure, we offer:

• Error and loss analysis to determine overall plant/pipeline balance
• Uncertainty and error propagation across systems
• Data reconciliation and data analysis
• Allocation principles for use within contracts and hydrocarbon accounting

Measurement Assurance Analysis:

To ensure your measurement system complies with regulatory and commercial requirements, we offer:

• System design and operational review for new or existing facility
• Compliance and traceability reporting
• Measurement systems gap analysis to standards or best practices
• Operational challenges review and support

Measurement Inspection Service:
Emerson’s Measurement Inspection Service provides expert service and advice that helps you detect and assess issues before they interrupt the process. In turn, you can reduce reactive maintenance, improve process availability, and better manage costs.

With our Measurement Inspection Service, we identify potential and hidden issues to ensure confidence in all your flow measurement devices.

We can integrate new technologies and developments into your system that elevate accuracy and performance.

We also provide expert advice to help you get the most out of your flow measurement devices. Understanding the status of your instrumentation is critical to ensuring accuracy, optimizing uptime, and extending the lifetime of your flowmeters.

The Measurement Inspection Service identifies issues and ensures your flow meters are accurate and precise within your operating environment. From the survey to spare parts inventory review, and transmitters or sensors standardization to recommendations and a final report, we cover every facet of meter operation to ensure confidence in your flow measurement devices.

Measurement Inspection Service benefits:

Manage cost and proactively deal with obsolescence issues

Optimize your spare parts inventory

Reduce reactive maintenance situations

Increase core competencies of your technicians through training

Ensure your devices are installed and sized correctly

Improve plant availability

Support plant turnarounds in the preparation phase
