A custody transfer metering system measures the quantity of liquid or gas at the point where ownership changes hands, so the measurement directly affects invoicing between supplier and buyer. Akan Industrial and Automation engineers custody metering packages using the same capabilities as its flow metering skids: meter sizing and selection, master meters, mechanical and E&I design, construction and commissioning.
What a custody metering package includes
- Flow meter selection – ultrasonic, turbine, Coriolis, orifice or PD meters
- Master meters for meter verification
- Control and motorized valves, strainers and piping
- Pressure and temperature instruments for compensation
- Electrical and instrumentation design
- Construction, installation, commissioning and start-up
How Akan works
Each package is designed from the customer’s process data and project requirements. Akan’s engineers select the meter technology and all supporting instruments and equipment, then deliver the mechanical calculations, P&IDs and E&I design before construction.
