Course Description

Introduction

The term "Custody Transfer" refers to the transfer of ownership of the process product under measurement. Because money is exchanged and the accuracy requirements are higher than in most other applications, this transfer is special among flow-meter applications. Accurate flow measurements and computations must be the foundation for the custody transfer system's generation of comprehensive and uncontested cargo reports. 

Participants in this intensive, highly practical training course on flow measurement and custody transfer will expand their knowledge of flow measurement and custody transfer systems, types, and principles, as well as learn how to evaluate how they affect the company's tactical and strategic goals.

The following will be covered in this Course N Carry Measurement of Flow and Transfer of Custody training course: 

  • The rules pertaining to gases and fluids
  • Key flow-metering concepts, such as reproducibility and accuracy 
  • Principal flowmeter kinds and uses, with a focus on custody transfer 
  • Techniques for flowmeter calibration and verification 
  • Applications and Principles of Custody Transfer 

Goals

In this training session on Measurement of Flow and Transfer of Custody, participants will learn about various flow measurement systems and technologies that are utilised in custody transfer applications. They will also receive insight into how measurement systems can function correctly and precisely. 

Upon completion of this training programme, the attendees will:

  • Possess a solid grasp of pertinent gas and fluid Regulations required for the application of flow measurement devices 
  • Recognise the primary prerequisites for custody transfer systems. 
  • Recognise the fundamental needs for flow measurements, such as repeatability and accuracy. 
  • Know the latest types of flow metres, such as those that measure differential pressure (DP), turbines, positive displacement metres, Coriolis flow metres, magnetic and ultrasonic flow metres, and more. 
  • Acquire the capacity to choose suitable custody transfer metering systems, assess if a metering system is sufficient for the job, and spot possible issues.
  • Discover the workings and uses of flow computers, multiple metres and metre runs, quality systems, calibration, metre runs, and proving and supporting automation.

Training Methodology

To enhance the advantages to the participants, this Measurement of Flow and Transfer of Custody training course combines organised, targeted presentations and discussions of the concepts covered with pertinent examples along with question and answer sessions. Videos and computer simulations that are pertinent will be used to highlight the key points. 

All presentation materials as well as thorough hard and soft copies of the training course notes will be given to participants. These will be invaluable for in-depth research and future use.

Impact of the Organization

  • The business will be able to better and more efficiently manage its custody transfer and flow measurement processes. 
  • Process selection criteria that are optimised will boost productivity, improve financial performance, and save money on taxes. More reliable Custody Transfer activities and more precise measuring methods will result in this.
  • Enhanced competences will lead to increased employee effectiveness and productivity. 
  • The company will be able to produce comprehensive and unquestionable cargo reports thanks to precise flow measurements and computations. 

Impact on Person

  • Participants will expand their knowledge of Measurement of Flow and Transfer of Custody systems, concepts, and types as well as obtain a solid understanding of how to evaluate their influence on the company's tactical and strategic goals. 
  • Participants will be equipped with the knowledge and self-assurance needed to evaluate flow measurement systems and to report to management on the state of the custody transfer systems in use as well as potential areas for improvement.
  • Participants will be able to avoid loss and maximise fiscal gains by choosing and using flow measuring systems connected to custody transfer correctly.
