McCrometer : Delivering Flow Instrumentation with Accuracy

Gas flow measurement is crucial for quantifying the volume of oil and gas sold to a buyer across the supply chain. This has subsequently increased the demand for reliable and accurate measurement solutions that can help measure oil and gas across limited installation spaces, disturbed flow, high turndowns, wet gas, or dirty and abrasive fluids. Pioneering the designing, manufacturing, installing, and testing of flow metering solutions is McCrometer. The company develops innovative, high-quality, precision flow meters for the most demanding liquid, steam, and gas measurement industry applications for clients worldwide. In addition, it offers differential pressure, electromagnetic, and propeller flowmeters for instrument, process, facility, and consulting engineers. Going beyond just offering flowmeters, McCrometer also delivers built-in remote meter reading, a comprehensive choice of wireless remote monitoring, and highly intelligent modules for seamless communication.

As a pioneer in the oil and gas industry, McCrometer is one of the first companies to develop a flow metering solution to read gases in conditions when there is humidity in the flow. During the production of gases, it is normal to have liquid content in the flow, which can cause an overestimation of the readings and result in the misallocation of the produced gas from the wells. Using its proprietary algorithms, the company has helped clients get better readings under these conditions and collect consistent data for billing and allocation purposes. McCrometer has also developed specific calculations and algorithms to help national oil companies measure critical CO2 used for Enhanced Oil Recovery. Since critical CO2 gas has the same density as its liquid form, its flow characteristics are very complex to capture.Using the flow simulation software, McCrometer developed a model to test this behavior, validated the model through real flow tests at an independent flow lab. Using these results, McCrometer produced an algorithm to solve this measurement challenge when implemented with its patented V-Cone technology.
