Flow measurement is an important aspect of business for processing units and factories that require bulk raw materials in the form of fuel. Such sectors need to accurately measure the raw materials which they pay for, and the finished goods they produce and get paid for. This measurement is conducted by a process called flow measurement and the accuracy of this procedure greatly determines the fortunes of companies, since even a tiny error can result in losses of millions of dollars.
Custody transfer is defined as the exact commercial transaction that occurs when a change in ownership of fluids takes place. This highly specialized form of metering requires exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and auditable values and is performed by highly engineered flow measurement systems for the intended application.
The aim of this course is to familiarize you with the problems and solutions associated with flow measurement and custody transfer. You will learn about a variety of flow measurement technologies and systems and custody transfer applications, fluid laws, quality systems and about devices for automating the measurements. This course is extremely relevant at this time when fuel prices are rising, CO2 trading is emerging, and global awareness about greenhouse emissions is spreading.
