Generating accurate flow measurements in bulk transfer situations such as pipelines is a critical but often difficult task that requires large-diameter meters. Older mechanical metering technology tends to drift over time, rendering it less accurate and reliable. By comparison, Coriolis meters have a distinct advantage because they directly measure mass flow — so they are not affected by changes in temperature or pressure, the factors that have an impact on volume.

Pumps are all too frequently one of the most overlooked and abused pieces of equipment in process automation, yet nothing moves without them, and a process becomes inefficient when they don’t operate properly or completely shut down. 

This document outlines the basics of the metering system design that this energy provider proposes to fit to all their landfill gas (LFG) and coal mine methane (CMM) fueled power generating sites.
