Condensate Metering skid is a high-accuracy, redundant measurement package engineered to quantify stabilized condensate flow reliably under single-phase conditions for fiscal metering and operational control.Gutentor Advanced Text

METERING SKIDS


Condensate metering skid is an integrated fiscal metering system designed to accurately measure the flow and quality of stabilized condensate for fiscal metering or process monitoring in upstream and midstream facilities.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Condensate metering skid typically consists of:

Meter runs (often dual 100% or 2 × 110%) equipped with high-accuracy Coriolis flow meters for direct mass measurement

Pressure and temperature transmitters for process compensation and validation

Flow computers to calculate standardized flow, totalization, and diagnostics in compliance with industry standards (e.g., API MPMS)

Inlet filtration (basket filters/strainers) to protect meters and ensure measurement integrity

Piping configuration (often Z-type or parallel streams) to allow continuous operation and meter proving/checking

Sampling system (manual or automatic) for product quality verification

Control and instrumentation panels for data acquisition, communication (Modbus/SCADA), and audit logging

Key Functional Highlights (Condensate-Specific)

Designed for single-phase liquid hydrocarbons, ensuring operation above bubble point to avoid flashing

Handles light hydrocarbons with potential gas breakout, incorporating venting and safeguards against two-phase flow

Achieves high accuracy (≈ ±0.15%) and repeatability, suitable for fiscal metering systems

Supports redundancy and verification through parallel meter runs (duty + check stream)

Integrates with facility systems for real-time monitoring, reporting, and fiscal metering compliance
