2. OVERVIEW
Flow and level measurement is critical, particularly for its
widespread use in accounting practice, such as the custody
transfer of fluid from supplier to consumer. With unrelenting
pressure for improved reliability, accuracy, linearity, repeatability
and rangeability, performance requirements have become more
stringent because of the major change in manufacturing processes
and several dramatic circumstantial changes such as the increase in
product cost, S&D logistics challenge as well as the need to
minimize pollution arising from strict HSE compliance regulation.
This course has been carefully designed in partnership with
industry practitioners, to provide a robust knowledge to our
participants on the challenges and solutions associated with high
accuracy transfer of liquid petroleum products from supplier to
customer.
