Litre Meter said it has dispatched 45 positive displacement flowmeters to the Ichthys LNG gas field off Western Australia.
Central to the project are three different sizes of meter, V125, HF40 and HF60, each of which had to be built to a degree of customization for the topside element of the project.
Thirty meters are destined for a chemical injection skid constructed in South Korea for the Ichthys platform in the Browse Basin in the Timor Sea.
The V125 meter was designed to measure the discharge of monoethylene glycol at the wellhead pump. The HF40 PD meter is also rated to 414 bar and shares the same connections. The HF60 flowmeter is pressure rated to 690 bar and features two-inch GR14 connections.
Under conditions of low temperature and high pressure, gas hydrates can solidify as crystals which may block pipelines and valves, impeding the transfer of oil and gas. This can result in a shutdown and the risk of explosion or unintended release of hydrocarbons into the environment.
