Oil Production Plant 

An oil production plant is an onshore facility which performs processing of production fluids from oil wells in order to separate out key components and prepare them for export. Typical production fluids are crude oil, gas and produced water. As a specialized metering package manufacturer, ODS Metering Systems have in-depth knowledge of all custody transfer metering techniques that are used to measure liquids or gases.

Oil Refinery

Oil refineries refine crude oil into petroleum products such as diesel, gasoline and heating oils. ODS offer the full metering package that is required for refineries including crude import metering skid and all the export metering skids for Diesel, Jet Fuel, Heavy Oils, Naphtha as well as the Gas metering skids.

Gas Processing Plant

Extracted natural gas is transported onshore to processing plants. It typically exists in mixtures with other hydrocarbons; principally ethane, propane, butane, and pentanes. In addition, raw natural gas contains water vapor, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide, helium, nitrogen, and other compounds. The gas processing plant is used to separate all of the various hydrocarbons and fluids from the pure natural gas, to produce what is known as ‘pipeline quality’ dry natural gas.

Petrochemical Plant 

The flow metering package within a Petrochemical plant probably is the most complex of all onshore applications. Due to variation in products, the individual metering skids vary in design and size. Typical custody transfer metering systems are import metering systems e.g. for Naphtha, Feed gas etc. and all export metering systems e.g. for olefins (including ethylene and propylene) and aromatics (including benzene, toluene and xylene isomers). ODS Metering Systems particularly excel in complex projects with different products, metering techniques, extended Metering Control Systems and HMI interfaces.

Terminal / Tank Farm 

Import and export of gases, oil or LNG at terminals or tank farms usually is a Custody Transfer Measurement point. ODS is an experienced manufacturer of batch loading metering stations such as a ship loading/unloading metering skid, train loading skid, truck loading skid, etc. Especially ship loading and unloading systems come with challenges in terms of air content, high flow rates, pressure drop and sampling that all can have a big impact on the uncertainty and reliability of the metering system.

Pipeline

Pipeline flow metering typically involves large line sizes with transfer of product in huge volumes and more importantly, involves transaction of large amount of money. ODS Metering Systems designs and delivers state of the art pipeline metering skids with the lowest possible uncertainty. For years, ODS Metering Systems has been involved in onshore pipeline flow metering. From traditional crude oil, refined products or (natural) gas stations to high demanding LNG, LPG, CNG and cryogenic applications.
