Flow Selection Criteria and Multiphase Measurement Technology Course
Introduction:
The objective of this course is to provide participants with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the principles and practical aspects of multiphase flow metering. The course will commence by providing an overview of the various types of single-phase flow meters currently available. Subsequently, the focus will shift towards multiphase flows, encompassing the applications of both single-phase and multiphase flow meters for measuring multiphase flows.
This will include an examination of their operational limitations, performance characteristics, as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages within industrial settings. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will possess the knowledge required to select the appropriate flow meter or combination of flow meters for specific multiphase applications, and be equipped to address any challenges related to the reliability and accuracy of flow meter readings.
Course Objectives:
Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:-
- Choose the correct flowmeter or combination of flowmeters for a particular multiphase application and be able to resolve any ensuing problems in relation to the unreliability and inaccuracy of flowmeter readings
- Understand the various types of single-phase flowmeters such as differential pressure, displacement, rotary inferential, fluid oscillatory, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, and Coriolis mass flowmeters and be able to explain their features, functions, and practical applications
- Understand the application of the so-called “miscellaneous flowmeters” including cross-correlation methods, tracer methods, velocity profile integration techniques, and laser Doppler systems
- Appreciate the various calibration methods for liquid and gas flowmeters
