Project Gallery: Custody Transfer Metering System Assembly
The installation of the Custody Transfer Metering System for methanol export perfectly illustrates RIDA TS’s engineering rigor, advanced mechanical capabilities, and technical expertise within the petrochemical sector in Libya. This strategic project demands absolute precision, as it strictly guarantees the accuracy of the transferred methanol volumes. This measurement accuracy is a critical element for ensuring the commercial compliance, financial transparency, and overall profitability of international export operations. As showcased throughout this project gallery, our highly specialized teams oversaw the complex mechanical assembly and the secure lifting of heavy-duty equipment directly onto the metering skid.

Every vital component, ranging from massive control valves to high-specification chemical-grade piping, was strategically positioned and securely aligned with millimeter accuracy using specialized industrial lifting equipment. Our skilled technicians and engineers ensure the seamless integration of these complex piping networks and high-precision measurement instruments, all while adhering to the strictest on-site industrial safety standards. Critical procedures such as connection operations, high-tension flange tightening, and the rigorous verification of mechanical tolerances are executed with exemplary meticulousness. This attention to detail prevents any potential chemical leaks and ensures total operational reliability. Ultimately, this installation phase clearly demonstrates RIDA TS’s proven capacity to deploy cutting-edge industrial infrastructure.
