- Â
RIDA T.S. executed one of its most comprehensive refinery measurement upgrades by completely replacing legacy systems with 23 state-of-the-art flowmeters. To guarantee uncompromising accuracy, we engineered a centralized ball prover system, allowing the refinery to validate metering performance continuously without disrupting ongoing operations.
Products & Services Used:
- Coriolis Flowmeters (23 Units): Deployed across multiple process lines to ensure custody-grade measurement of refined products.
- Centralized Ball Prover System: A heavy-duty mechanical validation system designed to physically verify the exact accuracy of the flowmeters in real-time.
- Custom Control Cabinets: Fully engineered and programmed PLC/HMI interfaces and flow computers, built to consolidate data into a single operational dashboard.
Post-Project Impact:
This massive infrastructure overhaul transformed the refinery’s inventory management. By introducing extreme precision and a reliable calibration mechanism, RIDA T.S. eliminated product handling discrepancies, establishing a trusted and transparent framework for the refinery’s commercial output.
