DESCRIPTION
Linco-Electromatic, Inc’s many years experience in “ENGINEERED AUTOMATED SYSTEMS” covers a broad range of applications. Successful systems designed and manufactured by us are, top and bottom Transport Loading Systems, LACT Units, Pipeline Metering Systems, Tanker Offloading Systems, liquid and gas Offshore Metering Systems, LPG Driver Attended Metering Systems and Bi-directional Meter Prover Systems.
LEMC OFFSHORE lact METERING systems
Since offshore gas and liquid metering systems are usually installed on remote production platforms, component reliability and space design are critical. The key to a well-designed and engineered system is a unit that can provide “custody transfer” with the highest degree of accuracy in the harshest possible environment. The most practical approach is to provide duplicate or parallel meter runs to allow continuous measurement in the event of a major metering component failure.LEMC transport loading systems
The basic transport loading system is designed to provide a completely assembled and tested driver attended, automatic metering station capable of loading one or more products into a multiple component transport. A single transport can be loaded simultaneously with one or more products with each sales meter acting independently.LEMC bi-directional meter PROVER Systems
The principal of operation of the Bi-Directional meter prover is to provide an accurate and repetitive displacement of liquid through a pre-calibrated volume between two detector switches. Accurate displacement of the liquid is accomplished by forcing an inflated spheroid through a calibrated section of pipe using fluid energy from the stream being metered and recording the metered volume under actual flowing conditions. Since the entire stream of fluid being metered flows through both the meter and the prover, a ratio known as “meter factor” can be determined between the known volume and the volume registered by the meter. This meter factor is used as a multiplier and applied to the volume shown on the meter register to determine true quantity of fluid passing through the meter.LEMC PIPELINE ACt SYSTEMS
The simplest and most effective way to transfer the ownership of liquid hydrocarbons between a buyer and a seller is through the use of an accurate liquid meter. With the aid of additional components, the liquid meter is capable of unattended measurement with maintained accuracies of 0.25%, or better. This measurement system is commonly referred to as a Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) Unit when ownership is transferred at a production lease. When ownership is transferred away from a production lease, such as a transfer between Pipeline Companies, a measurement system may be referred to as an Automatic Custody Transfer (ACT) Unit.LEMC GAS METERING systems
Linco-Electromatic, Inc designs and builds gas measurement systems in accordance with the latest Industry accepted practices. These include A.G.A. Report #3, API 14.3, ANSI B31.3 and ANSI B31.8. Gas Systems are designed for pipeline applications as well as offshore systems. Systems are available in operating pressure up to 900# ANSI ratings.
