One of the largest orders for chemical injection flowmeters from UK flowmeter specialist Litre Meter is on its way ‘down under’. A large shipment of 45 positive displacement flowmeters is shipping to the Ichthys liquid natural gas field off Western Australia via Litre Meter’s South Korean distributors S-TEK.
Central to the project are three different sizes of meters, V125, HF40 and HF60, each of which had to be built to a degree of customisation that could not be matched by other suppliers working on the topside element of the project. Thirty meters are destined for a chemical injection skid constructed in South Korea for the Ichthys platform in the Browse Basin in the Timor Sea.
Litre Meter CEO Charles Wemyss said: “The size and complexity of this project demonstrates Litre Meter’s ability to customise its meters to suit a range of applications that require accurate yet robust solutions. Litre Meter’s VFF flowmeter is ideally suited for use in the oil and gas industry and in particular for low flow / high pressure applications. Years of experience in chemical injection applications onshore and offshore have confirmed the instrument’s capability to reliably measure fluids under extreme conditions of both temperature and pressure.”
