Operating experience
The floating oil carrier "Belokamenka" is one of the largest in the world – the deadweight - 360000 ton, the length - 340 meters, the width - 65 meters, the tanker depth - 35 meters. Its permanent basing place is the Kola Bay region near the settlement Belokamenka located on the opponent bank from Severomorsk town – the main Northern Fleet base. Now "Belokamenka" flows through 4 million ton crude oil per year. The oil has been delivered from the Siberian mines by the pipelines and railway and then supplied by the shuttle tankers from Arkhangelsk.
The specific definition of the oil products value received should be identified by the shipping authority while loading. The irrelevance of the oil measured data to the indicated in the document can testify about sender change of the declared oil sort or impurity of the product.
Earlier oil level was measured with the tapeline down it in the gauge tube which is covered with the slice of light oil or grease lubricant. The tank oil product content is determined according to the cargo tank tables named the gage tables.
The rotary fluid flowmeters EMIS-DIO 230 have helped to solve the problem of the most accurate cargo oil metering on the pipes 150 mm DN and 200 mm DN. The expert of the company EMIS has worked and implemented oil metering station.
The June 1, 2009 year the start-up and commissioning of the oil product metering stations were realized on « Belokamenka»: the chartered shuttle tanker «Arkhangelsk » has loaded the first oil through the flowmeters EMIS-DIO 230. The flowmeter installation has given the opportunity to control the parameters directly on the oil pipeline and in distance with high accuracy.
EMIS-DIO 230 installation has provided the following:
- Simplicity of flow oil metering at the tanker inlet.
- EMIS-DIO 230 corresponds with all performances noted in the specification.
- The oil meter is reliable and easy in operation and rapid-assemble.
The fluid filters EMIS-VEKTA 1210, power units and the installation kit come standard with the flowmeter. The device performance reliability is elevated if the device is fully protected from the environment external effects.
