17. Composition Metering: • Measuring platform, assembled in a single form factor with two measuring lines; • Collection and information processing Case from computers for each measurement platform.

18. Each computer consumption function as a standalone device, it performs the following functions: • Receives the signals from sensors installed on the measuring system. • Calculates the total consumption during the period and per day. • Passes through the serial communication channel at the request of a central computer with the results of measurements and calculations. • Displays all measured and calculated parameters. • Sends alarms to a central computer for documenting and alerting the operator. • Displays totals with sufficient resolution to accumulate for the period up to three months without an overflow.

22. The advantages of using metering • Configuring metering in accordance with the requirements of the technological scheme, ease of use and service; • High accuracy is not dependent on the composition of the product and the presence of air in the measuring line; • Ability to work in a wide range of flow with a nominal error; • Durability, lack of moving, wearing parts; • The presence of cold reserve.

23. The system based on radar level gauges performs the following tasks: • conducting a trade oil products in tanks; • constant monitoring of tank farms (unauthorized access, leaks, accidents).

24. The radar system includes: • Radar levels; • Temperature sensor in the reservoir; • Sensors of produced water; • Modules of the field connections to poll all tanks; • PC with specialized software.

25. Radar System • Level gauge operates in automatic calibration - and produces 6 measurements of the product in the second. Prior to each measurement level gauge produces selftest - on signal processing circuit is fed test "reflected from the surface" signal, and if the output is obtained in advance a certain "level of product value," then proceed to the actual level gauge measurements. In the case of significant deviations of the results of processing the test signal from the normal level gauge gives a signal about his failure. Level gauges do not require periodic calibration on special stands. The system TRL / 2 gauges produced water to the volume of produced water in the reservoir in the calculations of volume and mass of the stored product.

Thanks to install the sensor, significantly increases the accuracy of measuring the mass of oil stored in tanks. All oil storage tanks are equipped with sensors emergency level. Sensor alarm levels are designed to provide early warning of personnel tank farm on the achievement of the lower limit, upper limit, as well as top-level emergency fill the tanks. Information reaching the ceiling (sound and light) is displayed on directly from the reservoir and is transmitted remotely to control center, displayed on the screen of the system.
