Contamination (Orifice)

Prognosis was installed on a 6”, 0.60 beta natural gas station Orifice Meter. The diagnostic response indicated a metering problem. Pattern recognition listed: distorted flow pattern, contaminated meter run, or damaged plate. Hence, the plate was duly removed and found to be contaminated.

If Prognosis had been installed from meter commissioning, it would have trended the contamination build-up. In this instance, with a typical flow of 184,000Sm3 per day, the cost of a 3% error in flow rate prediction due to meter contamination would be:

after 1 day $ 1581.44
after 30 days $ 47427.70
after 1 year $ 577042.23

based on gas price of $ 0.29/Sm3.
