SERVICE PROFILE

A. FLOW CALIBRATION

Flow Meter Calibration and Repairs Using a high precision Master Meter or Prover Tank the meters be

calibrated to a maximum error of + 0.05% and a period of six months

for re-calibration.

Dynamic SLIP TEST on the meters enables us to predict the mechanical

state of meter and permits useful recommendation.

When the meter is out of calibration, repair is carried out (with client’s

consent) and recalibrated.

Prover Tank Calibration

We undertake calibration of Prover Tank of all sizes using the

Automatic Over flow pipe pipette gravy metrically calibrated to

within 0.002% and traceable to international standards. We certify the

Prover Tanks at 0.02% accuracy.

Shore Tank Calibration (Vertical, Horizontal Barges

and Ships)

The necessity of accurate tank calibration becomes particular evident

where tanks are used for Stock Control or Custody Transfer

Measurements.

We undertake calibration of Vertical Storage Tanks using Strapping

Method in accordance with API 2551

Bottom volumes for Vertical Tanks can be determined by liquid fill or

physical floor survey as requested.

Horizontal Tanks, Ship and Barge Tanks can be determined by liquid fill

or physical floor survey as requested.

Horizontal Tanks, Ship and Barge Tanks are calibrated by Physical

Strapping in accordance with API 2551 and 2553 respectively.

Road Truck Calibration

We undertake calibration of Road Trucks of Petroleum product in the

clients’ premises with our high precision Master or at oil Installation if

required using the gantry Meters. The calibration can also be done

within our premises (flow Lab)

Surface and Underground Tank Calibration

These are calibrated by liquid fill method, the most accurate method of

calibration using our high precision Master Meters. The liquid fill

method in determining incremental volume of the tank takes into

account the tilt of the tank underground

Dispensing Pump Calibration

We undertake calibration of petroleum product dispensing pumps

using our standard measures traceable to international standards

for purpose of precise control of product quantities.

PROVER LOOP CALIBRATION

The foundation of accurate measurement is the confidence of the

Prover Loop base volume accuracy.

To achieve and maintain accurate results with Flow Meters, it is

necessary to have a Measurement Standard against which to

check them at frequent regular intervals.

If the base volume, which should be calibrated annually, is

inaccurate, all subsequent meter factors would lack integrity and

cause severe oil losses. In the crude oil terminals where the

Measurement Standard is usually the Prover LOOP, it

becomes very important and necessary to have them calibrated

regularly.

We calibrate and certify Prover Loop base volume to 0.02%

accuracy. Our staffs have tremendous experience internationally

in Prover Loop calibration using the Master Method.

LPG Vessel Calibration

Starbest also undergo the calibration of LPG vessels and tank

within our customer’s premises to ascertain the quality and

quantity of the vessels

B. PRESSURE TESTING, HYDROTESTING

AND LEAK DETECTION TEST

It is necessary to regularly Pressure Test the air receiver tank,

surface tank, underground tanks, LPG Vessels and associated

pipeline and equipment as recommended by the Department of

Petroleum Resources (DPR). Pressure testing enables the

identification of leaking Tanks and pipeline. We also undertake

repairs and installation for LPG and associated equipment.

C. TECHNICAL VALUATION.

It is normal for Oil Producing Companies to demand from their

contractors a valuation certificate issued by an independent

Inspector like Starbest for all machines and equipment they intend

to use on their site. When we are mandated by any company to

offer this service on their behalf, a technical evaluation of all the

machines to be involved in the contract is conducted.

A complete technical evaluation can be carried out on machines

like Cranes Compressor, Generators, and Welding Machines etc.

to check for Safety, Functionality and specification

conformity.These machines are then

accordingly, certified after evaluation.

D. TECHNICAL AUDIT OF TERMINAL

METERING

This is a specialized service to evaluate the performance of

metering systems, in complying with the requirements as laid

down in the American Petroleum Institute (API) Measurement

Standards. The major components of a Technical Audit are;

1. An evaluation of the condition and design of each metering

system with regards to Electronic Condition as per API

Standard.

2. Verification of throughout, calculations for Gross Measured

Volume Standard Volume Validation of any other Computer

Constants and or functions.

3. Calibration checks on Temperature and

Pressure Instrumentation.

4. Check on-line sample analysis Procedures and function

test auto sampler.

5. Establishing flow curves for meters over the flow range for

linearity and repeatability.

6. Verification of Proving calculation and examination of current

prover loop calibration Certificate, checking current base

volume is in use and correct defect switch pair is selected.

Examination of internal condition of Prover.

7. Prove that all critical valves in system are bubble tight

when closed under normal operating condition; function check

associated leak detector system.

Calibration of instrumentation can also be conducted in

the course of the exercise to reduce errors and improve

overall measurement uncertainty.

E. METERING CONSULTANCY SERVICES

The scope of consultancy covers:-

i. Design of metering systems.

ii. Review and vetting of metering systems at loading

gantry or Crude Oil terminal to ensure their conformity to

relevant International codes and Standards for accurate

measurement.

iii. Validation of flow measurement equipment.

The validation of Metering System is to make valid the

metered volumes of gas condensate on crude oil. These

services calibrate all measuring components of a metering

system which includes: Pressure Transmitters, Temperature

Transmitters,

Densitometries, Flow Computers, Parameter Input,

Calculations and Integration Check over twenty four (24)

hours. The final accuracy of a metering system is then provided

for the system as a variable called the uncertainty, which takes

into account the sum of all the instruments’ errors used in the

system.

F. GAS MEASUREMENT

With assistance of our UK based experts Starbest can Verify the

accuracy of optic measurement in accordance with either the

AGA 3 or ISO 5167 methods of flow computation.

Our tests would calibrate each component associated with the

gas meter run. The orifice plate would be inspected for upstream

condition. The differential pressure transmitter would be

calibrated using an air dead weight tester. The

temperature and pressure transmitter can be calibrated for

accurate measurement.

If gas densitometers are in use, a vacuum pump is used to

conduct the zero check to confirm the transducer performance.

Gas chromatography used for analysis of gas composition can also

be verified and or calibration to ensure actual performance.

In conclusion, using a portable computer Starbest would generate

a calculation check against the flow computer’s computer values

and ascertain the “Uncertainty” limits within which the

gas metering systems computes gas measurement in units of

volume or mass.

G. AUTO SAMPLING

We offer mobile Auto - sampling equipment to clients on hire to

assist and sellers and ship operators to obtain reliable and

representative samples during loading or discharge of oil cargoes.

It is generally accepted that physically obtained composite

samples from ships tanks underestimate the true BS &W and

density value.

The Auto-sampler allows continuous Flow Proportional sampling

at the shipboard manifold that is unbiased and accurate.

COMPARISON OF SHIP BOARD

MEASUREMENT AND SHORE TANKS.

The importance of ship board measurements, taken immediately

after loading or before discharge of crude oil or petroleum

product cannot be over emphasized.

They are very valuable checks on shore figures, whether these

are produced from land tank measurements or metered

quantities. In some installation, where cargo loaded are small

compared with tank and/ or pipeline capacities, the ship tanks is

bound to provide more reliable measurement than any other

source because of the complexity of pipeline system at some

terminals. In case of disputes regarding product losses, ship

figures are always regarded to be more reliable than shore

figures. This is due to intricate nature of storage terminals

pipeline system which makes it virtually impossible to be sure of

the state of all sections of line at any given time.
