1. INTRODUCTION
Eastern Refinery Limited (ERL) is a Subsidiary of Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation and was
incorporated under Companies’ Act 1913 (amended in 1994) as a Public Limited Company in 1963
with 35% EP&IDC’s (East Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation) shares, 30% shares held by
Burmah Oil Company (BOC) and the rest 35% by private entrepreneurs. From November, 1985,
Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) became the 100% shareholder of the company. ERL plays
a vital role in supplying around 30% of the country’s current petroleum products’ requirements and
maintains stability in the Petroleum Products’ market. Recently ERL signs a MOU to triple its
production capacity.

2. PROJECT SUMMERY
ERL is currently undertaking a project to install dynamic measurement systems to measure, sample
and control to custody transfer standards of its product as it transfers these to various marketing
companies.

Page 1 of 71
 With reference to the P&ID’s within Appendix B there will be seven measurement points in total
some of which will be configured as either a uni-directional or bi-directional systems. We anticipate
the use of either ultrasonic or Coriolis meters. The purpose of this specification is to set specific
minimum requirements in order to evaluate and select the optimum solution for our project.

On the basis of that there is suitable access and the pressure drop does not exceed 1.5 bar in proving
operation/ introduces a risk of cavitation, then it is envisaged that each of the metering points will
be configured with a mobile SVP where particular attention should be given to its location, use across
all specified products and the prover volume with the ability to meet API and OIML R117-1 of current
versions.

A common Metering Control System is required in a redundant configuration. This control system
will be required to perform other functions such as Custody Transfer measurement point upstream
existing pump control and monitoring, replace and diverter valve control, further potential interfaces
to the existing ATG system however here in after mentioned as ERL tank terminal automation or tank
management system, Oil Sector Fiber Optic network, Close circuit surveillance, develop a tank
terminal supervisory control room, 3rd party system certifications and others.

6. SYSTEM DESIGN
6.1 General

The Fiscal liquid metering systems shall meet Class 1 measurement requirements and shall
be robust against the failure of a single measurement component. Failures of individual
instruments or equipment shall not affect the uncertainty or availability of the
measurement system. Full measurement redundancy shall be incorporated within the
design. The metering station instrumentation and Metering Control System shall offer a
high level of self-diagnosis. Condition based monitoring for the ultrasonic meter or Coriolis,
whichever is selected should be incorporated into the MSC. Vendor to provide details of
this at bid stage for review.

Selection of the flow meter model shall be based on the ability of the flow meter to meet
specified performance and, in particular, shall consider the required operating flow rate
range, line size, liquid viscosity range, pressure drop, and flow rate turn down for the design
life of the project. It is important that the heavier crude oils are considered due to the low
Reynolds numbers below 5,000. The vendor shall at bid stage provide information on meter
performance at low Reynolds numbers, calibration methodology, transferability of
calibration to site conditions and similar references at these Reynolds numbers of interest.

Page 6 of 71
 As the inlet pressure is around 4 bar the system pressure drop should be minimized. The
target pressure drop should be < 1bar in normal operation or <1.5 bar in proving mode. The
vendor should provide a system pressure drop calculation with their bid.

The metering systems shall be supplied on a fully integrated skid with all interface flanges,
process connections and electrical interfaces wired to termination points at the skid edge.
The supply and implementation of the interconnection cables, including all power and I/O
are part of the vendor’s scope.

Safety relief valves shall be provided to protect against liquid thermal expansion.
Particular attention shall be given to the location and layout of equipment requiring
dedicated maintenance access areas. Equipment, valves, instruments, and controls that
require an operator shall be viewable and accessible for operation and maintenance from
the skid edge, or from walkways or platforms on the skid (As applicable).

The Measurement Control System shall be common to all measurement points and
supplied within a RITTAL panel, fully wired and ready for installation within a suitable HVAC
controlled instrument room. It is envisaged that the panel may sit against a wall and
therefore should be designed with swing frame access. The flow computers and MSC
should be supplied within the Rittal panel with a lockable door. It is important that the flow
computers as installed so that there is enough space for air circulation and that there is no
opportunity for overheating. It is also important that proper space is allocated for
marshalling of I/O, overall access and operability of the system.

Panel to skid interface terminations shall be segregated and made available within the
panel. Terminations shall be located at the base of the panel and accessed from the rear.
It is imperative that PID drawings are included as part of the bid for all metering skids and
the control system. As the supplier will cut pipes and install these systems it is imperative
that the vendor provides a sketch and description of how these systems will be installed so
that ERL gain confidence in the scope of supply and compliance with our requirements.

6.2 Plant Layout

Please refer to Appendix B of this document for the plant layout which provides
skid location.

This system will be a uni-directional for export purposes.

6.2.5 Skid 5 - Proposed Furnace Oil

Page 7 of 71
 This system will be a Bi-directional. This is a low Reynolds number application and
care should be taken in its design; meter selection, flow calibration and verification
techniques. The overall pressure drop budget is also a critical consideration.

6.2.6 Skid 6 - NAPTHA Export – MO Gas Import

This system will be a Bi-directional for import and export purposes.

6.2.7 Skid 7 – Crude Oil ALC+ Murban

This system will be uni-directional for import purposes.

6.3 Sizing of Liquid Lines

The velocities shall in general be kept low enough to prevent problems with erosion,
Water hammer pressure surges, and noise, vibration and reaction forces. In some
cases a minimum velocity is required.
The acceptable pressure drop will in general be the governing criterion when:
 Flashing of liquid has to be avoided, i.e. upstream control valves and in pump
suction lines.
 The available pressure drop is limited.
For this application the maximum velocity should be limited to 8 m/s.

6.4 Strainers
Basket type, standby, easy on stream replaceable, strainers shall be considered. Applicable
mesh sizing shall be provided by the metering vendor during the systems design to maximize
filtration requirements and minimize pressure drop. It may be deemed that a strainer is not
required upstream of the primary element however a strainer may be required upstream of
the Skid.

ERL Prefer Standby on stream replaceable Strainer. Vendor should advise pending
complexity. Strainers shall be equipped with venting connections, fully integrated within the
skid pipe work and connected to the closed drain system.
An air eliminator with proper sizing shall also be considered on a station to station basis.
Where air is expected within the flow lines eliminators shall be installed. Eliminators shall
operate autonomously and shall discharge the extracted air to the vent system.

6.5 Primary Measurement Devices

6.5.1 CORIOLIS Meters

CORIOLIS meters shall be considered as an option within the fiscal liquid
metering systems.
DESIGN CONSIDARATION
The Tenderers who offer Custody transfer flow meter using CORIOLIS FLOW METERS
for ERL the design consideration shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5, Section 6, 6-
System Description. The considerations are as below.

Page 8 of 71
FLOW SENSOR CONSIDARATIONS:
The selected flow sensor for ERL that measure parameters safely and
accurately over the performance range shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5,
Section 6 6.1 Following are to be consider for Flow Sensor.
a. SENSOR TUBE CONFIGURATION: ERL Prefer straight flow tube for ease of drain
ability, clean ability, installation and maintenance.
b. SENSOR TUBE MATERIAL:
c. UNCERTAINTY: For Justify proposed CORIOLIS meter Accuracy The
CORIOLIS vendor shall provide confirmation of the number of runs/ passes
for the recommended prover size required to meet API MPMS Chapter 4.8
Table A-1 to achieve a meter factor uncertainty of ± 0.027%. At proposal
stage The system vendor should provide calculations to demonstrate
achievement of a successful prove, i.e. x% proving success in x runs/
passes per run to achieve API.
d. PRESSURE RATING
e. ELECTRICAL AREA OF CLASSIFICATIONS:
The flow sensor, its transmitter and accessories equipment to meet the
class-1 / Zone-1 industrial requirement electric area classifications.
f. Manufacturer calibration certificate, test result, electrical area
classification certification & material test reports for proper
documentation of the flow sensor are to be submitted. When used on
the higher viscosity application the CORIOLIS meter vendor should
provide performance data and also transferability of laboratory
calibration to actual site conditions.

The CORIOLIS meter should be flow calibrated in accordance with API

MPMS 5.6 at an ISO 17025 laboratory on Hydrocarbon fluids. The
laboratory should have NVLAP (for US)/UKAS (UK)/RvA (Dutch)/Cofrac
(French) accreditation and be traceable to global standards and
internationally accepted through the International Laboratory
Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). A copy of this Laboratory Certification
should be provided

h. SENSOR ORIENTATION: Installation of the meter shall follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for applicable process conditions. Meter orientation shall
usually follow the ‘U’ tube facing down to avoid any air or gas entrainment. The
‘U’ tube must be strictly installed in horizontal plane and the the meter sensor
shall be above ground at all time to avoid. There shall be no pit or ground cavity
to accommodate the meter sensor section to avoid water entrapment.

i. Each Metering system should have redundancy in terms of the primary

and secondary measurement devices. It is the goal of ERL to reduce the
frequency of in-situ verifications and therefore limit the cost of long term
intervention and operations. It may be that the meters are proven initially
at installation, 3 months and then 12 months thereafter to build a
historical footprint of stability. The vendor can consider two meters in
series or in parallel with a cross over configuration taking into
consideration space and pressure drop budget. This will provide a
dynamic online comparison and allow ERL to reduce the frequency of in-
situ verifications over time.
j. Each meter shall be sized according to the design flow rates and offer
flow and operating data locally via an integral display. The CORIOLIS
meter should be sized for a maximum velocity of 8 m/s and pressure drop
should be minimized to avoid any potential cavitation’s issues.

CORIOLIS TRANSMITTER CONSIDARATIONS:

Following consideration shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5 Section 6, 6.2

a. ENVIRONMENT: ERL is The Harsh Marine Ambient Environment.

Temperature and Humidity are extremes special consideration should
take For appropriate protection. Consider weather, fungus proofing and

shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5 section6 6.2.4
 All readout or indicating and signal processing devices are to be use
should have susceptibility to RFI & EMI.
 Security of readouts
 Security of electrical transmission system
 CORIOLIS Meter Transmitter should ensure it is compatible with
sensor, accessory equipment, higher level data logging or control
system. It should provide the necessary output signals
 CORIOLIS Meter Transmitter should ensure that it can produce signal
for all required accessories equipment. Even while simultaneously
generating a pulse output for a prover counter.
 Consistency of pulse output duty cycle during proving.
 Proximity requirements to sensor.
 Ability to drive control outputs for alarms or to signal flow reversal.
 Allowable distance between communications components in the
communication system RS323, RS485, etc.

SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDARATION

Those intending to apply CORIOLIS METER for custody transfer metering for
ERL should satisfy themselves that meter, its application, and proving facilities
can reliably and consistently meet the performance criteria of all parties
engaged in the transaction. Serious consideration should be given to the
following items before applying CORIOLIS meter for custody transfer
measurement.

a. General:
 External vibrations at specific frequency may cause measurement error.
 Two phase flow (Liquid/Gas) can adversely affect meter
performance. The Meter shall be capable to continue to provide flow
and density readings even in two phase flow condition even at 80%
GVF. In addition, the meter shall be able to alert the user of the two
phase flow condition via the integral display and through the
Metering Control System
 CORIOLIS meter system should comply with all applicable code and
regulations. Designer must follow schematic diagram of a typical
meter installation shown in API 5.6 Figure-2 with all optional items.
Except Control Valves. That will be selected basis on operational
requirement.

Page 11 of 71
b. Mechanical Design

 For ERL product pumping high flow rate and consequent pressure
drop installation of a bank of meter in parallel may be used. API 5.6-
6.3.2
 Tenderer should study ERL product, any consideration that tends to
contribute to vaporization or cavitation of the liquid stream should
be avoid by system design.
 An air/vapor eliminator should be equipped in the event that there
are any concerns with air/ gas entrainment. To be discussed and
agreed with ERL.
 The effect of fluid swirl and non-uniform velocity profiles should take
in consideration which caused by upstream and downstream piping
configuration on meter performance may differ from one meter to
another.
 The meter orientation should design in a position that assure
measuring tube or tubes are completely filled with fluid under all
flow and static conditions or provision made to not measure flow
during no flow condition.
 For volumetric measurement thermo well should installed near the
flow sensor.
 Recording or indicating pressure device should be installed near the
flow sensor. Tenderer should study ERL Product and for volume
measurement of highly compressible fluids under varying flow rates,
it may necessary to install pressure sensing instrument both
upstream and downstream of the meter.
 Pending pressure drop and complexity, parallel Standby Double
Strainer or other protective device shall be considered upstream of
the meter and both side for bi directional meter.
 After any batch operation, Product Pipe Lines are Water flushed.
Instant of water present shall take in design consideration by using
BSW Monitoring devices.
 Tenderer shall justify that the proposed areas indicated are suitable
install CORIOLIS Skid and control room.
 For Piping Installation Applicable industrial standards shall be
followed when installing the meter run components. Piping
Installation (e.g. DOT part 195. Subpart E, Sections 195.300 through
195.310 and ASME B31.3 and B31.4) provide design guidelines and
may specify the operating pressure range.
c. Stored Zero value Verification:
 When flow meter valves are shut for close the flow the CORIOLIS
Meter should indicate zero flow if not allow zeroing are required.
Due to bi-directional flow ERL prefer shut off, double block and bleed
valves both upstream and downstream of the meter to block it when
zeroing the meter. ERL request stored zero value verification is required
and it would be a normal procedure of the meter.

Page 12 of 71
 d. Density verification:
 Accurate determination of the line density is critical to successful
proving of a CORIOLIS Meter. Consideration to the ability to sample
product for hydrometer/lab test & master Densitometer is
requested.
e. Valves
Valves in the CORIOLIS Meter installation involved divert control or block
flow during metering or proving should have smooth opening and closing.
The proving valve should be a twin seal valve with an incorporated proven
method of leak detection.
 All valves that used in CORIOLIS Metering system shall be designed
such that they will not admit air in the system.
 For controlling intermittent flow, valves shall be of the fast acting,
Shock-minimizing type so as to avoid damaging the equipment and
or adversely affecting the accuracy of measurement.
 Automatic devices such as flow limiting control valve or restricting
orifice if required should be install downstream to the meter. Special
consideration shall be taken for bi-directional installation.

When designing Custody Transfer CORIOLIS Flow Meter for ERL Excessive
Pressure surge due to thermal expansion of the fluid should be taken In to
consideration.

6.5.2 Multipath Ultrasonic Meter

Multipath Ultrasonic Meter shall be considered as an option within the fiscal
liquid metering systems.
DESIGN CONSIDARATION
The Tenderers who offer Custody transfer flow meter using ULTRASONIC FLOW
METERS for ERL the design consideration shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5,
Section 8, 6-Design Consideration. Considerations are as follow
a. Process Parameters
- Maximum and Minimum flow rates
- Temperature
- Pressure
Process Physical properties
- Viscosity
- Relative density
- Vapor Pressure
- Corrosiveness
b. To represent accurately the actual metering condition following devices
shall install. Their location shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5, Section 8, 6.2
- Temperature devices
- Temperature test thermo wells
- Pressure and Density sensing devices

Page 13 of 71
 c. If air/gas entrainment is considered to be an issue then the following should
be implemented:
- Air eliminator
- Vapor eliminator
d. The LUSM should be approved to OIML R117 Class 0.3 and meet the
requirements of API MPMS 5.8. The vendor shall provide a copy of their
OIML R117 accreditation as a part of the proposal. The LUSM should be
configured with a minimum of 8 paths. It is required to have a LUSM which
is of a direct point to point measurement rather than a bouncing path
configuration thus avoiding any effects of wall roughness on path length,
maximizing meter stability and through life performance. To ensure proper
flow profile recognition due to non-symmetrical flow and swirl a measure
should include in meter profile. Bouncing path configurations are therefore
not acceptable. A flow conditioner is not preferred unless pressure drop is
not deemed to be an issue.
In addition, the Reynolds number performance of the ultrasonic meter is
paramount. The vendor shall provide the following information:

- Minimum of 5 project references for custody transfer applications

for Reynolds numbers below 5,000 with details on system
configuration, meter size and process data.
- Field proving report for USM at Re > 5,000.
- OIML R117 Certification stating approved viscosity and Reynolds
number ranges.

e. To ensure the effect of air and sediment The metering system shall Comply
API MPMS Chapter 5, Section 8, 6.5 guideline and manufacturers
recommendations.
f. To measure the amount of water in the fluid being measured necessary
steps shall be taken. The Procedure shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5,
Section 8, 6.6.
Divert system should incorporate In this issues more over to avoid Water
flash after Marin Vessel unload divert or meter bypass may important.
LUSM manufacturer guideline shall be considered in this limitation.
g. The Design shall strictly comply all applicable regulations and code. Upon
Which ERL evaluate the Tenderer’s technical offer.
h. Meter shall be adequately protected from excessive system pressure
through the proper use of pressure relief devices.
i. Necessary steps to be taken to operate the meter pressure above Process
Physical property, vapor pressure and back pressure calculation in the
meter run, should be as derived in API 5.8.6.9

c. In the case of bi-directional configurations, the above mentioned flow
meters will require a bi-directional calibration and determine meter factor
for each direction. These should be flow calibration at an ISO 17025/ NVLAP
approved Lab on hydrocarbon product across the Reynolds number range
of interest. A water calibration is not acceptable. The meters should be
calibrated with their upstream, downstream pipework and flow
conditioners (if applicable). If flow calibrated with a flow conditioner then
the meter should be marked relative to the conditioner, pipework and
shipped as one piece in that orientation to maximum calibration
transferability.
d. Location of Temperature Pressure and density instrument shall comply API

0.1% linearity specification.
o. The ultrasonic meter proposed should not be of a prototype configuration
but be of a proven design with at least 5 years installed references. Installed
base references for the exact meter proposed for similar applications, flow
and viscosity ranges should be provided with the proposal.

INSTALLATION
Applicable industrial standards shall be followed when installing the meter run
components. Following Installation consideration shall comply API MPMS Chapter 5
Section 8.9
a. Flow Conditioning element intended to reduce spin or velocity profile
distortion need to install as per guide line API 5.8-9.1
b. Selection of servo-motor operated Valves and other valves required special
considerations as guided in API 5.8-9.2
c. All Electronics used for Ultrasonic Flow meter systems shall be designed to
meet the applicable Hazardous area classifications
Electrical

a. The LUSM should be suitable for the hazardous area classification and
preferable of an Eexd design and be rated to IP66 (NEMA 4/4X) as a
minimum. The electrical system shall be designed an install to meet the
applicable hazardous area classifications
b. The electrical signal system shall be designed to provide appropriate fidelity
and security
c. To avoid Electromagnetic Interference on UFMs special carte to be taken
d. Consideration should take to avoid source of potential from Cathodic
Protection and grounding system
e. An Un-interrupted regulated power system has to incorporate for
continuous meter operation.

Page 16 of 71
In order to enhance ERL operations and avoid line depressurization the LUSM
should have transducers which are mounted in pressure containing housings with
a metal acoustic interface and can be replaced while the meter body is under
operating conditions.
The ultrasonic meter proposed should have a linearity of ± 0.15% or better over
its nominal flow range. The metering skids should be designed so that there is
redundancy in the primary and secondary measurements. The metering skid
should also have the possibility to be able to route these meters in series so that
24/7 dynamic or periodic comparisons can be performed which will allow a
historical footprint of stability to be built and therefore reduce in-situ proving
over time. A discrepancy check should be performed within the flow computer
and the history of performance stored and displayed by the control system.
For header 5, FO product great care should be taken due to the Low Re. For
metering points where the Re may fall into a range where transitional flow
regimes may occur then the proposed meter should also be selected and
calibrated to deliver a linearity of + 0.15% or better throughout the lower Re
Range. An OIML R117 Class 0.3 certificate should be provided to demonstrate
that the meter has no Re limitation. All other lines should have duty/ standby
however for this line a single meter ultrasonic meter is preferred and however
the vendor should demonstrate that it has a high level of redundancy. During
flow calibration two transducer chords should be connected to demonstrate that
the meter can hold its linearity performance for this application. The vendor shall
provide a track record and proof of performance at proposal stage in the form of
a field proving certificate.

For bi-directional applications the vendor should provide a recommendation for

location of the thermo wells. The metering section which includes the thermo
wells should be calibrated with the LUSM to ensure that any potential installation
effects due to the thermo wells are removed. The meter run with thermo wells
should be used with the meter tube as part of the flow calibration.

Page 17 of 71
 The LUSM will be proven in-situ using a small volume prover. It is preferable that
the prover piston is retracted by use of mechanical means rather than a
consumable. The LUSM vendor should provide confirmation of the number of
runs/ passes for the recommended prover size required to meet API MPMS
Chapter 4.8 Table A-1 to achieve a meter factor uncertainty of ± 0.027% in five
consecutive runs to within 0.05% span of repeatability. Care should be taken if
the prover is to prove the ultrasonic or Coriolis meter directly. At proposal stage
the LUSM vendor should provide calculations to demonstrate achievement of
a successful prove, i.e. x% proving success in x runs/ passes per run to achieve
API. If the recommendation is to prove the primary meter directly then the
vendor shall provide a proving report for a similar sized meter (largest offered)
for the proving volume proposed.

As noted in the earlier section the metering skid should be configured in such a
way that the meters can be compared with each other for continuous online
checking and therefore the ability for ERL to increase the frequency of in-situ
proving over time thus reducing manual intervention and operational costs.
The vendor shall also advise whether one common prover will be suffice to cover
all meter sizes offered and also cover black and white oils.

The LUSM should be flow calibrated at an ISO 17025 laboratory on Hydrocarbon

fluids. Water Calibration is not acceptable. The laboratory should have an ISO
17025 and NVLAP (for US)/UKAS (UK)/RvA (Dutch)/Cofrac (French) accreditation
and therefore be traceable to global standards and internationally accepted
through the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). The
vendor should calibrate the meter with the project spools unless the meter does
not rely on calibration with the project pipe spools. However, data on calibration
transferability should be provided, including any pipe interchangeability test data
The MSC should have the ability to monitor, display, trend and alarm on the
following LUSM diagnostics:
Average VOS

cab with all required auxiliary equipment such as flexible hoses, power and water draw
kit for verification purposes.
It is envisaged the meter will be located upstream of the prover take-off connections,
or on the inlet side of the prover, therefore the upstream volume must be used.
The meter prover shall be capable of proving each duty meter over the expected flow
range for the meter at the operating conditions. The vendor should explicitly state
whether the prover will be provided with the intention to directly prove the primary
