Liquid Allocation Program for Continuous Flow User Manual

Chapter 1 – Introduction

This chapter describes the structure of this manual and presents an overview of the Liquid Allocation Program for Continuous Flow for the FloBoss 107 (FB107).

1.1 Scope and Organization

This document is the user manual for the Liquid Allocation Program for Continuous Flow (1LK-7) for use in the FB107, and the user manual for the Liquid Allocation Program for Continuous Flow (QER 10Q006) for use in the FB107 with Measurement Canada firmware.

Notes:

 The standard version of this program (1LK-7) only works with the

standard version of FB107 firmware.

 The Measurement Canada version of this program (QER 10Q006)

only works with the Measurement Canada version of FB107 firmware.

This manual describes how to download and configure this program (referred to as the “Liquid Allocation program” or “the program” throughout the rest of this manual).

You access and configure this program using ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration Software (version 1.80 or greater) loaded on a personal computer (PC) running Windows® 8 or Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit).

The sections in this manual provide information in a sequence appropriate for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the procedures and the software running in a FB107, the manual becomes a reference tool.

This manual has the following major sections:

 Chapter 1 – Introduction  Chapter 2 – Installation  Chapter 3 – Configuration  Chapter 4 – Reference

This manual assumes that you are familiar with the FB107 and its configuration. For more information, refer to the following manuals:

 FloBoss 107 Flow Manager Instruction Manual (Form A6206)  ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (for FB107)

Rev. July-15 Introduction 1

Liquid Allocation Program for Continuous Flow User Manual

1.2 Product Overview

The Liquid Allocation program allows a FB107 to interface with up to two meter runs passing liquid hydrocarbon fluids or water. These meter runs are in addition to the meter runs provided by the FB107 Application Firmware. The flowing densities (and optionally, base densities) of the liquid hydrocarbon or water are calculated based on temperatures and pressures using one or more of the following standards:

 API Standard 2540 [Chapter 11.1] (1980) Volume X, Reaffirmed,

October 1993.

 The Institute of Petroleum, Petroleum Measurement Paper No. 3,

October, 1988.

 API Chapter 11.2.1 – Compressibility Factors for Hydrocarbons: 0 –

90 Degrees API Gravity Range (1st Edition, August 1984), Reaffirmed, May 1996.

 API Chapter 11.2.2 – Compressibility Factors for Hydrocarbons: 0.350

– 0.637 Relative Density (60°F/60°F) and -50°F to 140°F Metering Temperature (2nd Edition, October 1986).

 API Chapter 11.2.1M – Compressibility Factors for Hydrocarbons:

638 – 1074 Kilograms per Cubic Metre Range (1st Edition, June,

1984), Reaffirmed, May 1996.

 API Chapter 11.2.2M – Compressibility Factors for Hydrocarbons:

350 – 637 Kilograms per Cubic Metre Density (15°C) and -46°C to 60°C Metering Temperature (1st Edition, October 1986), Reaffirmed, March, 1997.

– Physical Properties Data Section 1, Temperature and Pressure Volume Correction Factors for Generalized Crude Oil, Refined Products, and Lubricating Oils, May 2004.

 Gas Processors Association (GPA) TP-27, Temperature Correction for

the Volume of NGL and LPG, Section 5, January, 2005.

 API MPS (Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards) Chapter 11

December 2003. Meter types can be either differential or linear. The calculation standard used for differential meters is ISO5167. The calculation used for linear meters is based on AGA Report No. 11. Volume and mass flow rates and totals are calculated and stored for both meter types. The program uses user-defined point types for storing the calculated flow rates and accumulations. The program’s user-defined point types are also the location where the configuration parameters reside.

The Liquid Allocation program also supports up to two liquid density interface points. The liquid density interface points allow for manual density inputs; density inputs from densitometers; frequency inputs from a

2 Introduction Rev. July-15

Liquid Allocation Program for Continuous Flow User Manual

Micro Motion (or Solartron) 7830/40 or 7835/45/46/47; and UGC densitometers. The density value determined from the density input is referred to as the observed density. The base density of the liquid hydrocarbon passing through a meter can be specified to be calculated from the observed density.

1.3 Program Requirements

You download the Liquid Allocation program to—and then run it from— the Flash and RAM memory on the FB107 with firmware version 1.30 (or greater). Because the program is larger than 64K, it occupies two user C program numbers (1 & 2). Download and configure the program using ROCLINK 800 Configuration software version 1.84 (or greater).

The downloadable program is:

Chapter 3 – Configuration

After you download and start the Liquid Allocation program, you configure the program and view calculation results using ROCLINK 800 software. To do this you use four program-specific screens (Liquid Preferences, Liquid Products, Liquid Meters, and Liquid Density Interfaces):

 Use the Liquid Preferences screen to set the units of the inputs and

calculated results values.  Use the Liquid Products screen to configure up to two liquid

hydrocarbon or water products which can be selected as the fluid

passing through a liquid meter run.  Use the Liquid Meters screen to configure and view the results for up

to two liquid meter runs through which one of the liquid products

defined by the Liquid Products screen flows. One of the configuration

items is to specify if the base density for the product passing through

the meter is to be calculated from a Liquid Density Interface point, or

to use the user-specified base density for the liquid product.  Use the Liquid Density Interface screen to configure and view the

observed densities for up to two liquid density interface points.

4.2 Liquid Allocation History

For many liquid measurement use cases, it is desirable to calculate hourly and daily flow weighted averages for the process variables (such as temperature, pressure, and density). The Liquid Allocation Program can be used to archive weighted averages in history for a limited set of liquid meter values. When these parameters are configured in the FB107 standard history, the program overrides the typical firmware history mechanism. The program calculates the flow weighted average using the indicated volume. The program performs weighted averages regardless of the archive type you select on the History Setup screen. The following parameters are supported for this feature:

Note: If additional parameters for the Liquid Allocation Program point

types are added, they will not be correctly calculated as a flow weighted average.

Parameter Name Archive Point
