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
METERING
AUDIT
OF
TERMINAL
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
MEASUREMENT AND SHORE TANKS.
BOARD
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.
