  • LocationAbu Dhabi, UAE
  • IndustryOil and gas
  • PlatformsGE PLC, GE Cimplicity, Emerson S600+

The brief

A fiscal natural gas metering skid for ADNOC and AD Ports Group in Abu Dhabi needed its PLC, SCADA and flow computer integration. We executed it with Nirmal Industrial Controls, the skid partner.

What we built

Emerson FloBoss S600+ flow computers calculate flow to AGA, ISO, GPA and GERG; the GE PLC handles skid logic and valves; Cimplicity shows meter runs and totals. Panels built in Mumbai to our specification.

  • Who owns the measurement

    Emerson FloBoss S600+ flow computers calculate flow to AGA, ISO, GPA and GERG standards with tamper-resistant totals. The GE PLC handles skid logic and valves. The flow computer owns the measurement and the PLC owns the valves.

  • What the operator sees

    GE Cimplicity shows the meter runs and totals, on the SCADA workstation and on the panel HMI.

  • Panels built before shipping

    Panels were built in Mumbai to our specification and shipped with the GE PLC racks and Emerson S600+ flow computers already mounted and tested.

  • The partnership

    Nirmal Industrial Controls was the skid partner. Bhavanee is Nirmal's authorised representative for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
