Duplex-body Flow Meter Commissioning Procedures

1. The Duplex-body Flowmeter Skid can be connected to OGM or single well according to the
actual situation. Check and confirm whether the external pipeline connection is correct and
reliable.
2. Before the commissioning of the duplex-body flowmeter skid, check and confirm whether it is
in good condition, especially use a multimeter to check whether three phases' fuses in the
control box are in good condition.
Particular attention: Power supply: AC 380V/3Phases.
3. Power on the duplex-body flowmeter skid, and turn on the power switch on the control box.
This moment, the PLC will self-check, the screen will light on and there will be information
displayed. The electric three-way valve may or may not perform actions, depending on the
liquid level in tanks A & B.
4. Check the electric three-way valve, touch the two motors to see if there is any heat, if it is hot,
turn off the power immediately, if it is normal, go on the next step.
5. Open the inlet valve of the duplex-body flowmeter skid and other valve between the test line
and the flowmeter skid.
6. Operate the single-well valve, slowly open the valve from the single-well to the test line, and
pay attention to observe the DPTs' digital alternative change on two tanks, and two electric
three-way valves' action.
Particular attention: At present, the selected single-well’s valve the trunk line is still at open-
status.
7. Observe the pressure rise in the tank, when the pressure in the tanks reaches the trunk line
pressure, open the outlet valve of duplex-body flowmeter skid and other valve between the
flowmeter skid and the trunk line.
8. Operate the single-well valve, close the valve from the single-well to the trunk line. This
moment, all the production fluid from the single well passes through the duplex-body
flowmeter skid.
9. Depending on the amount of associated gas in a single well, the liquid level in the duplex-body
flowmeter skid may be different. If there is very little associated gas, there may be a liquid level

HH alarm, just reset the alarm. Then wait until the electric three-way valve can be switched
normally, and press the "Start" button to start metering.
10. If you want to end the measurement, press the "End" button to end the measurement.
11. Switch to the measurement data group on screen to record the daily production and ACCUM
production during this test. Complete the report with recorded data.
12. Operate the single well valve, open the valve from the single well to the trunk line, and close
the valve from the single well to the test line.
13. Close the inlet and outlet valves and turn off power supply on the duplex-body flowmeter skid.
If the other wells of the same OGM are no longer measured, empty the liquid in the both tanks;
if you want to continue to measure the next well, the liquid in both tanks does not need to be
drained.
Three-way status:

Troubleshooting
Question：How to do if the "LL: Too High" alarm message appears on the screen？
Answer："LL: Too High" means that the liquid level in both tanks is higher than the normal value,
the PLC system will force the electric three-way valve to switch to one tank to inlet and outlet
liquid at the same time, this moment, you can open the drain valve of the non-working tank to
discharge some liquid in the tank. When the pressures of two differential pressure gauges on the
tank are consistent, you can close the drain valve.
