Emerson gets supply order from Reliance Petroleum

It is reported that Emerson Process Management has secured a USD 19 million contract to supply metering systems to Reliance Petroleum Limited.

According to the contract, Emerson will engineer and deliver the multi run high performance oil and gas metering systems. High integrity custody transfer measurement is required for fiscal accounting and taxation purposes.

The Daniel model 3804 liquid ultrasonic meter will be used to determine fiscal transfers of all petroleum products ranging from heavy crude to light hydrocarbon processed for the export market. The Daniel devices were chosen for their cutting edge technology and reliability in this critical custody transfer application.

Mr Mike Train president of Emerson Asia Pacific said that “We are delighted to be entrusted with the vital fiscal metering responsibility for this major refining and petrochemical project of Reliance Petroleum Limited. This major project will have us supplying oil and gas metering systems that play a key role in ensuring that the project is a financial success by providing accurate fiscal measurement.”

It is noted that Reliance Petroleum Limited is set to make history by constructing a Greenfield petroleum refinery and polypropylene plant at a special economic zone in Jamnagar in India.
