Satam has secured an order to upgrade custody transfer metering units at the oil depot "Dépot Pétrolier d'Ambès" (France). 3 gantries are going to be upgraded; this represents the installation of 20 bottom loading points. Measured medium are gasoline, diesel and fuel oil. As Satam is certified for manufacturing, commissionning and repair of custody transfer metering units, the complete installation will be MID approved (compliance with European Weight and Measures regulations).

This project consists of replacing existing turbine meters by Satam vertical metering systems ZCE5 Equalis. The connection of the Equalis batch controllers with the existing automation supervisory system is also included in the project.

The ZCE5 vertical metering system is dedicated to truck loading applications. Its compact design allows an easy installation into a compact pipeline network. The Equalis L flow computer will manage the loading operations and the security devices. Equalis L  will also control the process of fuel additives injections. Thanks to its outstanding storage and communication functions, the Equalis L will aslo manage transactions, events archiving and communication with the automation and supervisory system.
