Measurement System Set-Up Solution

During the initial and scheduled regular quality assessments under the MFM+ Program, the key success factors are measurement integrity, MFM system security and operations competency. This will be reviewed by our METCORE expert evaluation team. The assessments include physical system security for operation, supporting records and reports, verification of the health of MFM inner tubes by zero verification, functionality of the MFM associated measurement device, and crew competence during actual operations.

Experts can detect any abnormalities from analysing the data continuously recorded by the MFM system which may impact the metering system’s measurement integrity. High aeration during bunker operations can also cause accuracy errors. This could be due to many reasons such as inappropriate bunker operations affecting MFM measurement capability, crew incompetence, bunker tanker’s operations system deficiencies or possible fraudulent practices. MFM+ Program acts as proactive measure to detect and prevent these risks.

​

MFM system integrity is as important as measurement accuracy. Periodic verification by our experts can minimise risk of malpractices. The audit covers critical software and hardware checks, ensuring the key parameters are not compromised. Security seals condition are checked and renewals are done, if deemed necessary. Pipeline installations are inspected for evidence of tampering or any unauthorised modifications. MFM+ Program includes checking the health of MFM inner tubes by zero verification.

​

Just as for any equipment, mass flow metering system must be in good operating conditions for optimal performance in providing accuracy of measurement. Key operations personnel must be well trained to ensure full understanding of the MFM system and its operational process prior to operating the MFM system. METCORE experts provide regular training and continuous latest updates under the MFM+ Program to ensure the competence of key personnel in bunkering operations.
