TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory, the flow measurement R&D specialist, has launched its £16million Advanced Multiphase Facility (AMF), which will help global oil and gas operators to ensure that production remains economically viable.
The AMF’s test range (of operating pressures, temperatures, flowrates and metrology) is beyond the capability of any other laboratory in the world. Operating at pressures up to 140 bar, the AMF doubles previous test facility capabilities to meet industry’s current and future measurement challenges. With a working envelope at least 20 times larger than any multiphase or wet gas facility in the world, the AMF also has the highest flow rate in the world (for both gas and liquid) within one multiphase facility.
