Abstract: The measurement of an ethane rich stream can be thought of as a three step process. The first step in the process is to determine if the product should be measured in terms of volume or mass and which of these methods will produce the best results. In the case of an ethane rich stream, the physical properties are such that it would be difficult to apply conventional correction factors to obtain a net volumetric measurement. Therefore, by going to a mass measurement system we eliminate the need for these physical correction factors and still obtain an accurate measurement. The second step in the process is to determine the weight of the product. This can be done by measuring either the gravity or density of the stream under flowing conditions. The third step in the process is the sampling of the product to determine the streams composition. Once this is known, the volume of each component can be calculated, and the payment or exchange based on these calculated volumes.
