Truck/Railcar Unloading/Loading Metering Solution (TRULS)

Yokogawa's truck and railcar transloading solution reduces delivery time to 6 weeks or better and delivers a pre-configured package where parameters can be easily re-configured instead of requiring full engineering and programming at the site. Yokogawa uses heavy duty contactors and components to enhance reliability. The solution allows for the use of a calculated water cut based on coriolis meter readings. The net oil computation can also be augmented with a water cut meter where the customer can set the range for when the net oil calculation uses the meter reading instead of the calculated water cut value. Additionally, Yokogawa's net oil calculation allows for a selectable setting of brine algorithms to be used that covers salinity from 0% up to 16% (with ongoing testing for up to 20%).

Yokogawa's liquid net oil calculation provides high accuracy. It matches the API MPMS standard test cases to eight decimal places or better and it fully meets the AGA gas calculation standard. Yokogawa's RotaMass reading accuacy is +/- 0.5% for gas and +/-0.1% for liquids (see General specification 01R4B04-00E-E for more details).

Yokogawa's truck and railcar transloading solution complies with regulatory standards and supports display of data, logging, and optionally Printing batch transfers as well as e-ticketing using configurable determination of Net Oil and water cut based on:

• Configurable ranges for using the water cut meter reading and calculated water cut for use in the Net Oil computation.

By default TRULS supports net oil computing and metering of Crude Oil, Refined Product, Lubricating Oils, and fluids that described as being within the API MPMS 11.1 scope. The density, pressure, temperature, and fluid ranges are as follows:

		OIL
		Crude	Refined Products	Lubricating
Density	kg/m³ @60°F	610.6 to 1163.5		800.9 to 1163.5
	API Gravity @ 60°F	100.0 to -10.0		45 to -10.0
	kg/m³ @15°C	611.16 to 1163.79	611.16 to 1163.86	801.25 to 1163.85
Temperature	°F	-58.0 to 302.0
	°C	-50.0 to 150.0
P	Pressure (psig)	0 to 1500
α	Alpha60 per °F	230.0E-6 to 930.0E-6
	Alpha60 per °C	414.0E-6 to 1674.0E-6

Refined Products include –

Gasolines:
Motor gasoline and unfinished gasoline blending stock with a base density range between approximately 50 °API and 85 °API. This group includes substances with the commercial identification of:

premium gasoline motor spirit motor gasoline naphtha catalytic cracked gasoline

gasoline clear gasoline catalyst gas aviation gasoline

unleaded gasoline low lead gas alkylate reformulated gasoline

Jet Fuels:
Jet fuels, kerosene, and Stoddard solvents with a base density range between approximately 37 °API and 50 °API. This group includes substances with the commercial identification of:

kerosene jet fuel A jet kerosene white kerosene

aviation jet A aviation turbine fuel Stoddard solvent

JP-2 JP-8

Fuel Oils:
Diesel oils, heating oils and fuel oils with a base density range between approximately -10 °API and 37 °API. This group includes substances with the commercial identification of:

No. 6 fuel oil fuel oil PA low sulfur fuel LT fuel oil diesel fuel

fuel oil fuel oils LLS premium diesel gas oil heating fuel

No. 2 furnace oil furnace oil auto diesel No. 2 burner fuel

Lubricating Oils –
Lubricating oil is considered to conform to the commodity group Generalized Lubricating Oils if it is a base stock derived from crude oil fractions by distillation or asphalt precipitation. For the purpose of API MPMS 11.1 and TRULS, lubricating oils have initial boiling points greater than 700°F (370°C) and densities in the range between approximately -10 to 45°API.

Natural and Drip Gasolines
Natural and drip gasolines are paraffinic substances and are not actually refined products. Drip gasoline is the paraffinic condensate from gas well production. Drip gasoline is a mixture of natural gas liquids, primarily butanes, pentanes, hexanes, and heptanes. Aromatic natural gasoline should be considered part of the Generalized Refined Products commodity group.

TRULS supports all of these drip and aromatic natural gasoline substances that should be considered part of the Generalized Crude Oil commodity group provided their density lies in the appropriate range.

Reformulated Fuels
API has investigated volume correction factors for reformulated fuels. Included in this study were gasoline

feedstocks containing any one of the following oxygenates: MTBE, ETBE, DIPE, and TAME. The addition of minor proportions of ethers to gasolines, up to 2.7 wt% oxygen, such as permitted in many national fuel

specifications, does not significantly change the correction factors from the Generalized Refined Products table.

The Special Applications procedure, which requires laboratory testing of a representative sample, was also found satisfactory for all of the gasolines, oxygenates, and mixtures studied.

MTBE
Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is best represented by the Special Applications procedure with a 60°F thermal expansion factor (α60 ) of 789.0×10-6 °F-1.

JP-4
API MPMS 11.1 guidelines recommend:

• In the general case, represent JP-4 as a Generalized Crude Oil.
• In cases where the buyer and seller agree that a greater degree of precision is desirable, determine the coefficient of thermal expansion of the various blends and use the special application tables. The above recommendations apply only to JP-4 which is a blend. Other jet fuels such as JP-2 and JP-8 or materials that have densities at 60°F of 787.5 kg/m³ or greater are well represented as a Generalized Refined Product.

Pure Compounds
Pure paraffinic compounds (C5+) are well represented as Generalized Crude Oils within the range of the correlations. Non-paraffinic pure compounds (C5+) are not well represented as either Generalized Crude Oils or Generalized Refined Products; however, thermal expansion factors can be determined and these pure compounds can be treated as a Special Application via configuration of the API MPMS 11.1 library used by TRULS. It is recognized that there are some pure components whose densities put them in the range of this Standard and the standard(s) for light hydrocarbons. The two standards give results that are of comparable accuracy but are slightly different. It is up to the contracting parties to decide which is more appropriate to use.

Gasohol
Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and 10 vol% ethanol. Based on data (available at API) obtained at the University of Missouri – Rolla, gasohol is best represented as a special application with a 60°F thermal expansion factor (α₆₀ ) of 714.34×10-6 °F^-1.
