From Hoffer Flow Controls, Inc.
The town of Mont Belview, Texas, is located along the gulf coast. This geographic region is recognized for the vast underground salt cavern storage facilities. A number of refineries are also located in this area. Many of the companies specialize in the production of light hydrocarbon products. Enterprise Products is a major employer in town. They act as a supplier of hydrocarbon products and also as a storage facility. Their significant storage capability allows them to lease space to a number of companies. Enterprise Products utilizes turbine flowmeters extensively for custody transfer as well as for “balancing” their storage facilities. Balancing a particular storage facility accounts for product removed and product that has been added. This type of application requires a bi-directional turbine flowmeter that is extremely repeatable over a period of time, is accurate, and one that can tolerate the service conditions. Many of the applications at Enterprise are more challenging in that the product is very dry without the usual lubricating properties associated with hydrocarbon products. Products & Services
