To limit your exposure to potential financial risks arising from inaccurate measurements in your energy metering system, there is a need to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of your metering of gas quality.
By investing in annual health checks and performance tests provided by an independent specialist company, the quality and accuracy of your data is maintained with proven traceability and a sound audit trail. This provides confidence in your natural gas analysis which is subsequently used to determine other calculated properties and ultimately the monetary value of your gas.
Calculations of mass/energy balances, physical properties and process efficiencies are then more credible and have a traceable and quantifiable uncertainty. Your internal risk assessments can then be based on accurate and auditable information providing improved financial predictions and profitability.
An annual health check on a gas quality measurement system provides qualitative and quantitative information about its current performance and also confidence in expected future performance. It provides a benchmark of comprehensive traceable evidence against which future performance can be evaluated.
As part of the health check we carry out an inspection of the whole gas quality measurement chain covering
