Cepsa, first bunker supplier in the Strait of Gibraltar with mass flow meters on its barges

Cepsa has installed a new and more accurate measurement system for fuel supply on its barges in the Strait of Gibraltar. The new technology, based on the Coriolis effect, enables the amount of fuel to be supplied to be determined by mass. This in turn avoids calculations being made from measurements by volume corrected by its density and temperature, and also eliminates the possible effect that the presence of air in the flow could have. The Company has installed and certified this pioneering system on two of its barges, and within the coming months it will be available on its entire fleet in the Bay of Gibraltar. To carry this out, it opted to install Promass flowmeters, the most cutting-edge technology for bunkering systems available from the manufacturer Endress+Hauser. Video on https://youtu.be/vMa0hBkmPgY
