System focused on gas and liquids; delivers greater cost efficiency, extended lifecycle support and improved process control.

Honeywell has announced the global availability of its MeterSuite Fiscal metering solution, which is integrated within a sustainable and proven industrial control platform - Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) to provide full liquid and gas flow calculation for greater cost efficiency, extended lifecycle support and improved control. MeterSuite is the only commercially available metering solution able to be incorporated into a control system.

Developed in partnership with Swinton Technology, a leading independent metering solution integrator, MeterSuite is now available globally after its initial launch in EMEA and North America. It offers Honeywell Process Solutions’ (HPS) customers the opportunity to carry out all types of metering using a common ‘off-the-shelf’ and supportable platform without the need for customised hardware and engineering.

The two-tiered MeterSuite solution removes an entire layer from the traditional three-tier metering system, by linking directly to a facility’s distributed control system (DCS). As a result, there are fewer serial and OPC links to maintain. MeterSuite also uses a single database, contrary to a traditional metering system, further reducing maintenance.

“Accurate metering is extremely important, but it has been difficult due to incompatible metering systems and flow devices,” said Pradyumna Pandit, global business manager Gas Solutions, Honeywell Process Solutions. “MeterSuite solves the problem by incorporating the fiscal metering directly into the DCS, enabling the monitoring, management and reporting requirements necessary in today’s cost-conscious environment in an ‘off-the-shelf’ solution fully supported with installation and maintenance.”
