Pressure Reduction and Metering Skid
Skids that reduce CBG pressure and meter the gas delivered into city gas and industrial pipelines.

Metered delivery of CBG into gas networks and pipelines
Where a CBG plant delivers into a city gas network or an industrial pipeline, the gas has to arrive at the network's pressure and be metered on the way in. CRA's pressure reduction and metering skids combine filtration, pressure regulation, safety shut-off and metering on one skid, built to the requirements of the receiving network.

What does a pressure reduction and metering skid do?
A pressure reduction and metering skid takes gas at a higher pressure, brings it down to the pressure of the receiving network and measures the quantity delivered. It protects the network from over-pressure and gives both sides a record of the gas supplied.
How it works
The gas passes through filtration, regulation and metering, with safety devices guarding the network.
The gas is filtered to protect the regulators and the meter.
Regulators bring the gas down to the network pressure.
Safety shut-off and relief protect the network from over-pressure.
The meter measures the gas delivered into the network.
The gas enters the city gas network or the industrial pipeline.
Key Benefits
Regulators bring the gas to the pressure the receiving network needs.
The skid meters the gas delivered into the network.
Safety shut-off and relief protect the network from over-pressure.
Each skid follows the requirements of the receiving network operator.
Filtration, regulation, safety and metering come packaged together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the skid include?
It includes filtration, pressure regulation, safety shut-off and relief, and metering, packaged on one skid.
Can the skid take gas from cascades?
Yes. CRA designs the skid for the inlet pressure range, including decompression from CBG cascades.
Does the skid follow the network operator's rules?
Yes. CRA builds each skid to the requirements of the receiving network operator.
What data does CRA need for an offer?
CRA needs the gas flow range, the inlet and outlet pressures, the network operator's requirements and the site conditions.
Does CRA supply custody transfer metering as well?
Yes. CRA supplies custody transfer metering skids for gas sold under contract.
