A quick calculation using the Smith Meters volume indicators shows that the amount of oil that passed through this LACT skid in one year exceeded one billion dollars in value. Relying on Zelentech meters for this high-value custody transfer station is what we call trust.
The excellent results achieved during the trial provided viable proof that the ZT-100 is a strong option for Gulf Coast operators. The instrument was sold, supported, and serviced by the Zelentech USA office in Houma, Louisiana.
Gulf Coast Operations
From the Houma office, Zelentech served not only the busy Gulf region — with its spider web of pipelines and numerous refineries — but also operators across all parts of the United States.
With manufacturing capability in Louisiana, components could be produced locally, avoiding the expensive freight involved in shipping heavy units from Singapore. The large proving skid available at the Houma facility enabled training and demonstrations for American customers, with both the F-Series and T-Series available in the measurement skid.
