In October 2023, the API has issued Errata 1 for API MPMS Chapter 11.2.5, A Simplified Vapor Pressure Correlation for Commercial NGLs, 2nd Edition, December 2020.
The recommended Table 1 change is implemented with QuantityWare BCS 3.0 and available to all QuantityWare BCP and BCG customers.
To support the Energy industries’ extension and transformation, QuantityWare now supports Hydrogen in its BCG product, for which an additional supplement is charged.
The scale of this charge can be found on our Pricing page.
Changes in the Usage Questionnaire supporting this supplement will be released shortly.
ASTM D2962 “Standard Practise for Calculating Volume-Temperature Correction for Coal-Tar Pitches” has been revised and issued as ASTM D2962-23.
QuantityWare has carefully analyzed this new version and confirms that BCP implementations of this standard are compliant with ASTM D2962-23.
The updated online compliance documentation in the PMC will be delivered with the next CSP.
From October 16 to October 20, the QuantityWare BCP certification training took place. The highly interactive BCP training course covers the full capabilities of the QuantityWare BCP product within the BCS solution.
After course completion, all five delegates presented their configuration results to QuantityWare experts. QuantityWare welcomes two BCP certified customer experts and three more BCP certified consultants to our growing BCS network.
The dates for the 2024 trainings are already published on our website (https://www.quantityware.com/our-solution/training-courses/).
ASTM D633 – Standard Correction for Road Tar – has been withdrawn by ASTM in July 2023 without replacement.
This will be reflected in our BCS solution via appropriate documentation of the relevant template conversion groups.
Existing implementations will not be changed; customers utilizing this standard and who need to change their implementation (e.g. due to new commercial or legal requirements) may contact their certified BCP consultants or QuantityWare support directly for advice.
Today QuantityWare has published the Release Notes for the next BCS 3.0 CSP, which will be shipped in Q4 2023. The Release Notes document can be found here.
Today, QuantityWare has released the Advanced Development (AD) for RESOLUÇÃO ANP Nº 894 – 22 / C.N.P. Nº 6 – 70, Tabela I & II, to support the Brazilian industry with this national standard.
This AD has taken six months effort to complete and more than 200 000 table values (available via an initial load activity) have been delivered. Note 000114 contains all details.
A consulting paper with all configuration details is also available for certified BCP consultants, as a basis for solution implementation if usage of this standard is required before the next CSP is released.
We will be present with a stand, along with a long-term trusted QW-certified implementer – Ingenxtec.
We shall be presenting the topic “Alternate Fuels, LNG & Hydrogen – Mastering the Quantity Conversion Challenges of a Diversifying Energy Product Portfolio” in a Microforum on Wednesday 19.04.23 at 10:10.
All details and links to the conference agenda can be found here.
We look forward to seeing you!
This year, QuantityWare is participating at the International SAP Conference for Energy, 18 – 20 April, 2023 – in Basel, Switzerland. We look forward to seeing you there – Hydrogen and LNG quantity conversions are the hot topics for discussion this year.
With RESOLUÇÃO ANP No 894 – 2022, RESOLUÇÃO No 6 – 70 has been revoked, and technically put into force again.
No changes to the 1970 Tables I(1) and II(2) content and description have been made.
Thus, from an implementation point of view, the current Table II solution delivered with BCP 3.0 needs no technical modification.
In order to support density corrections based on Table I as well, QuantityWare plans to deliver an extension of the current Table II implementation within an Advanced Development (AD) in Q2 2023.
Since the now newly reconfirmed national Brazilian standard are the printed table values (as e.g., ASTM D1250-1952 Table 6), a complete validation of the formula based approach against the all table values is required.
See note 000101 and note 000113 for additional details.
