Metroval technical
capability and experience
Metroval was formally born in 1988, but its experience in industrial flow meters
manufacturing began in 1981. It was then that its team ini�ated its flow
technical vast learning curve through a technology transfer contract signed
between Bopp & Reuther – Germany and Tecnobras S/A, which was transferred
later to Metroval in 1988. In order to increase its flow meters por�olio, Metroval
signed in 1991 another technology transfer contract with Rheonik Messgerate
GmbH – Germany, being the first Brazilian manufacturer of Coriolis Mass flow
meters. In 2001, Metroval launched the Systems Division, with the focus in the
engineering and supply of Flow Metering Systems for the Oil industry. Our
current products and solu�ons for the Flow Metering Market includes
manufacturing and supply of Posi�ve Displacement Oval Gears Volumetric flow
meters, Coriolis Mass flow meters, High performance Density meters, LPG
Metering Systems, GNC Dispensers, Truck/Wagon/Vessel Loading/Unloading
Systems, Industrial Communica�on Protocols, Dosing Systems, Chemical
Injec�on Systems, High Pressure Gas Metering Systems, and Oil & Gas, Refined
Products, Biofuels Metering Systems complying with Local and Interna�onal
Legal Metrology Standards for Fiscal, Alloca�on, Custody Transfer and
Opera�onal applica�ons. Due to Metroval experience and leadership in the
Brazilian flow metering and control Market, Metroval was awarded during 2003 -
2004 with the local biggest flow metering contract ever: To adapt all exis�ng Oil
& Gas Metering Systems of 14 Petrobras Offshore Pla�orms to the new Brazilian
Metrology Legisla�on (ANP/INMETRO nº 1 and 64 Regula�on). This huge
project mo�vated Metroval to establish a Branch opera�on in Macaé-RJ in order
to be able to perform technical support for this contract and offer flow
measurement systems management services (physical and metrological
maintenance) to Petrobras and other O&G operators.
