Joint Industry Project
A joint industry project (JIP) is a route by which the expense of the research and development can be spread over a number of interested parties.
Typically, TUV NEL will initate the JIP and then act as the facilitator and the supplier, carrying out the necessary investigative, development or design work.
Building Networks
TUV NEL has developed an excellent reputation in initiating and managing JIPs. The role requires intimate knowledge of the technology and the industry. It is vital that commercial sensitivities are recognised and conflicting requirements within the members of the JIP can be reconciled.
Independence and Impartiality
The most significant benefit which members gain from a TUV NEL JIP is the independence combined with technical expertise. Since we are not linked to any product, equipment manufactuer or supplier we are able to form an unbiased view on the capabilities and performance of equipment and systems.
JIP Programme
The programme of proposed JIPs is under continual development. Please contact us to make suggestions for future projects and for details of existing projects.

Over the last 20 years, multiphase flow measurement technology has developed dramatically. The JIPs can help accelerate the development of multiphase meters that meet the industry's needs and help unlock future oil production. This new project will address key elements of research such as:

Building on the success of the heavy oil joint industry project, TUV NEL is planning the next stage of research into the challenges of measuring heavy oil. The remaining massive global reserves are classed as "unconventional"; heavy or high viscous oil falls into this category. To develop and ultimately trade in this field, measurement technology has to be developed to cope with the fluids behaviour, temperature effects, viscosity fluctuations and the costly issue of air/gas entrainment. The project will consider further research into the areas of:

CCS is seen as a major contributor to reducing man-made CO2 emissions as part of a secure and sustainable energy supply. Accurate measurement throughout the CCS process will be essential for the operation of CCS schemes. It is expected that measurement uncertainty will be within +/- 1.5% of mass flow. The race is on to find products that can meet stringent criteria:
