Oil separators
Level and pressure measurement in an oil separator
Level and pressure measurement in an oil separator
Process data
Measuring task:
Pressure, level and interface measurement
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
4 m
Medium:
A mixture consisting of oil, gas, water and sand
Process temperature:
-40 … +150 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +120 bar
Special challenges:
High pressure, high temperatures
Application
The separator vessel contains a mixture of crude oil, gas, water and sand extracted from the subsea well. Precise monitoring of these multiple separation interfaces and emulsions play a vital role in ensuring the quality of the oil separator for separation. Exact control of interfaces, level and pressure allows optimum utilization of the oil separator and increases the effectiveness of the entire asset.
