Applications






OIL PRODUCTS FLOWMETERING
Speed of sound measurement with interface detector


These applications have made essential external probes for obvious reasons : insensibility to pressure, available installation, integrity of transportation under the authority of the Customs, no risk of leak.

Safety in hasardous area is treated to suit your convenience with a converter on site (Minisonic EXD) or in safe area, therefore with long or short cables (up to 300m), and certified probes Ex'm' indeed 'me', 'md' or in 'i' intrinsic safety via our ultrasafe barriers.

The physical complementary parameters as the speed of sound, or amplification can also be transmitted (RS link) to give information on the on-line product quality, on its density or composition, or finally to detect gas phases or water separators.





 
Our ordinary applications are concerning by :

- the technical measurements on pipelines networks, without commercial counting : dispatch or delivery, regulation, line balance, dividing up on nodes, and this in multi-products with pipelines from 6'' to 32''.

- the measurements on storage parks, with the follow up of the movements from or towards the tankers (picture above) or the pipelines and especially the controlling of pumping stations as in CIM-le Havre (right-above picture)
- The measurements for samplers monitoring during the delivery of crude petroleum, the measurement can be made just after the unloading installations, with a pipeline of 56''.

- The measurements of the delivery of warm or refrigered LPG (butane or propane) with a gas detection function, transmitted to the commercial counting installations.

- The conditioning or mixing on-line measurements as the elaboration of the LPG or the liquefaction before cracking of the bituminous crude petroleum (Total-Elf-Fina)





 
- The monitoring of additives products as the Mercaptan (THT) or the furfurol for the downgraded diesel oil. These measurements are made via specific spools in view of low outputs.   - In a less ordinary but as outstanding way, we can provide multichords systems for skids when the transactional certification is not required.
