Case Study: Oil-Water Interface Detector Maintenance-free oil-water interface detection monitoring for separation efficiency A well site required a reliable, low-maintenance oil-water interface detector to monitor the interface level in a crude tank. Crude oil is temporarily stored in tanks onsite before being transported to the refinery for processing. Crude oil extracted from the oil wells […]

Oil Water Interface Level Detection Overview In the extraction of petroleum by hydraulic fracturing, oil flows to the well emulsified with fracturing water. As part of the extraction operation, oil and water are separated at the well site. Separation also occurs at the refinery, where crude oil from the well site contains water that must

Application Problem: Oil-water interface was measured using a contact method based on Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR). The sensing rod had to be cleaned off crude oil buildup. Application History: All contact methods always require frequent maintenance. Solution: ABM non-contact radar interface detector solved the problems, it is maintenance-free, and it measures the top of oil
