TRACERCO™ SlugMonitor
Improve separation efficiency, optimise production rates and minimise
unforeseen shutdowns
The measurement and characterisation of
process slugs is critical within the oil and gas
industry. Greater control and suppression of
vapour or liquid slugs means that production
rates are optimised, maintenance costs are
reduced and unforeseen shutdowns are
minimised.
Real Time Slug Characterisation
The TRACERCO™ SlugMonitor is the first non intrusive,
real time gamma transmission based slug characterisation
instrument. Using advanced measurement technology
alongside sophisticated signal processing, Tracerco is
able to offer the most accurate and reliable instrument
capable of characterising process slugs.
The measurement and characterisation of process slugs
enables the presence and frequency to be understood in
order that the process conditions can be changed to
reduce their magnitude and detrimental effect on the
separation train.
Custom Designed
The TRACERCO™ SlugMonitor is a unique, custom
designed system to meet your measurement
requirements. Particularly suited to aggressive process
environments, the instrument is not susceptible to fouling
or heat damage. It can be easily retrofitted and is backed
up by our global service team whose engineers are highly
experienced within the oil and gas industry.
The TRACERCO™ SlugMonitor instrument
can determine:
- Slug velocity;
- Slug size;
- Slug volume;
- Slug frequency;
- Estimated time of arrival.
Benefits of the TRACERCO™ SlugMonitor
- Certified for use in hazardous area zones 1 and 2.
- Real time analysis and historical trending data available.
- Aids separation efficiency.
- Wide operating temperature.
- Clamp on non intrusive solution
