TRACERCO™ Level Gauge
Tracerco offer a range of non-intrusive specialist measurement
instruments to ensure reliable control of the production
process from offshore separators to onshore storage vessels.
Each instrument is tailor designed for the particular application
in order to measure liquid or solid levels such as crude
oil, produced water or sand in a wide range of surface or
subsea vessels.
Incorporation of HART™ technology in the field mounted
detector allows communication via the customer’s DCS
and eliminates the need for safe-area mounted control units.
The TRACERCO™ Level Gauge offers:
- No moving parts, eliminating the potential for mechanical
failure or fouling by debris such as sand or asphaltene.
- No bridle leading to a cost saving and environmental
protection through zero blow down requirements.
- External mounting for easy retrofit or new build installation.
- ‘Real time in vessel’ measurements.
- Design for low maintenance.
- Intrinsic safety for use in zones 0, 1 & 2 Hazardous
Areas.
The TRACERCO™ Level Gauge incorporates many
advanced features to enable accurate
and reliable level detection, including;
- HART™ Digital Interface allowing direct communication
via the customer’s DCS,
- Automatic compensation for radioactive source decay,
- Automatic compensation for changes in vessel operating
pressure,
- Linear, table and logarithmic linearisation options
for level correction,
- Extensive self-checking and diagnostic facilities.
