16 use cases
Ballast tanks
Oil and Gas Offshore
Floating drilling or pumping assets such as platforms or FPSOs are stabilized by filling or emptying ballast tanks with seawater. This enables operators to critically and safely manage the ballast and...
Flare knockout drum
Oil and Gas Offshore
The unrecoverable residues of oil and gas production are collected in the flare knockout drum and liquefied at high pressure. The recovered liquid, the condensate, collects at the bottom of the vessel...
Hydraulic oil reservoir tank
Oil and Gas Offshore
The hydraulic oil used to transmit power circulates in a closed system. However, it is gradually lost due to lubrication points and leakages in the power equipment. To ensure optimum operation of the...
Mud flow return line
Oil and Gas Offshore
The drilling mud flowing back from the drilling contains large amounts of solids. To avoid clogging in these pipes and the associated damage to the drill head and loss of production, a reliable monito...
Mud tank level
Oil and Gas Offshore
In the mud tanks, agitators or jet nozzles stir and mix the mud to ensure a homogeneous mixture. To enable a continuous process, the level measurement must be reliable and independent of the compositi...
Mud tanks
Oil and Gas Offshore
Prior to, and during pumping into the well, the density of the mud needs continuous monitoring. Density is an important criteria for determining the correct composition of the drilling mud. The correc...
Oil separators
Oil and Gas Offshore
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...
Primary desalter
Oil and Gas Offshore
It is important that a desalter unit runs efficiently to prevent corrosion to downstream equipment. When the crude oil mixes with the emulsifying chemicals and water, the resulting emulsion layer make...
Secondary desalter
Oil and Gas Offshore
To maximize efficiency of the electrostatic grid as it removes contaminants within second and third stage desalters, a crucial point of control is to maintain the oil and water interface just below th...
Shaker
Oil and Gas Offshore
Through the effects of strong vibration in the shaker, the liquid and solid components of the drilling mud returning from the borehole are separated from each other. The drilled rock and the sand are...
Storage tank for liquid raw materials
Oil and Gas Offshore
Oils and alkaline solutions are among the liquid raw materials for the mud mixtures. These additives are stored on the drilling platform in special storage tanks. To ensure the continuous production o...
Storage tank for solid raw materials
Oil and Gas Offshore
The solid raw materials such as gravel, clay, barite, cement and binders are essential for creating the different properties of the drilling mud. These materials are stored for mud production in stora...
Trip tank
Oil and Gas Offshore
The drilling mud flowing back under high pressure from the drilling well is held and monitored in the trip tank. This drilling mud is contaminated with sea water, rocks and sand. In addition to materi...
Wastewater sump (open drain)
Oil and Gas Offshore
Rain run-off on board of oil platforms and ships is polluted with production residues and contaminants such as oil, sand and dirt. The rainwater with these contaminants must be collected in special ta...
Wave and draught height
Oil and Gas Offshore
The height of floating drilling or pumping assets like platforms or FPSOs must be precisely maintained, even in the roughest seas with waves up to 30 m high. Environmental influences such as wind and...
Gas separators (scrubbers)
Oil and Gas Offshore
Extracted natural gas and gas residues from oil production are contaminated with water and are therefore collected in gas separators (scrubbers) for separation. Pressures of up to +150 bar keep the ga...
