Continuous in-line and online Oil-in-Water analyzing!

Operating principle

The Mirmorax Oil-in-Water analyzer is based on an ultrasonic measurement technique in which individual acoustic echoes are characterized using advanced signal processing.

A highly focused acoustic signal is transmitted directly into the produced water flow. The reflection and absorption of the signal provides a wide range of accurate measurements.

In the focal region, individual solids, oil droplets and gas bubbles will reflect the acoustic energy and each reflected signal will hold particle specific information. Based on a large number of direct measurements, the monitor calculates mean particle size for oil and sand. The size distributions, and also the number of particles are used to calculate corresponding concentration values.

Important process information as salinity and temperature are measured and and presented in the Oil-in-Water graphical user interface. The analyzer performs self-diagnosing and auto calibration.

Model features

The new Mirmorax Oil-in-Water analyzer is 3rd generation ultrasonic analyzer. Model LR2500 is specially developed to manage the lower range, 0-2500 ppm of oil and particles with highest accuracy and at the same time deliver classification of particles and size distribution. This is especially suitable for discharge and water treatment applications, where knowledge on this is essential for reducing ppm levels and optimizing the separation process.

The analyzer can be provided with an automatic cleaning system to ensure clean ultrasonic transducer and reflector at all time. This is recommended for concentrations above 100 ppm, and alsp for black oil.

Design

The Mirmorax Oil-in-Water analyzer consists of a Probe, which have an insertion design and a high performance signal processing and communication electronics, SPCE. Cable length can be adjusted on request. The SPCE comes in both safe area (19” rack module) and an EX classification Zone 1 area version.
