ML Measurement Loop

Accurate oil-water measurement is a function of velocity. In situations with low velocity or inconsistent flow velocities, proper mixing  for accurate measurement is unattainable, making real-time, in-line water-cut metering almost impossible in some applications and difficult in most.  

However, the unique design of the ML Measurement Loop creates a consistent  measurement environment and a constant velocity above 7fps, regardless of application, water concentration, fluid viscosity, or temperature.  This  velocity ensures  fluid homogeneity  and consistent oil/water droplet size ratio, guaranteeing highly  accurate, repeatable measurement with the OWD Oil Water Detector (water-cut meter).

A paper on water content determination in crude oil was presented at the 2011 International School of Hydrocarbon Management.
