OWD Water Cut meter for product monitoring in storage tank, oil/water detection

In petrochemistry, in particular in storage tanks, the potential for reducing the operating costs must be fully exhausted. When draining the tank, to protect the environment and prevent losses, the degree of automation must be maintained at a high level.

mipromex® – the detector
The analogue evaluation unit for use in the harsh conditions in the petrochemical industry with the TSS90 tube probe.

Using the TSS90 tube probe for automatically stripping the water in storage tanks saves enormous operating costs. The stripping process can be controlled via the analogue signal in the process control system or directly via the internal limit value. The high-resolution tube probe can even detect small quantities of petrochemical products on the periphery.

Safety for clean water, for the environment’s sake.
Rain water from floating roofs in petrochemical tank warehouses is conducted through the tank directly in moving pipelines. At the tank outlet, the pipeline is used with a TSS90 tube probe in the siphon. This way, the rain water is monitored for oil penetration or leaks.

Why customers rely on the aquasant® OWD watercut probes

No commissioning required, plug & process

Rapid measurement signal

Density independence

Free pipe outlet

Water monitoring of floating roofs in petrochemical storage tanks

Monitoring of petrochemical products on water when unloading

Automatic stripping of water in petrochemical storage tanks

Measurement without sensitivity to contamination

Cost-effective installation

The generalist, MAT, can be used from level measurement to monitoring system and detection. The first and second measurement circuits are equipped with the same functionality. The evaluation electronics not only serves as a feed unit in the 2-wire technology, it also houses the data processing intelligence.

Your benefit: High economic efficiency and investment security due to the long service life.

Universally usable, reduced storage costs
With 1 or 2 measuring inputs
mA output and limit value simulation
Discharge rain water in petrochemical storage tanks
Phase detection with separation behaviour for time and quantity-optimised separation

Ex version: Gas II (2) G [Ex ia Gb] IIC SEV 09 ATEX 0132; EMC STS 024 CE 1254

Documentation

The automation of the separation of two non-mixable fluids can be performed with easy commissioning and limit value settings using the analogue transmitter. The measurement signal process provides a high level of functional safety even during the first separation, saves time and secures investment costs.
