The INVALCO Model 4728 Water Cut Monitor, in conjunction with a Model 4528 Detector and a Model CX-645 Capacitance Probe is a continuous on-line monitor or percent water in a flowing crude oil emulsion stream. This unit displays percent of water in various ranges from 0-5% up to and including 0-20% on a digital LCD indicator. In addition, the Model 4728 provides a 4-20 mA analog output proportional to input range, and a field-adjusted, time-delayed, limit relay for valve control or alarming.
Overview
Features
- Real-time display and retransmission of water cut monitor: Allows quick response to upset conditions for downstream controls.
- Adjustable delay of relay closure: Prevents nuisance alarms and “actuator overload”.
- Direct analog output from model 4528 detector: A 4-20 mA signal is available from the probe without the need to include the Model 4728 monitor.
- NACE adaptable: Can be modified for use in NACE applications.
Applications
LACT (Lease Automatic Custody Transfer) Units
Detect and provide relay contact closure that can be used to reroute oil that has excess water cut.
Pipeline Loading
Monitor transfer of petroleum/condensate products from loading facilities.
Dehydration Equipment
Determine and enhance equipment efficiencies, by monitoring the product and indicating water content.
Fuel Oil Monitoring
Determine contamination of fuel oil by condensation, or other external factors, before entry to engine.
Storage and Treating Facilities
Monitoring and early detection of undesirable conditions as well as interface detection during dewatering of storage tanks.
