Automatic Metering of Water & Gas Content in Crude Oil
Using Gamma Ray Absorption and Scattering Techniques

Introduction

Many methods are available for measuring the water content in crude oil, such as; sampling distillations, capacitance measurements, radio frequency transmissions, vibration density meters, etc. These methods have some serious shortcomings including lack of durability, measurement cell contamination, and poor precision.

Our Technology

We have designed an automatic metering apparatus for water and gas contents in crude oil. It was designed on the principle of gamma ray absorption and scattering in materials.

Our apparatus contains one low energy gamma ray source and two detectors with a scintillator, which is used to identify gamma transmission and scattering intensity respectively, when gamma rays pass through the crude oil flowing through a pipe.

Technology Features

It is a non-contact technology with the following features:

Wide Measurement range

Remote automated field measurements

High degree of accuracy

Simple installation
