Oil & gas industry
Oil and petroleum product production, storage and transport sites take measurements in hazardous areas, in contact with aggressive and volatile media. RETTAR's non-contact radar technology delivers accurate custody-transfer measurement without putting staff or equipment at risk.
Typical applications and solutions
Petroleum product level control in storage tanks
Continuous level monitoring in vertical steel tanks provides accurate inventory accounting and prevents overflow during receipt and dispatch.
Measurement challenges
Hydrocarbon vapors, surface foam, explosion-protection requirements.
Solution
CFR6400 integrated radar level meter for liquids
Oil/water interface control in separators
Precisely locating the phase boundary in separation units enables efficient produced-water discharge management without losing crude oil.
Measurement challenges
Variable emulsion density, probe fouling, aggressive medium.
Solution
SLD1100 interface level meter + electromagnetic flowmeter
Crude oil and petroleum product flow accounting at custody-transfer stations
Accurate metering of petroleum product transfer between tanks and into pipelines is required for commercial settlement between supplier and buyer.
Measurement challenges
High accuracy requirements, hazardous area, medium viscosity.
Solution
Electromagnetic flowmeter
High-level alarm in drainage tanks and sludge pits
Emergency overflow alarms on drainage tanks and sludge pits help prevent spills and environmental damage.
Measurement challenges
Aggressive vapors, sensor icing in winter, remote site locations.
Solution
Microwave point level switch
