Density measurement
In the challenging upstream and heavy oil processes, accurate density measurement is indispensable for reliably distinguishing between oil, water, emulsion and solids like sand, which form layers in process vessels. Radiometric systems enable continuous density monitoring and reliable detection of density differences, even under extreme process conditions and in the presence of thick, multi-layered emulsions. Where other technologies fail, they provide precise level and interface measurements – contactlessly, even through metal tank walls, insulation and heavy buildup. Radiation-based measurement is not affected by pressure, temperature, contamination or viscosity, and thus enables absolutely reliable monitoring as well as maximum process safety and optimisation in the oil and gas industry.
