Cost Effective Alternative to Displacer Level Measurements
THE PROBLEM
- Displacer accuracy is dependent on the specific gravity of a fluid. Varying specific gravities and “off spec” product result in significant measurement errors.
- Coating build-up on the displacer body produces errors.
- “Blowdowns” to clean displacer internals and cages is time consuming and expensive.
- Rebuilds due to component wear add significantly to the total cost of ownership.
- Interface measurements are more sensitive to slight specific gravity variances and result in separator throughput lower than the design specification.
THE SOLUTION
- AMETEK Drexelbrook Radio Frequency (RF) Admittance technology eliminates all of the inherent problems with Displacer technology level measurement.
- RF is immune to changes in specific gravity, density, temperature, and pressure.
- Accuracies to 1⁄4 inch of level in short span installations.
- No moving parts to wear, No periodic maintenance.
- Replacement cost differentials covered by eliminating one rebuild.
