APPLICATION EXAMPLES

oil in water detector

EXP & GPP UK North Sea – Installed in 2020
Leak detection at an offshore wind farm substation.
The application involves monitoring leak detection on board an underwater wind farm substation. Possible leaks are mainly from diesel fuel, which could potentially be blown overboard by storm runoff. Therefore, a treatment and measurement system is necessary to prevent uncontrolled release. The substation is unmanned and service/inspection intervals are sporadic, so it was decided (based in part on
previous experience) that an OIW analyzer with laser-induced fluorescence and ultrasonic cleaning was necessary to provide reliable results without the need for human intervention.
GPP (General Purpose Probe) EXP-1 (Explosion Proof Probe).

GPP Onshore Argentina – Installed in 2019
Enhancing Oil Recovery with Polymers
The end user uses polymers to increase the efficiency of oil recovery. Polymers require a large amount of water to hydrate the polymer before it is injected into the tank, and this is where production water is used for hydration. One of the main quality controls for production water is that the oil content should be <40 ppm (parts per million); A general purpose probe (GPP) is used at each site to monitor the oil content of the production water prior to mixing with the polymer and is set to alarm if the concentration exceeds 40 ppm.

EXP-2 Norway – Installed in January 2021

Production water measurement

The EXP-2 device was installed on a jack-up drilling platform that had been modified for crude oil processing. The operator was concerned about the potential high maintenance requirements that had previously occurred and was looking for an oil-in-water analyzer that could eliminate such requirements. The EXP-2 was selected and shipped with a DB&B extraction tool (for safe insertion/extraction) under process conditions. The main reasons for choosing EXP-2 are:

a) Dual laser function ensuring continuous operation, unlike other systems where the analyzer is taken out of service in the event of a laser failure until a new laser is installed during the next service visit.

b) RapidWave ultrasonic cleaning capability that helps eliminate service interruptions by maintaining a completely clean window for continuous/accurate measurements.
