Gas separators (scrubbers)
Level and pressure measurement in the gas separator
Level and pressure measurement in the gas separator
Process data
Measuring task:
Pressure, level and interface measurement
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
4 m
Medium:
Gas/water mixture
Process temperature:
0 … +150 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +160 bar
Special challenges:
High pressure, high temperature
Application
Extracted natural gas and gas residues from oil production are contaminated with water and are therefore collected in gas separators (scrubbers) for separation. Pressures of up to +150 bar keep the gas in the liquid state. Exact pressure and level measurement enable optimal utilization of the gas separator and effective control of the gas drying process. The separation of gas from water is carried out by chemically binding the water to glycol and separating it mechanically. Accurate measurement of the gas/water interface determines the quality of the gas.
