EESIFLO International produces instrinsically safe Zone 0 and Zone 1 watercut monitors designed to provide the highest possible sensitivity, resolution, and accuracy for water content determination in crude oil, other hydrocarbons, or other low dielectric liquids from a max of 100% to levels below 1000 parts per million (ppm). In oil and natural gas (condensate) production, watercut measurements are significantly improved with the EASZ-1 technology.
Enhanced digital signal processing and full product temperature compensation are two of the technological advancements utilized by this device. Full bore meter sizes from 1” through 42 ” and a. 4- 20 outputs are available for remote readout. Water cut, process temperature and dielectric values are measured accurately and can be reported back to a control centre.
Product Temperature Compensation
The base dielectric constant (Dk) of oils can change with changes in temperature. This can cause traditional monitors to change without a variance in water content. For example; for a 10°F change, a typical curde oil may show a reading shift of as much as 0.1%, which normally would be considered as water. The EASZ-1 measures product temperature and calculates a corrected cut reading, providing a true watercut at any temperature
