Magmeters work based upon Faraday’s Law of electro-magnetic induction, where the voltage caused is straight proportional to the speed of the fluid, the electromagnetic field’s strength, and the length of the conductor. In a magmeter, the salted water works as the conductor. Considering that produced water is high in salinity, it improves the electrical conductivity of the water, causing extremely precise measurement.
The non-intrusive style of magmeters allows them to run effectively even in destructive saline water environments, without experiencing deterioration. As an outcome, they offer a cost-efficient and trustworthy option for handling and tracking produced water supply.
Shift from Mechanical Flowmeters
While mechanical flowmeters have actually generally been a typical option for determining produced water, a progressively quick shift towards electro-magnetic flowmeters is happening in brand-new setups and repair/replacement circumstances.
This shift is encouraged by significantly enhanced precision, dependability, durability, and ease-of-maintenance. Electro-magnetic flowmeters use extra abilities such as online diagnostics, and information collection, making them an engaging option. Due to their precision and dependability, they can likewise be utilized for leakage detection.
Precision, Reliability and Ease-of-Maintenance
Electro-magnetic flowmeters are totally electronic, removing the requirement for any moving parts. This makes them much more robust and less vulnerable to use and tear, thus lowering the requirement for regular upkeep and replacement. As an outcome, they have an extremely long life-span. Krohne has magmeters that have actually remained in service for over 25 years, continuing to offer precise circulation measurement of produced water.
Second, electro-magnetic flowmeters provide much better precision compared to their mechanical equivalents. Mechanical flowmeters can be impacted by the viscosity of the fluids they determine, which can cause mistakes. On the other hand, electro-magnetic flowmeters are independent of fluid homes such as viscosity, temperature level, and pressure, using more trusted readings.
Third, magmeters use considerably simpler upkeep compared to mechanical flowmeters. The latter demand regular upkeep, consisting of a yearly check and regular elimination from the line. Internal parts need examination, replacement, and frequently require to be sent out for restoring. Readily available info within the magmeter can likewise be regularly kept an eye on to inform the user of any prospective concerns, such as electrode wear or finishing and even a deterioration of the liner in severe conditions, without needing to take the meter out of service.
Electronic and Smart Capabilities
The intrinsic electronic nature of magmeters makes it possible for the smooth combination of vital, groundbreaking clever performances that are beyond the abilities of mechanical flowmeters.
Drip Detection. Advanced leakage detection is an essential clever function of magmeters that includes considerable worth over mechanical meters. These advanced gadgets can continually keeping an eye on the circulation rate and determining disparities, which can suggest a leakage within the system. By doing so, magmeters can notify operators to even little leakages that may go undetected with less delicate gadgets. When integrated with a fairly easy mass balance system, the magmeters can likewise offer info about the place, level,
