R&D contract with Fraunhofer IKTS Unproven Concept
We have developed accurate non-intrusive technology for separator level measurement based on Guided Ultrasonic Waves. Our sensors detect liquids and solids level. Measurement of emulsion and foam interface layers is under development.
Our prototype has undergone extensive lab/pilot testing and is ready for field testing offshore!
Based on 20 years of applied research at Fraunhofer IKTS and an innovation challange by Equinor.
Non-intrusive, based on Guided Ultrasonic Waves
No radioactive source
Fast and accurate measurement
No downtime during installation and testing
Scalable for different vessel geometries
Measurement of solids, oil and water levels
Detection of foam and emulsions (under development)
Potential added value: integrity monitoring (corrosion, wall thickness, cracks)
