Eclipse Model 705 for industrial applications


The Enhanced Eclipse Model 705 Transmitter is a looppowered, 24 VDC liquid-level transmitter based on the revolutionary of technology on Guided Wave Radar (GWR).

Encompassing a number of significant engineering accomplishments,  Eclipse Model 705 is designed to provide measurement performance well beyond that of many traditional technologies, as well as "through-air" radar.

About Eclipse Model 705, the innovative enclosure is a first in the industry, orienting dual compartments (wiring and electronics) in the same plane, and angled to maximize ease of wiring, configuration, and data display. One universal transmitter can be used with all probe types and offers enhanced reliability for use in SIL 2/SIL 3 hardware systems. ECLIPSE supports the FDT/DTM standard and, with the PACTware™ Frame Program, allows for additional configuration and trending flexibility

Technology of Eclipse Model 705 for industrial applications
OVERALL LEVEL

The Eclipse Model 705 Guided Wave Radar is based upon the technology of TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry). TDR utilizes pulses of electromagnetic energy transmitted down a wave guide (probe). When a pulse reaches a liquid surface that has a higher dielectric constant than the air (εr of 1) in which it is traveling,the pulse is reflected. The transit time of the pulse is then measured via ultra speed timing circuitry that provides an accurate measure of the liquid level.


INTERFACE LEVEL
The Eclipse Model 705 is capable of measuring both an upper liquid level and an interface liquid level. Even after the pulse is reflected from the upper surface, some of the energy continues down the GWR probe through the upper liquid. The pulse is again reflected when it reaches the higher dielectric lower liquid. It is required that the upper liquid has a dielectric constant between 1.4 and 5,and the lower liquid has a dielectric constant greater than 15. A typical application would be oil over water, with the upper layer of oil being non-conductive (εr ≈ 2.0),and the lower layer of water being very conductive (εr ≈ 80). The thickness of the upper layer must be > 2″(50 mm). The maximum upper layer is limited to the length of the GWR probe, which is available in lengths up to 40 feet (12 meters).


EMULSION LAYERS
As emulsion (rag) layers can decrease the strength of the reflected signal, the ECLIPSE Model 705 is recommended for applications that have clean, distinct layers. The ECLIPSE Model 705 will tend to detect the top of the emulsion layer. Contact the factory for application assistance regarding emulsion layers.

Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter


The Eclipse Model 700 Transmitter is a loop-powered, 24 VDC level transmitter that is based upon the proven and accepted technology of Guided Wave Radar (GWR).Encompassing a number of significant engineering accomplishments, this leading edge level transmitter is designed to provide measurement performance well beyond that of many of the more traditional technologies.

This single transmitter can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging from very light hydrocarbons to water-based media. One universal Model 700 transmitter can be used and interchanged with several different probe types and offers enhanced reliability as it is certified for use in critical SIL 2/3 hardware safety loops.The ECLIPSE Model 700 supports both the FDT/DTM and Enhanced DD (EDDL) standards, which allow viewing of valuable configuration and diagnostic information such as the echo curve in tools such as PACTware ™, AMS Device Manager, and various HART® Field Communicators.

Technology of Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

ECLIPSE Guided Wave Radar is based upon the technology of TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry). TDR utilizes pulses of electromagnetic energy transmitted down a wave guide(probe). When a pulse reaches a surface that has a higher dielectric constant than the air (εr = 1) in which it is traveling, a portion of the pulse is reflected. The transit time of the pulse is then measured via high speed timing circuitry that provides an accurate measure of the liquid (or solids) level. The amplitude of the reflection depends on the dielectric constant of the product. The higher thedielectric constant, the larger is the reflection.


INTERFACE MEASUREMENT
The ECLIPSE Model 700 is capable of measuring both an upper liquid level and an interface liquid level. As only a portion of the pulse is reflected from a low dielectric upper surface, some of the transmitted energy continues down the GWR probe through the upper liquid. The remaining initial pulse is again reflected when it reaches the higher dielectric lower liquid. It is required that the upper liquid has a dielectric constant less than 10, and the lower liquid has a dielectric constant greater than 15. A typical interface application would be oil over water, with the upper layer of oil being non-conductive (εr ≈ 2.0), and the lower layer of water being very conductive (εr ≈ 80). The thickness of the upper layer could be as small as 2″ (50 mm) while the maximum upper layer is limited to the length of the GWR probe.

Advanced Apura Gas Separation Membrane


To meet pipelines tranmission specifications, gas processing operations treat or condition produced gas that contains acid gases. Theses acid gases need to be removed because they lower the heating vale of natural gas and accelerate the corrosion of pipelines and transmission control equipment. Apura Gas Separation Membrane from Fujifilm demontrated excellent CO2 and H2S seperation capabilities and proved to recover more hydrocarbons compared with traditional spiral-wound membranes

Overview – Apura Gas Separation Membrane
No chemical usage and >30% more recovery of saleable hydrocarbons
The Apura gas separation membrane is a durable, spiral-wound, multilayer composite membrane. It is ideally suited to seamlessly replace traditional cellulose acetate (CA) spiral-wound elements for acid gas removal to meet pipeline transmission specifications.
Apura membranes are designed for use in high-pressure, medium- to low-CO2 applications for bulk and fine removal of contaminants such as water, CO2, and H2S. The smaller ecological footprint—reduced power consumption and zero chemical requirements—provides substantial savings on total cost of ownership and releases fewer emissions compared with amine systems.

Advantages
          - Increases recovery of saleable hydrocarbons by 30% or more compared with traditional CA spiral-wound membranes
          - Extends membrane life up to 40% in water-rich conditions
          - Enables simple plug-and-play replacement of CA spiral-wound membranes
          - Releases fewer emissions than amine systems
          - Eliminates chemical requirements
          - Reduces power requirements

Application of Apura Gas Separation Membrane
Feed gas enters from the side of the spiral-wound Apura membrane, enabling smaller molecules, such as CO2 and H2S, to pass through the multiple layers in a crossflow manner. They then enter the central perforated tube at lower pressure. The high-pressure nonpermeate gasstream, rich in hydrocarbons and depleted of CO2, flows to the next section of membrane modules to repeat this process until the necessary product gas specifications are met. The low-pressure CO2-rich permeate stream is collected in the central perforated tube and routed to the desired location as a wastestream. Apura membranes are available in 8-in and 8.25-in diameters.

Amine gas treating system with field-proven


Hydrogen sulfide, Carbon dioxide,and other contaminations are often found in natural gas streams. Amine gas treating systems remove these contaminations so that the gas is suitable for transportation and use.

Overview – Amine gas treating systems
Prepare natural gas for commercialization

Custom and standard Amine gas treating systems remove CO2 and H2S, resulting in gas with <2-mol% CO2 and <4-ppm H2S. Efficiently removing CO2, H2S, and mercaptans makes the gas suitable for transportation and use.

The amine plant can be installed as a stand-alone component or as a part of an integrated processing system. We can custom engineer solutions for amine recirculation rates above 700 galUS/min [2.64 m3/min], and we offer five standardized designs for rates below 700 galUS/min. Years of gas sweetening expertise is built into the design and engineering of our standardized gas plants. So you can expect to achieve performance comparable to a custom-designed sweetening plant.

Amine treating advantages
       - Various heat sources (direct-fired, waste heat, hot oil, and steam systems) can be used for the still reboiler.
       - Customized plants can be designed to customer specification while maintaining fast delivery.
       - Our amine systems can meet required CO2 and H2S levels operating with multiple solvent types and recirculation rates.
       - Standard system designs reduce manufacturing and commissioning times.
       - Amine systems are easily combined with other technologies into hybrid systems for many sizes of gas sweetening projects.

Application of Amine gas treating systems
Amine sweetening process as following:

1. Sour gas enters the contactor tower and rises through the descending amine solution.
2. Purified gas flows from the top of the tower.
3. The amine solution, carrying absorbed acid gases, leaves the tower for the heat exchanger or optional flash tank.
4. Rich amine is heated by hot regenerated lean amine in the heat exchanger.
5 Rich amine is further heated in the regeneration still column, by heat supplied from the reboiler.
6. Steam and acid gases separated from the rich amine are condensed and cooled, respectively, in the reflux condenser.
7. Condensed steam is separated in the reflux accumulator and returned to the still. Acid gases may be vented, incinerated, or directed to a sulfur recovery system.
8. Hot regenerated lean amine is cooled in a solvent aerial cooler and circulated to the contactor tower, completing the cycle.
9. A variety of heat sources can be used for the still reboiler—direct fired, waste heat, hot oil, and steam systems.

Leveraging a globally installed based on both onshore and offshore facilities, the technologies ensure that peak separation is achieved in the most cost-effective and space efficient manner.

Overview – Cyclotech B Series Deoiling hydrocyclone
Balancing efficiency and throughput capacity in a reliable, wear-resistant separation solution


Deoiling hydrocyclone technologies represent the state of the art in produced water treatment, optimizing the critical balance between oil-removal efficiency and throughput capacity. Achieving this balance yields peak separation in the most cost-effective and space-efficient manner. These technologies have a global track record in onshore and offshore facilities.

CYCLOTECH Cyclonic Separation Technologies

Having no moving parts, CYCLOTECH B Series hydrocyclone technologies achieve liquid-liquid separation using a pressure drop across the unit. Their liners are manufactured from a range of wear-resistant materials, including tungsten carbide or reaction-bonded silicon carbide. An advanced ceramic that extends wear life up to 10 times beyond a standard duplex stainless steel liner is also available.

B Series technologies treat waterstreams containing up to 2,000 mg/L of oil to meet a discharge-water oil content of 30 mg/L—or more commonly, stretch targets as low as 15 mg/L.

With special features
        - Improved reliability – Use of no moving parts and wear-resistant materials
        - Smaller footprint – Compact design uses less space
        - More efficiency – Retrofit capability increases capacity and separation performance

CYCLOTECH Cyclonic Separation Technologies

Application of Cyclotech B Series Deoiling hydrocyclone
Operating with no moving parts, B Series technologies achieve liquid-liquid separation using a pressure drop across the unit. Oily water is forced under pressure into the inlet section of the liner via a tangential inlet port. This pressure, together with narrow cyclone diameter, causes the fluid to spin at high velocity, creating a high gradial acceleration field. Oil, the less-dense liquid, is forced to the axial center of the hydrocyclone to form a thin oil core. Through internal hydrodynamic forces and external differential pressure control, this oil core is removed via the reject ports of the hydrocyclone liners; the clean water flow is discharged from the cyclone underflow.

Glycol Dehydration Systems for water removal



Schlumberger Glycol dehydration systems remove water vapor from natural gas, which helps prevent hydrate formation and corrosion and maximixes piplines efficiency.

Overview –  Glycol dehydration systems
Efficient removal of water and impurities from natural gas streams

Our triethylene glycol dehydration system is among the most widely used in the oil and gas industry because of low operating costs and relatively low capex. Glycol dehydration systems are not only efficient at removing water from a natural gas stream, they also remove benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) as well as other volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

In natural gas systems, removing water vapor reduces pipeline corrosion and eliminates line blockage caused by hydrate formation. The water dewpoint needs to be below the lowest pipeline temperature to prevent free-water formation.

Using amine treatment to remove acid gases results in water-saturated gas that must be dehydrated before entering the pipeline. Most product specifications require the maximum quantity of water in the gas to be 4 to 7 lbm/MMcf.

Advantages
         - Suitable for a wide range of flow, pressure, and temperature conditions
         - Lower operating costs than conventional desiccants
         - Lower capex than solid bed systems
         - Custom and standard units, which can employ either bubble cap or structured packing
         - Reduced manufacturing and commissioning times for standard system designs
         - Easily packaged hybrid systems (amine packaged with glycol dehydration systems) for small to large gas sweetening requirements

Application of  Glycol dehydration systems
In our glycol dehydration system, wet gas enters a tower at the bottom and flows upward. Dry glycol flows down the tower from the top, from tray to tray or through packing material.


Our special bubble cap configuration maximizes gas-glycol contact, removing water to levels below 5 lbm/MMcf. Advanced systems can be designed to achieve levels less than 1 lbm/MMcf.


The dehydrated gas leaves the tower at the top and returns to the pipeline or goes to other processing units. The water-rich glycol leaves the tower at the bottom and goes to the reconcentration system, where it is filtered to remove impurities and heated to 400 degF [204 degC]. Water escapes as steam, and the purified glycol returns to the tower where it again contacts wet gas.

The entire system operates unattended. Controllers monitor pressures, temperatures, and other aspects of the system to maximize safety and efficiency.

PUREMEG Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation and regeneration system


Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation is widely used by the oil and gas markets in wellheads and pipelines to prevent hydrate formation at pipeline conditions. In offshore deepwater gas production facilities, where the exposure to lower temperatures in subsea pipelines is common , MEG is used for hydrate inhibition.

Overview –  PUREMEG Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation and regeneration system
Minimize MEG deterioration and losses and reduce operating and environmental costs

Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation is one of the most commonly used reagents for hydrate inhibition in production pipelines. It is recovered and reinjected to minimize the operating and environmental costs associated with MEG replacement and disposal.

PUREMEG MEG reclamation and regeneration systems not only regenerate the MEG by boiling off the pipeline water, they also remove salts and other solids to achieve the required outlet glycol purity. Dissolved salts in formation water, pipeline production chemicals, and pipe scale all have the potential to scale or foul both subsea and topside processing equipment. This MEG recovery system is an essential component of pipeline flow assurance.

Improve operational efficiency, increase plant availability, and maintain asset integrity
In addition to our reclamation technology, we provide everything from customized site support contracts covering training, installation, commissioning, and startup to long-term operational assistance, data acquisition, conditional monitoring, and predictive maintenance services.


PUREMEG Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation and regeneration system

Advantages
      - The system provides effective and proven salt removal.
      - Low solids levels in the recycle loop protect the most expensive and vulnerable parts of the system from abrasion, erosion, and fouling, which reduces maintenance and increases plant availability.
      - Low solids levels in the recycle loop protect the most expensive and vulnerable parts of the system from abrasion, erosion, and fouling, which reduces maintenance and increases plant availability.
      - The technology significantly reduces Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation losses and produces a wastestream suitable for marine disposal by separating salt from brine.
      - Solids removal is achieved without the use of centrifuges, unlike other systems on the market. This avoids use of expensive, high-maintenance equipment and prevents oxygen contamination of the Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation. Oxygen is a main contributor to MEG degradation and material corrosion within reclamation systems, affecting both opex and the life of the plant.
      - The MEG reboiler is designed to avoid hydrocarbon foaming and the fouling of packing associated with conventional systems.
      - The proprietary divalent salt removal system is capable of handling a diverse range of water chemistries, solids loadings, and particle-size distributions.
      - The dedicated reaction vessel optimizes crystal growth in the precipitation of divalent salts. Crystal size and shape directly influence the performance of downstream separation and drying processes.
     - A wash step is included as part of the divalent salt removal system, enabling MEG recovery and reducing opex; the salt discharge can be dried for easier handling and disposal


Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Reclamation & Regeneration

Five-step process to regenerate MEG and remove salts
The PUREMEG system is configured with either a full-stream or slipstream process. Full stream both regenerates and removes salts from the rich MEG feed. Slipstream has full-feed MEG regeneration, with a portion of the lean of Monoethylene glycol (MEG) reclamation. Our experts can advise you which option best suits your process requirements. In either case, the process comprises five steps: pretreatment, MEG regeneration, flash separation, salt management, and divalent salt removal.

1) Pretreatment
In the pretreatment stage, the rich MEG—containing some dissolved gas and hydrocarbon liquids—is heated and passed through a three-phase separator vessel. The gas is flashed to flare and liquid hydrocarbons are sent to the condensate recovery system. The treated MEG is sent either to storage or the downstream process.

2) MEG regeneration
MEG regeneration is conducted in a reflux distillation column. For a slipstream process, the column operates off the low-pressure flare backpressure and is provided with a pump-around heating loop. For a full-stream system, the distillation column operates under vacuum conditions.

The lean MEG produced at the bottom of the column is pumped to storage for reuse. For the slipstream service, a portion of the lean MEG is sent for reclamation. The vaporized water passes overhead where it is condensed and collected in the reflux drum. A portion of the water is returned to the distillation column to provide reflux while the remainder is routed to water treatment. Residual hydrocarbons in the system are generally associated with this produced water stream, and we provide a wide range of water treatment systems capable of meeting local environmental legislation for discharge.

3) Flash separation (reclaimer)
In the flash separator, the rich MEG stream (full-stream reclamation) or lean MEG stream (slipstream reclamation), consisting of water and MEG with dissolved salts, is brought into contact with a hot recycled stream of concentrated MEG. The flash separator operates under vacuum conditions to maintain process temperatures below the degradation temperature of MEG. The feed MEG and water are vaporized and exit through the top of the flash separator. These vapors either pass to the MEG distillation column for regeneration (full-stream service) or are condensed and sent to lean MEG storage (slipstream service). The monovalent salt components, primarily sodium chloride, precipitate in the flash separator. They fall via gravity through a column of brine and are collected in the brine-filled salt tank.

4) Salt management
The salt tank serves two primary functions. The first is to condition the salt levels for optimal performance of the salt separation process. The second is to provide a surplus of salt for converting freshwater makeup to saturated brine. Salt is removed from the brine by a hydrocyclone to produce a slurry suitable for a landfill or for redissolving for marine disposal.

5) Divalent salt removal
Divalent salts (typically calcium, magnesium, and iron but also barium and strontium) cannot be precipitated out in the flash separator. Instead they accumulate in the process, which has an impact on system operability. For a slipstream process, the salts are often a cause of scaling within the reboiler. Removing the salts by MEG blowdown can be cost-prohibitive once disposal and replenishment costs are considered.

The divalent salt removal system precipitates out the salts by chemical reaction to form insoluble salts. Crystal size and shape directly influence the performance of the downstream filter. A dedicated reactor vessel is provided to control the temperature, time, and concentration for optimal crystal growth and morphology. Both sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide are used for the chemical reaction to account for variations in feed conditions. The crystals, together with any other solids such as pipe scale and sand, are removed by filtration. Typically a dynamic crossflow filter is used for this service because of its tolerance for a wide range of particle sizes and distribution. The filter produces a clean MEG stream, which is returned to the process, and a concentrated slurry or cake, which is washed to recover any residual MEG. The produced slurry or cake can be further dried to provide a waste product that is easy to store and handle.

What is LNG Storage Tank? and what it's used for?

In the shipping sector, liquefied natural gas (LNG) has firmly established itself as the fuel of choice for the future, according to a wide range of participants. Despite this upbeat outlook, one of the most significant barriers to switching to natural gas is the expensive initial investment required for LNG storage facilities. Supplier is continuing to investigate innovative ways of integrating technology in order to provide cost-effective storage solutions for gas-fueled boats of any size and LNG installed volume, regardless of their fuel source.

Shipping is a truly global business with fierce competition on an ongoing basis. Increased public pressure to reduce the sector's environmental effect only serves to increase customers' desire to lower their expenses. In order to save money and stay one step ahead of the competition, it may be necessary to implement innovative new solutions or repurpose existing technology from other industries. The latter method is often less complicated, involves less risks, and results in a shorter time to market. The evaluation of current technologies and their cost drivers, as a consequence, may aid in the creation of strategies for overcoming implementation roadblocks. Of course, each Supplier solution takes into account the unique needs of each customer, but this research outlines a few of the ways in which Supplier may help more customers in realizing the environmental and economic benefits of LNG.

Installations and equipment for liquefied natural gas – EN 1473
Cryogenic Liquid Vacuum Storage Tank

Euronorm It is the European standard EN 1473 Installation and equipment for liquefied natural gas, which serves as the overarching document for the design, building, and operation of all onshore LNG facilities. It includes installations for liquefaction and regasification, as well as storage facilities, which are often referred to as tanks in the industry. Environment compatibility, safety needs, risk assessments, and safety engineering are all addressed in detail in EN 1473, which specifies terminology and imposes standards to be taken into consideration throughout the design process. These LNG facilities are specified in detail in the standard and in Annex G: – LNG export terminal; – LNG receiving terminal; – LNG peak-shaving plants; and – LNG satellite plants.

Some parts of this standard have a direct impact on the design and construction of concrete tanks, while others have a less direct impact. This includes suggestions on how to evaluate safety and environmental compatibility, which are included in Chapter 4, for example. A thorough environmental impact assessment (EIA) must be carried out after the site has been determined. It is necessary to do this evaluation in order to determine the total amount of solids, liquids, and gases released by the facility during both regular operation and accidents. It is essential that plants be built in such a manner that gas is not constantly flared or vented, but is instead recovered to the greatest extent feasible, and that hazards to persons and property both within and outside the facility are minimized to a level that is widely considered acceptable. The study of the site may provide load scenarios that are important for the design, such as tsunamis or blast pressure waves,amongst other possibilities. It is necessary to include information on the existence of karst, gypsum and swelling clays in geological and tectonic soil surveys, as well as the susceptibility of the soil to liquefaction, the physical formation process, and the possibility for seismic activity in the future.

When constructing an LNG plant, it is necessary to do a risk assessment. The guidance in Annexes I, J, and K (which are given only for informational reasons) pertains to establishing frequency ranges, classes of consequence, degrees of risk, and acceptance criteria, among other things. A risk category is given to the plant based on a study of frequency ranges and consequence classes, and the plant is assigned to one of three risk categories. If the risk is acceptable, it must be lowered to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP), if it is unacceptable, it falls into one of the categories listed above. In the annexes, the values specified are minimum requirements that may be increased by national laws or project specifications.

When doing a hazard and operation study (HAZOP), risk assessment is often included, but other methods are also allowed, such as failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), event tree method (ETM), and fault tree method (FTM). It is necessary to categorize plant systems and components based on their relevance to safety within the scope of the risk assessment. Here, there is a division into two categories: class A, which includes systems that are critical to plant safety or protection systems that must be kept operational to ensure a minimum level of safety; and class B, which includes systems that perform functions that are critical to plant operation or systems whose failure could result in a major impact on the environment or create an additional hazard.

Sections 6.3 and 6.4 are particularly important for the design of concrete storage tanks, respectively. Section 6.3 and Annex H include specifics and illustrations of the different tank types, information that is complemented by the more comprehensive requirements of EN 14620 Part 1 (European Standard for Pressure Vessels). Because it covers spherical tanks as well as concrete tanks with both the main and secondary containers constructed of prestressed concrete, EN 1473 goes farther than EN 14620 in terms of the information that it provides. 6.4 defines design principles, which include criteria for fluid-tightness, maximum and minimum pressures, tank connections, thermal insulation, instrumentation, heating, and liquid level restrictions, among other things. These principles allow for the development of design criteria for the architecture of the facility, the minimum distance between tanks, and the consideration of potential sources of danger such as fire or blast pressure wave, among other things.

Construction of LNG Tanks – EN 14620 The European Standard EN 14620, which specifies the design and manufacture of site-built vertical, cylindrical, flat-bottomed steel tanks for the storage of refrigerated, liquefied gases with operating temperatures ranging from zero degrees Celsius to one hundred and sixty degrees Celsius, is divided into five parts:

Part 1: Overarching Concepts
Part 2: Components made of metal
Part 3: Components made of concrete
Part 4: Components of the insulation
Part 5: Testing, drying, purging, and cooling-down procedures.

Types of LNG Storage Tanks

Type of LNG tanks

Liquefied gas storage tanks are classified according to their kind and size according to a variety of standards and rules that vary in terms of when they were issued as well as the amount of information they provide. The two German standards, DIN EN 1473 and DIN EN 14620, are even diametrically opposed in terms of the language they use. This section will make use of either the terminology found in the British counterpart, BS EN 1473, or the terms found in API 625. BS EN 1473 is the British equivalent of API 625. From a practical standpoint, the term "containment tank system," as used in API 625, seems to be the most suitable, since the many, but coordinated, components work together to form a cohesive system as a result of their interaction. According to the standards EEMUA, BS 7777, EN 1473, EN 14620- 1, NFPA 59A, and API 625, containment tank systems may be classified as single, double, or complete containment tank systems. There is one additional tank type that is described in more depth in the European standards EN 1473 and EN 14620, and that is the membrane tank.

Until the 1970s, the only kind of tank that was constructed was the single-wall tank. It was the hazard scenarios resulting from abnormal actions such as failure of the inner tank, fire, blast pressure wave, and impact that inspired the subsequent further development of the various types of tanks or tank systems, and the associated requirements placed on the materials and construction details. Because of the dangers that a tank failure poses to the surrounding regions, it is essential to choose the appropriate kind of tank system.

It will be shown, using the failure of the inner container, the consequences of such a failure on the tank as a whole and its surroundings for three widely used tank systems. It will also be discussed how these three tank systems have evolved over time.

The Jupiter® JM4 magnetostrictive level transmitter is a loop-powered 24 VDC liquid-level transmitter and is available as a direct insertion transmitter or as an external mounted transmitter onto a Magnetic Level Indicator. It relies on the position of a magnetic float which is designed precisely for the liquid to be measured. This high-accuracy device can be designed for liquid level and/or liquid-liquid interface measurement.

Principle
The Jupiter JM4 magnetostrictive level transmitter is a loop-powered 24 VDC liquid-level transmitter and is available as a direct insertion transmitter or as an external mounted transmitter onto a Magnetic Level Indicator. It relies on the position of a magnetic float which is designed precisely for the liquid to be measured. This high-accuracy device can be designed for liquid level and/or liquid-liquid interface measurement.

Technology of JM4 magnetostrictive level transmitter
Magnetostriction

A low-energy pulse, generated by the JUPITER electronics, travels the length of the magnetostrictive wire. A return signal is generated from the precise location where the magnetic field of a float intersects the wire. A timer precisely measures the elapsed time between the generation of the pulse and the return of the acoustic signal.  Each cycle occurs ten times per second, providing real-time and highly accurate level data.

LNG ISO cryogenic containers are commonly used in many countries for optimizing energy supply chains and storing liquefied natural gas in urban and rural areas. As specific customer's requirement, customer can possibly buy or lease the containers for short or long periods. We will offer you a cost-effective solution.

Especially, LNG ISO tank and containers are designed for transportation not only on the road and rail but also in the sea and especially for international transportation.

The most outstanding function of LNG ISO Container is the ability to transport among land, railway and ocean. Gms Interneer has many partners whose enterprise passed the Ministry of Communications and national Marine Board LNG container' test. With excellent insulation, no matter how far the transportation is, LNG ISO Container is your suitable choice in any case.

How LNG ISO Tank works ?
The main circuit of LNG ISO Tank is divided as following:

Filling

The process starts with filling LNG into the storage tank through the E-1 and through the filling valve to the tank. Especially, the pressure must be controlled in proper level. There are two main parts:
          - Bottom fill is filling LNG into the bottom of the tank containing liquid which flows directly via V-1. When LNG combines with existing LNG in the tank, it turns to faster filling. However, it will also increase the pressure of the tank.
          - Top fill is filling LNG to the top of the storage tank directly via V-2. When LNG merges with gas vapor, it becomes slower filling. Moreover, it will reduce the pressure of the tank

Pressure Build-up

To control the pressure in the storage tank, it depends on the expansion of gasified LNG liquid. PBU-1, PBU-2 Build-up coils generating pressure are controlled by V-13 which is manual shutoff. Furthermore, Some cases can be automated by regulator or on-off valve. When the pressure of the tank decreases from standard level, On-Off Valve will open until it reaches the desired pressure. Finally, the On-Off Valve will be closed. The pressure change is involved with how much you use it, for example using LNG continuously.

Safety Device

Safety Device consists of 2 sets of PRV (Pressure Relief Valve) .Each set will have 2 pairs working together which are set to the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure. If the pressure is over the setpoint, PRV will start opening. It will close until the pressure in the system is equal to the setpoint.

Instrument Device

The gauge set consists of level gauge and pressure gauge:
          - The level gauge is differential pressure type by using the difference of the pressure level of the low pressure and the high pressure. This differential pressure will push diaphragm mechanism to show the result.
          - The pressure gauge is Bourdon Type. This type is measured at the cylinder head.

LNG outlet

LNG can be used by opening the V-3 valve to distribute it through E-3. Normally, ISO container can be moved in any places and loaded back. However, filling LNG can also do in the same time but the tank pressure must be controlled stably
           - Fill on V-2 (Top Fill ) by closing V-1 (Bottom Fill), which results from the top filling may decrease the tank pressure and fill slowly. Therefore, it relies on generating pressure from the pressure control circuit.
           - In case of opening, filling on V-2 (Top Fill ) and V-1 (Bottom Fill) will continue as usual procedure by controlling the balance of both valves. However, there will be some amount of existing LNG during the filling that flows through V-3 to use in operation. This makes the amount of LNG decrease .Therefore, if taking into account the filling volume from LNG Truck, there should be a flow meter to measure the amount.

Magnetic level indicator Aurora®


Designed as an alternative and upgrade to traditional gauge devices, Magnetic Level Indicators (MLI) from Orion Instruments® are manufactured to provide accurate and reliable liquid level in a wide range of applications. Our MLI product line-manufactured globally at multiple facilities— requires minimum maintenance and eliminates common sight glass problems like vapor and liquid emission. Orion Instruments specializes in precision-engineered excellence and offers highly customized configurations and options for process environments, including those with extreme temperatures and pressures.

True Redundancy in a Single Chamber of Magnetic level indicator Aurora® .The Aurora® MLI combines Eclipse® Guided Wave Radar (GWR) and a float-actuated visual indicator to simultaneously provide both continuous and local level indication. So unique is the Orion Instruments ® dual redundancy within a singlechambered MLI that Aurora® has been granted a U.S. patent.

Technology of Magnetic level indicator Aurora®
Radar Transmitter

The Eclipse® transmitter continuously emits electromagnetic radar pulsesdirectly off the liquid surface.The on-board electronics provide a real-time level output, in addition to the external visual indicator operated by the Aurora® internal float.

Baffle Plate
The GWR probe area is separated from the freemoving float by a baffle plate.

Vertical Float
The custom float located inside the chamber is magnetically coupled to the visual indicator. The float rotates flags or moves a shuttle to visually indicate liquid tank level (as explained in more detail at right).

Visual Indication
The float positioned within the Aurora® chamber risesand falls according to levelchanges. The float contains an internal group of magnetsthat are "coupled" with magnets in the flags of the visual indicator. As the float moves, the flags rotate to expose the color of theiropposite side. The position where the flag's color changes corresponds to a point on the measuring scale indicating true level. (The optional shuttle indicator moves parallel with the float to indicate level on the scale).


Optimum Float Performance
Orion Instruments® floats are engineered to provide the world's best MLI performance.The 360-degree vertical placement of the magnets assures proper coupling with the flag or shuttle of the indicator, even if the float is spinning in its chamber. The magnetic assembly creates a constant Gauss rating optimized to ensure reliable performance. Float magnets are designed to function at temperatures up to +537° C (+1000° F) for years of reliable service.Special float alloys are available.

Baffle Plate
The superb float performance within the Aurora® is due in part to an angled baffle plate mounted inside the chamber.The baffle plate ➀ partitions the GWR probe area ➁ from the float area ➂ and serves as a guide to ensure both smooth float travel and proper indicator operation. Perforations along the baffleplate equalize pressure and allow free media flow within the chamber. The probe area ➁ also acts as a gasbypass zone when flashing occurs. This helps in preventing damage to the float.


Features of Magnetic level indicator Aurora®
Introduced in 1998, Eclipse® Guided Wave Radar (GWR) quickly ascended to its leading role in process level measurement. GWR is still favored throughout the industry for its easy setup, trouble-free operation, measurement accuracy, and immunity to changing process conditions.The Aurora® single chamber houses both the Eclipse® GWR probe and buoyancy float, with the former providing continuous measurement and the latter magnetically coupledto a visual indicator to provide local level indication. A flag-type indicator (or a moving shuttle) visually indicates liquid level. A variety of measurement scales and indicator flag colors are available.

SMITH Gaskets – Smith International Gulf Services


SMITH Gaskets supplies a comprehensive range of oilfield products and services including industrial gaskets, advanced cutting services and hi-tech testing facilities.

A gasket is an elastomeric component that covers the point where two surfaces meet. They are often made of a range of materials, such as rubber, cork or paper, metal, copper, and foam. Because of its versatility, this adaptable element may be utilized for a variety of applications. These include anti-vibration, packaging, cleanliness, noise and sound reduction, and, perhaps most significantly, sealing. Gaskets are utilized in almost every industry, including food processing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, water, and gas. Gasket materials are selected for their properties and capacity to endure a variety of conditions, including mining and deep-sea environments, as well as resistance to chemicals, alkaline acids, high temperatures, and pressure

How does a Gasket work?
A gasket must be squeezed enough to create a complete barrier that will form a pressure-tight seal and protect the contents within the seal in order for it to operate properly and seal away any leaks. Furthermore, gaskets protect moving components of an application by preventing them from rubbing against hard surfaces and causing friction. An elastomeric gasket is a component that creates a seal between two surfaces by sealing against the release or intake of both gases and liquids. They are excellent for filling defects and connecting two surfaces. Because a gasket will cover the gap between these two surfaces, it must be made of a material that is readily deformed and fills any imperfections. Compounds such as spiral wrapped gaskets are often made from a combination of metallic and softer filler material (flexible graphite). Metal gaskets must most of the time be squeezed at a greater tension in order to seal accurately. In certain instances, a sealant must be placed directly to the gasket to provide a leak-free seal.

Applications for Gaskets
A gasket is an important component in various production processes since they are available in a variety of specifications. Gasket material is selected for an installation based on properties like as resistance to chemicals, temperatures (or temperature variations), pressures, acids, gases, and, in certain cases, electromagnetic or electrical forces. Gaskets are widely used and may be found in automobiles, trains, aircraft, boats, electrical equipment, pumps, and a variety of other uses.

Industries that make use of gasket
A gasket material has the ability to withstand some of the most demanding conditions for industrial sealing goods, such as:
        - Chemical synthesis
        - Production of electricity
        - Petrochemical and deep-sea exploration
        - Oil and gas
        - Mining
        - Military
        - Aerospace
        - Filtration
        - Food and Beverage
        - Pharmaceutical
        - Industries involved in sanitary processing

Gaskets may be manufactured using a variety of methods, depending on the material and application, including:
        - Extrusion of rubber
        - Cold bond splicing and hot vulcanized splicing
        - Compression molding, injection molding, and transfer molding
        - Slitting with precision
        - Personalized die cutting
        - Waterjet chopp

Gaskets and seals are used in almost every application and sector, including oil and gas, manufacturing and industrial uses, pulp and paper production, and agricultural equipment. Gaskets that have become worn or damaged are simple to repair. It is common practice to replace gaskets whenever the equipment is dismantled and rebuilt.

PRODUCT OF SMITH Gaskets
RING TYPE JOINTS

Overview – Tristar Bolts and Nuts
Fundamentals of Bolts and Nuts

In contrast to a screw, a bolt is typically accompanied with a nut and a washer in order to act as a fastener. As you tighten the nut, it forces the items you're attaching towards one other, pushing the washer against one and tugging the bolt head against the other. Material, finish, size, and thread type must all be considered when matching a nut and washer to a bolt.

Materials and finishes for bolts, nuts, and washers
Steel is a popular material for nuts and bolts, however if they will be exposed to moisture or pressure-treated timber, which may corrode steel fasteners, ordinary steel fasteners need a corrosion-resistant coating. There are many popular DIY finishes.
         - Zinc-plated bolts are corrosion resistant but should only be used inside. The finish is often thin, will not withstand the weather outside, and is not suitable for use with pressure-treated timber. Yellow zinc or yellow dichromate provides a layer that covers the zinc plating for increased corrosion resistance, but it does not offer protection for outdoor usage or when used with pressure-treated timber.
         - Hot-dipped galvanized nuts, bolts, and washers are more corrosion resistant. These fasteners are designed for outdoor usage and are compatible with pressure-treated timber.
         - Powder-coated paint finishes are intended for usage on the inside.
         - Black phosphate is a coating that allows for excellent paint adherence.
         - The corrosion resistance of epoxy and other coatings varies based on the kind of coating. Specific applications should be found in the product information.
         - Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers are often used in exterior projects and when working with pressure-treated timber
         - Because of their enhanced strength, hardened steel bolts are often utilized in automobile assembly.

Sizes of Bolts, Nuts, and Washers
Bolt, nut, and washer sizes will be specified in metric millimeters (mm) or standard or Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) inches (in). A bolt's diameter is typically the outer diameter of the threads. Compare the outside diameter of a bolt to the interior diameter of a nut and washer. Diameters of 1/4 inch and less are denoted by a # and a whole number in SAE nuts and bolts (a bolt with a main diameter of 3/16 inch is a #10 bolt). Smaller numbers represent smaller dimensions.

The distance between the end of the bolt and the underside of the bolt head, also known as the bearing surface, is typically indicated by length.

Thread Types for Bolts, Nuts, and Washers
Nuts and bolts are either coarsely or finely threaded. Match the threading of a nut to the threading of a bolt.
           - The most prevalent are coarse-threaded nuts and bolts, which have greater space between the threads. They'll be identified by a higher  thread pitch. Because coarse-threaded bolts and nuts are less prone to get stuck or cross-threaded, they may be secured more rapidly.
            - Fine-threaded nuts and bolts with lower thread pitches have fewer thread gaps, resulting in a tight, firm grip. Vibrations are less likely to dislodge a nut on a fine-threaded bolt but installing or removing the nut will take longer.

Maxbolt load indicating fasteners are manufactured by inserting extremely accurate and durable load monitoring devices into high quality bolts and studs. Now, even inexperienced workers can complete complex assemblies with full assurance that fasteners are at the proper tension. Maxbolt also provide in-service monitoring which will warn users of any loosening in order to avoid premature wear, unnecessary downtime, or catastrophic failure.Our Maxbolt load indicating fasteners comes in various shapes and sizes. It can be manufactured from standard ANSI materials to exotic materials.

SPC4 Load Indicating Fasteners
        The SPCA load indicating fastener allows user to install a bolted assembly with confidence. The user can constantly monitor the clamp load of any SPC4 bolted joint whether static or dynamic, by attaching a probe to the datum disc located on the end of the fastener and reading the value on a hand held  battery powered digital monitor. Optional data gathering and storage of the bolted joint are available.The integrity of a bolted joint is jeopardized when fasteners lose their tension. This loss of clamping force begins during assembly due to elastic interactions and joint relaxation. Self-loosening continues when the joint is put in service due to vibrations, temperature changes, shocks, etc. The SPC4 joint allows the end-user to retighten only the bolts or studs that have lost their clamp load resulting in a tremendous saving of maintenance time, money and replacement parts. For a minimal investment, the SPC5 offers maximum joint integrity with optimum performance.

MOZLEY FLUIDIZER – Settled solids removal system


Schlumberger has a variety of solids and sand management systems that provide identifiable value in solving problems at the source,thus alleviating downstream issues and reducing operational concerns.

Overview – MOZLEY FLUIDIZER – Settled solids removal system
Fluidize many solid sizes settled in your process vessel

The MOZLEY FLUIDIZER settled solids removal system is a compact and efficient device used to generate flowing slurry from solids settled at the bottom of a tank or vessel. It is uniquely designed for online discharge of sand from vessels with minimum disruption to interface levels.

Free solids trapped in the system
The MOZLEY FLUIDIZER system uses a spray head that delivers fluidizing water at the right flow rate and in the right direction. Water flows up through the center of the solids remover and out through the nozzle at the top. It clears a 15-in cylinder with a 30°–40° cone around it, fluidizing and removing sand from the area. The fluidized sand flows out through the system annulus; more sand falls into the cleared area and is fluidized.

Special features:
           - No moving parts
           - Vertical or horizontal configuration
           - Controlled injection of water
           - Compact design easy to retrofit

Design custom solutions using various flow rates and configurations
An outlet route for the fluidized sand and solids provides flow resistance. This resistance ensures the sand will flow out of the vessel at a rate matching that of the incoming liquid, which prevents any change of levels in the vessel.

The MOZLEY FLUIDIZER system is available in three sizes, with slurry flow rates of 15, 35, and 66 galUS/min. We can help you select the correct flow for your process and equipment downstream of the flow.The solids removers can be mounted either individually, through vessel nozzles (4-in nozzles for optimal clearance), or manifolded together on a common header.

Application of MOZLEY FLUIDIZER – Settled solids removal system
The MOZLEY FLUIDIZER system uses a controlled injection of water into the sandcontaining vessel to generate a shallow yet broad zone of fluidized sand adjacent to the bottom of the vessel. Because no vortex is created, disturbance is localized to the area containing the deposited sand. This slurry flows toward the MOZLEY FLUIDIZER system, where it passes through an internal flow passage and is discharged from the system outlet. The system's large zone of influence means that large volumes of sand can be removed by a single device, while the horizontal fluidization profile generates practically no disturbance in the liquid above. The MOZLEY FLUIDIZER system discharges a slurry of constant concentration until the sand level drops such that it is exposed when the slurry concentration will fall rapidly, giving a distinct cut-off point. The fluidizing water may be a separately pumped source or taken from the upstream process.

MOZLEY Wellhead Desander- Solids removal system

Consisting of single or multiple cyclone inserts housed inside a vessel operating at the appropriate well head design pressure,MOZLEY Wellhead Desander solids removal systems are used at the production wellhead.These efficient units protect downstream equipment from mechanical damage and erosion. They also prevent partial blocking and settlement of sand in seperators that lead to a reduction in capacity.

Overview – MOZLEY Wellhead Desander- Solids removal system
- Eight times longer lifespan in aggressive multiphase well fluid environments

The MOZLEY Wellhead Desander Solids removal system provides unmatched performance and durability in one of the most difficult and important solids management applications: sand removal from wellhead fluids. To provide the most effective desanding and offer the best protection for equipment downstream of the wellhead, choosing the best hydrocylone configuration is key.

- Protect process equipment erosion and downtime
MOZLEY Wellhead Desander solids removal systems mitigate the effects of sand production, such as mechanical damage to equipment; erosion of pumps, valves, chokes, and flowlines; and reduction in separator capacity due to settlement of sand. The systems use a simple, compact design based on solid-liquid hydrocyclones to separate solids from both the gas and liquid components of well fluids. The hydrocyclone housings can be customized to handle high wellstream pressures and widely varying feed conditions.

- Choose fit-for-purpose solids removal at the wellhead
Selection of the hydrocyclone internals depends on the range of viscosities and specific gravities of the well fluids and the operating gas/liquid ratios. Proper selection ensures optimal performance throughout the operating ranges and provides equipment downstream of the desanding system with superior wear protection.

MOZLEY Wellhead Desander systems employ solid liners made of special silicon nitride ceramic material developed expressly for use in hydrocyclone liners. These liners last eight times longer than competitive alumina ceramic desanders or ceramic-coated hydrocyclones. This provides a reduction of downtime stemming from hydrocyclone wear and replacement, which lowers operating expense. Additionally, the liners are self-cleaning, and slugging of solids will not plug them, further reducing downtime and lowering opex.

- Use multiple small hydrocyclones for greater efficiency
The core of the system is the hydrocyclone liner. Use of extensively enhanced geometrical features and specifically selected construction materials maximizes performance and minimizes erosion in aggressive multiphase well fluid environments. Multiple hydrocyclones are typically installed within a pressure vessel, providing significantly greater efficiency and operating life compared with a large-diameter single hydrocyclone or ceramic-coated metal inserts.

These hydrocyclone clusters cope with the surges of gas and liquid flows much better than large-diameter single hydrocyclones, operating instantaneously to achieve solids separation. With a single hydrocyclone, any high-concentration slugs of solids can potentially block the inlet and underflow, preventing flow.

For less-demanding separation duties, a large-diameter single liner—typically 10-in diameter or greater—can be used. Packaged in a vessel, the single-liner design can reduce costs compared with multiple liners.

Application of MOZLEY Wellhead Desander- Solids removal system
The cyclone inserts of the MOZLEY Wellhead Desander system are specifically designed for each application using proprietary computer simulations. The silicon nitride ceramics developed expressly for used in the solid ceramic hydrocyclone liners deliver 8 times greater wear resistance, as compared with standard grades of ceramic liners or ceramic-coated hydrocyclones. Wellstream fluids enter the cyclone tangential inlet, which forces the mixture to spin and in turn causes the gas to disengage quickly. Both gas and liquids migrate toward the center of the cyclone, as a reduction in cyclone diameter accelerates the fluid while concurrently generating strong centrifugal forces. The gas and liquid flow then reverses and moves upward toward the overflow vortex finder. Solids are separated from the gas and liquid, forced toward the cyclone wall, where they travel down the length of the conical section of the cyclone in a spiral pattern to the solids outlet. The separated solids fall through into the accumulator vessel situated on the underflow of the wellhead desander, or a continuous hydrotransport device can be used. The accumulator vessel is periodically isolated and collected solids are flushed out. The wellhead desander itself remains online and operating while the accumulator is being cleaned.

MOZLEY Desanding Hydrocyclone

MOZLEY Desanding Hydrocyclone as solids-water seperator efficiently and reliably removes solids from fluid streams. Fully packages designs are scalable to meet size requirements and can be fully automated to provide efficient,compact,solid-liquid seperation capabilities,including solids removal from produced water streams.

Overview – MOZLEY Desanding Hydrocyclone
- Remove solids from fluid streams with a range of properties

The MOZLEY Desanding Hydrocyclone solids-water separator is a versatile technology based on an optimized internal geometry that can accommodate a range of solid types and concentrations, fluid rates, pressures, and temperatures. This makes MOZLEY separators well-suited for the unique applications found in the oil and gas industry, including treatment of produced water, aquifer water, and deballast water; hydrocarbon desanding; and other sand cleaning operations.

Manufactured from abrasion-resistant ceramics that provide enhanced wear resistance and longer life, MOZLEY separators are designed to increase solids removal and reduce downstream issues while still allowing full production.

- Handle high flow rates with a compact system
Many hydrocyclones can be packed into a single vessel, resulting in a high unit flow rate. There are no moving parts in a vessel and operate continuously with minimum supervision and maintenance. Sand separation can be a fully automated with continuous or batch discharge of solids, with or without sand accumulation.

- Special features :
        - Separation of 98% of particles from 3 to 108 um
        - Flow rates from 25 to 100,000 bbl/d [3 to 11,924 m3/d] of water
        - Pressure drop of 10 psi [0.07 MPa] from inlet to overflow outlet

- Customizable solutions for your solids challenges
The performance of a hydrocyclone depends on the pressure drop across the inlet and overflow outlet and the volume split to underflow. In general, a higher pressure drop yields a higher capacity and sharper separation.

Thus, the diameter of a hydrocyclone influences the size of solids removed. MOZLEY Desanding Hydrocyclone separators are available with individual hydrocyclone sizes ranging from 0.5 in to 30 in, with 2-in or 3-in ceramic desanding hydrocyclones standard for most applications.

The larger diameter, single-liner units offer high flow rates, but are not as efficient at removing smaller solids as narrower-diameter units that have multiple liners in a single vessel. Because of this, the diameter of hydrocyclone is selected based on the size of solids targeted for removal, with further optimization achieved by tailoring aspects such as inlet and outlet diameter. Construction material can also be matched to the solids expected in the system, for instance polyurethane for low-temperature applications, or extremely abrasion-resistant ceramic materials to address highly erosive solids.

Matching the most suitable hydrocyclone geometry with construction materials that can best address the characteristics of the process fluid and suspended solids creates a customized separation solution for most applications that will deliver reliability and efficiency over alternatives.


Application of  MOZLEY Desanding Hydrocyclone
The solids-water separator operates via pressure drop. Fluids are directed along an involute into the desander, which causes the fluid to spin. Strong centrifugal forces are generated by the spinning motion, causing the solids and liquid to separate. The centrifugal force generated in a hydrocyclone varies over its length and may reach a maximum of 2,000 g. Heavier solids are forced outward toward the wall of the hydrocyclone, and the lighter fluids migrate toward the center core. Because of geometric variables and flow patterns, the lighter fluids flow through the overflow, and the heavier solids are directed to the underflow. The result is a process with a retention time of typically 2 to 3 seconds. Hydrocyclones provide simple and effective means of achieving effective separation of solids and sand from produced and other water streams.For removing solids from a production system, desanders can be utilized either upstream or downstream of a production separator. The typical location is downstream of the production separator on the water outlet and upstream of the water level control valve. The majority  of the sand is accumulated in the separator and will travel out with the water stream. This water outlet is located on the bottom center position of the separator to minimize solids buildup.

CYCLOTECH SCARPA Cyclonic separation technologies


CYCLOTECH SCARPA Cyclonic separation technologies removes sand and other solids from a production seperator on either a continous or batch basis.The modular system can be retrofitted into existing seperators as well as be incorporated into new-build plants.The SCARPA system can convert a three-phase seperator into a true four-phase seperator or a two-phase seperator into a true-phase seperator.The system was developed for topside and subsea production seperators.

Overview – CYCLOTECH SCARPA Cyclonic separation technologies
CYCLOTECH SCARPA Cyclonic separation technologies is one of the most important machines.Whether produced from the reservoir or introduced through well servicing, produced solids are a growing concern for upstream operators. If left uncontrolled, solids production can cause major flow assurance issues.

The keys to successful topside sand handling is flexibility in process design, technology selection, and  Sand production is unpredictable, and the management solution is never universal. Sand management almost always includes factors such as accumulation, fluidization, transportation, cleaning, and disposal—all of which require careful consideration.

Our sand management technologies and sophisticated process design methodologies provide you with the tools to optimize sand management for every application, including multiphase, in-separator and liquid phase.

Hydraulic conveyance of the CYCLOTECH SCARPA eductive sand jetting system can be directed toward one or more discharge outlet nozzles and then routed to a CYCLOTECH Sandscape system.


- Sand receiving and cleaning systems
We offer a range of CYCLOTECH separation technologies that clean sand to such low oil concentrations that the cleaned material can be pretreated prior to shipment to shore or reinjected into the reservoir.

- CYCLOTECH SCARPA eductive sand jetting system
CYCLOTECH SCARPA eductive sand jetting system is a sand-conveying and -removing apparatus that removes sand and other solids from a production separator on a continuous or batch basis. The modular system can be used to retrofit existing separators or incorporated into new-build plants.

- Advantages
         - Decreases pumped flow rate requirement
         - Produces no effect on oil-water separation performance
         - Maximizes separator water pad residence time
         - Eliminates sand carryover to water and oil outlet streams
         - Limits residue sand to less than 5% of total
         - Reduces potential erosion and corrosion of separator
         - Eases sand removal as it has less time to solidify in place
         - Minimizes and controls sand concentrations in outlet pipe work, optimizing the availability and performance of downstream sand-handling equipment
         - Limits the size and complexity of the downstream receiving equipment
         - Minimizes risk of blockage

Application of  CYCLOTECH SCARPA Cyclonic separation technologies
The SCARPA system creates a low-velocity flow that runs along the bottom of the separator through the use of specialized eductor nozzles. An eductor is an established solids-conveyance device that uses a small flow of high-pressure motive fluid to pump a higher-flow, lower-pressure fluid. The eductors' format of suction from behind and discharge in front enables hydraulic balancing to generate a dynamic layer of water of comparatively low velocity along the bottom of a separator. Such hydraulic balancing prevents sand from settling and acts as an effective solids-transport system with minimal radial (vertical) disturbance.

This hydraulic conveyor can be directed toward one or more discharge outlet nozzles at the bottom of the separator and then routed to the suction of an external CYCLOTECH Sandscape* solids conveyance and concentration control system, which controls ejection of solids from the separator.

CYCLOTECH WDC Series Wellhead desanding cyclone technologies


CYCLOTECH WDC series wellhead desanding cyclone technologies can be applied to a wide range of gas/liquid ratios.Deploying WDC Series technologies enables determining the potential range of actual wellhead flowing conditions,designing the cyclone geometry to suit, and predecting seperation performance and cyclone pressure drop.

Overview – CYCLOTECH WDC Series Wellhead desanding cyclone technologies
- Customized new-generation solids separation technology

Schlumberger wellhead and production desanding cyclones represent a new generation of solids separation technology specifically designed for multiphase wellstreams. These custom-engineered technologies use the presence of the gas phase to improve rather than detract from separation performance.Therefore, CYCLOTECH WDC Series Wellhead desanding cyclone has an important role in this part.

Advantages
         - Improved reliability through protecting chokes, flow lines, and manifolds from erosion as well as downstream equipment from erosion, corrosion, and blockage
         - Reduced production separator sand jetting requirements
         - Increased production above sand‑free rates

Application of CYCLOTECH WDC Series Wellhead desanding cyclone technologies
WDC Series technologies have no moving parts and separate solids from multiphase well streams by density differential, using only a small pressure drop across the cyclone. A solids-laden multiphase flow is directed into the inlet section of the cyclone via a tangential inlet port. This causes the fluid to spin at high velocity, creating a high-g radial acceleration field. The dense-phase solid particles are forced outward to the hydrocyclone inner wall. There, through internal hydrodynamic forces, solids are ejected from the apex of the cyclone while the rest of the multiphase flow exits via an axial port that is adjacent to the inlet. The separated solids are collected in a separate solids accumulator, which can be periodically purged on line without interrupting the hydrocyclone operation. This eliminates the need for duty or standby operation.
