The AGAR MPFM-50 is a low-cost multiphase meter that continues the long tradition of excellent multiphase meters provided by Agar for over 15 years.

Advantages of the AGAR MPFM-50 Series:

• Gas void fraction 0-100%
• Water-cut 0-100%
• Not affected by flow regimes
• High accuracy, real-time flow measurement
• High and low viscosities
• No nuclear (radioactive) sources
• Compact, portable, and easy to transport and install
• Wet gas application

The AGAR MPFM-50 combines advanced coriolis technology with traditional flow-measurement devices to achieve superior accuracy in the entire GVF range; 0-100%, including the wet gas regime from 95-100%. The AGAR MPFM-50 is a low-cost, compact multiphase flow meter that can accurately measure oil, water, and gas flow rates without separation. The AGAR oil/water monitor is capable of measuring water cuts from 0-100% and is not affected by changing salinities.

The AGAR MPFM-50 eliminates the need for expensive, secondary equipment such as phase separators, valves, and pumps for flow measurement. It is fully self-contained and compact for use in rugged field conditions and can easily be trailer-mounted for portable service.

The AGAR MPFM-50 is a multiphase flow metering tool for field and well optimization, capable of handling all flow regimes.

MPFM-50 COMPRISES FIVE PRIMARY SUBSYSTEMS:

• The mass flow and density measurement is based on coriolis and other ancillary sensors. Engineering advances allow Agar to utilize these sensors at extended operating multiphase flow ranges. The mass flow momentum and density data are fed into the AGAR Data Analysis System (DAS), which determines the net gas flow rate and net liquid flow rate.
• The AGAR Water-cut meter (OW-201 or OW-301) is used to measure water content accurately over the full range of 0-100% in both oil and water-continuous phases. Accuracy is not affected by changes in velocity, salinity, pH, viscosity, temperature, or density. Water-cut data is fed into the DAS and used to determine the individual oil and water flow rates from the net liquid flow rate.
• The AGAR Data Analysis System (DAS) performs on-line analysis of data acquired from the above sub-systems to determine the oil, water, gas, and total fluid flow rates. It supports a variety of PVT calculations that convert the flow from process conditions to standard conditions. It also has the ability to accept user-defined PVT relations.
• High Flow Rate Capability: In applications where the flow line is larger than 4" and the flow rate is high, Agar's unique flow range extender (F.R.E.) MPFM-50 design is used. In this design a 2" MPFM-50 is installed on the split stream and flow nozzle and GVF is installed on the main stream. This design has the ability to manage any flow rate and pipe size at a low cost and high accuracy.
• The Agar Dual Venturi Meter is used to measure flow rates of the multiphase in extreme conditions where the flow is not homogeneous.
