Agar’s OW-200 series is a second-generation design, microwave based liquid/liquid analyzer developed by Agar Corporation after introducing the first 0-100% water cut monitor to the market in 1985.
The OW 200 Series watercut monitors, consisting of the OW-201 and the OW-202 monitors, utilize a microwave transmitter (2.45 Gigahertz) to measure bulk dielectric properties of the flow stream. They measure hydrocarbon/water mixtures over the full range of 0-100%, regardless of the continuous phase. Unlike other microwave, density or capacitance based instruments; Agar’s Oil/Watercut Monitors are the only devices in which the accuracy of the measurement is not affected by changes in salinity, density, viscosity, temperature or velocity of the components being analyzed. In addition, the high frequency signal will maintain accuracy in the presence of process coatings that would be detrimental to optical instruments.
Applications:
- Crude Oil and finished pipeline monitoring
- Oil in wastewater
- Glycol and water
- Aqueous / organic measurement
The OW-300 series utilizes a combination of explosion proof type enclosures and intrinsically safe electronics that provide signal outputs/inputs to the probe. The DAS is also a flow computer that can provide net oil, net water and flow rates when a flow meter input is supplied. The data system is transmitted with 4-20mA signals, HART and Modbus.
Applications:
- Pipeline BS&W measurement for refined
products
- Crude pipelines
- Desalter crude feed
- Well testing
- LACT Units
- Separation control
- Shipping Terminals
