Red Eye® Multiphase Water-Cut Meter Applications & Features

Applications

The Red Eye multiphase water-cut meter is designed to work with vastly different types of flow. It works in continuous liquid and gas flow streams. These new design elements have been incorporated with the existing capabilities developed for our earlier water-cut meter, creating a tool that performs beyond the industry standards in a wide breadth of situations.

Applications include:

• Individual well production monitoring
• Water onset detection
• Undersized test separators
• Optimized injection of hydrate inhibitors

Features

The Red Eye multiphase water-cut meter uses a simple design that promotes longevity and accurate measurements for the life of the unit. The wetted end consists of a flange mounted or threaded insertion style probe. The probe has permanently sealed high-strength sapphire windows to isolate the process stream. The optoelectronics are mounted directly on the measurement probe, limiting field wiring to power and output signal cables. Key features include:

• Easy installation and configuration
• Non nuclear
• Compact and robust
• Low power
• Independent of typical phase density changes
• Salinity independent
• Slug frequency calculation

The meter offers both real-time water-cut measurement plus a liquid weighted average over a user-specified time period. This is especially useful when slug flow is occurring.

The meter is available for line sizes from 2 to 24 in. and pressure ratings up to ANSI 1500#. It is also available in a hot tap configuration for ANSI 600# applications.
