Water Cut Analyzer Validation Loop

Validation loop with measurement section attached

This compact validation system was designed, with simplicity in mind, to verify the calibration of Phase Dynamics measurement sections.

How the system operates:

A microprocessor board, with its associated EPROM from the unit to be tested, is placed into the System Electronics.

The measurement section is attached to the loop using quick disconnect flange adapters.

The measurement section is then connected to the System Electronics.

A Windows-based program interfaces to the System Electronics through a serial port. The software provides instructions to the operator for each step of the process and generates a report from the test.

The operator is instructed to pour fluids, of various ratios of known water cut, into the system.



What the system includes:

Windows-based Validation Loop software

RS232 serial cable to connect to PC

fittings and (2) quick-disconnect flange adapters to connect the measurement section to the loop

variable speed centrifugal pump

vacuum pump to remove the air from the system after loading

compressor to pressurize the loop to 60 psi

drip pan

valves

piston assembly

system electronics

(measurement section is not included)

Chemical Analyzer

Because products should be controlled where they are being made and not in the laboratory. Off -line analysis requires time during which the process is running "BLIND". The benefit of real-time monitoring is tighter specification control. With this control, it is possible to adjust parameters such as temperature and pressure to achieve higher processing rates while maintaining razor-sharp control of product characteristics. The results are shorter cycles, higher throughput, greater equipment utilization, and all with the same manpower.
