Chemical injection in oil rigs, sub-sea drilling or fracking

Task

High-pressure processes for chemical injection systems, for example in oil drilling rigs or offshore platforms are a challenge for any flow measurement system.

Chemicals added by injection through a bore pipe at high pressure directly at the wellhead increase water viscosity and enable efficient detachment of oil from the reservoir rock making its transport easier. In order to control the process, the injected chemicals must be measured accurately. Conventional volumetric systems such as gear flowmeters or turbine flowmeters cannot be used for all media due to different liquid properties and big differences in density and viscosity, and do not provide the same results in terms of accuracy and reliability.

Solution

High Pressure Coriolis Flowmeters from Heinrichs Messtechnik

• High Accuracy, despite large differences in density and viscosity
• High Reliability due to no moving parts
• Small Measuring Ranges possible

For more than 15 years, Heinrichs Messtechnik have been offering solutions in high-pressure Coriolis for customers worldwide. Our experience in Coriolis Flowmeters, special forms of measuring loops, combined with special materials (different stainless steel versions, HP 160, Duplex and so on) and heat treatment methods allow you to work with operating pressures up to 1500 bar, extremely low flow rates from 1 kg/h and thus, offer a reliable solution for high-pressure processes.
