Proven level Instruments for emulsified crudes-

Proven level Instruments for emulsified crudes-

(OP)
We are seeking operational feedback on level instrument and water cut meter manufacturers and specific technology that has been applied successfully in the field for crude oil water emulsion interface detection and outlet oil water cut metering for 3 phase production and test separators. The application is for heavy crude primary and test separators, 22API with potential stable emulsions forming, no foaming issues. FPSO installation and ships movements considered.

On level instruments for interface detection with emulsion band etc. we would appreciate feedback on any experience and recommendations on potential instruments that have been used or retrofitted successfully in similar heavy crude FPSO applications.

We are putting in a 3 phase test separator with a water cut meter in the oil outlet and are expecting to get emulsion carryover and expect accuracy issues with the meter. We would appreciate any feedback on instrument selection that you may have or could recommend.

I am aware of some of the technologies available in the market place and the reputed vendor claims however the crux of the matter is what actually works in practice and has been proven. I would appreciate any feedback and or contacts you may have.
 
Many thanks
