The Iris MX™ camera helps reveal a suspected resonance problem 👇

📈 Following on from the posts last week about High-speed MA cameras, here's a nice example of the Iris MX™ in action helping to rectify piping and instrumentation vibration issues with a large gas compressor. 💬 Stuart Walker "We have had some great applications for the Motion Amplification® Technology in the Oil & Gas Industries. The MA technology works really well on piping and instrumentation vibration problems helping get down to the root cause and rectification of the problem. 👀 Nice example here of some failing temp probes on a large Gas compressor. Vibration was the suspected cause so MA was used to visualize the problem in a poor access area. Now with the vibration (Pulsation frequency from compressor 5XRPM) occurring 250 times a second (250Hz) we used our high speed IRIS MX™ camera to capture this motion to visualize in full HD. We could see straight away why the probes were failing due to the out of phase motion with the main discharge pipe. As the vibration was very directional on the pipe we suspected a resonance problem. 📉 A quick bump test confirmed the pipe had a natural frequency of 242Hz very close to the compressor pulsation frequency of 250Hz. Plan is to change the natural frequency of the pipe at least 20% away from the pulsation frequency and re-assess levels. We will probably do some temp stiffening and visualize with the camera on how the piping and probes react before fitting a final solution." 🔗 See the comments below for a list of helpful resources. 📧 MA Team: info@motionamplification.co.uk #MAMonday #MotionAmplification #OilandGas #Innovation #HighSpeedCamera #RootCauseAnalysis

ESP Safety Subsea Particle Detector "ECHO-UW" The Echo-UW detects liquid (water) and solid particles in gas flow and solid (sand) particles in oil pipeline. Employing ultrasonic technology the Echo-UW detects acoustic noise generated by sand and other particles when they collide into the walls of pipeline and notify operator if their concentration reaches above acceptable level. The output signals from Echo-UW sand detector are transmitted directly to a control system for online data monitoring. Being the next generation of smart instruments the Echo-UW uses advanced digital signal processing algorithms to provide reliable, high-resolution data to operator. The Echo-UW non-intrusive device can be easily tied into any existing system or implemented into new pipeline installation. #ESPSafety #ESPAssetIntegrity #Subsea #Sandmonitoring #Sanddetector #Sandmanagement #System #OilandGas #Oil #Pipelineintegrity #Ultrosonic #Acoustic #sensor #AssetIntegrity

How to install a liquid turbine flowmeter? Turbine flowmeter installation has flange connection, thread connection and clamping three ways. During installation, the liquid flow direction must be consistent with the direction of the arrow indicating the flow direction on the sensor shell. The upstream straight pipe section must be at least 20 times the pipe diameter, and the downstream straight pipe section must be at least 5 times the pipe diameter. The sensor of the instrument should be far away from the external magnetic field, if it cannot be avoided, necessary measures should be taken. In order not to affect the normal delivery of liquid during maintenance, bypass pipes should be installed outside the straight pipe sections at both ends of the sensor. When the sensor is installed in the open air, it must be waterproof. The wiring of the sensor and the display instrument should be selected according to the power supply of the amplifier. The liquid turbine flow sensor can be installed horizontally or vertically, and the fluid direction must be upward when vertical. The liquid should fill the pipe without bubbles. When installing, the liquid flow direction should be consistent with the direction of the arrow indicating the flow direction on the sensor housing. The inner wall of the straight pipe section should be smooth and clean, without any defects such as dents, scaling and peeling. #liquid turbine flow meter #flow meter #flow measurement #instrument #flowmeter

Gas Collector and Exhaust Valve Upstream for eliminating bubbles at a magnetic flowmeter. Purpose: Gas Collector: This device is designed to capture and collect gas bubbles from the liquid before it reaches the flow meter. Exhaust Valve: This valve allows the collected gas to be safely vented out of the system. How They Work: Gas Collector: Installed upstream of the electromagnetic flow meter. As the liquid flows through the gas collector, any gas bubbles present in the liquid are captured and separated from the liquid stream. This helps in preventing large bubbles from reaching the flow meter, which could otherwise cause measurement errors. Exhaust Valve: Positioned after the gas collector. It releases the collected gas from the system, ensuring that only bubble-free liquid continues to flow towards the flow meter. This process helps maintain the accuracy and stability of the flow measurements. Benefits: Improved Accuracy: By removing gas bubbles, the flow meter can provide more accurate and stable readings. Reduced Maintenance: Prevents the need for frequent recalibration or maintenance due to bubble-induced errors. Versatility: Especially useful in systems where changing the installation position of the flow meter is not feasible. Installation Considerations: Ensure the gas collector and exhaust valve are properly sized for the flow rate and pipe diameter. Regularly check and maintain the exhaust valve to ensure it is functioning correctly. hashtag #ABB #flowmeter #instrumentation #Measurement

GEO Pressure Systems Inc. is doing it again... Our innovative GEOH 125 gauge was developed as a result of our engineering group working closely with operators to solve their unique on-site challenges. To combat the environments with excessive electromagnetic noise found alongside ESP's or with other pumps using high-voltage VSD's, our team developed a turn-key solution based on a proven architecture to ensure the reliable delivery of every data packet to surface. Our GEOHV 125 gauge system enables real-time downhole monitoring for operators where it was previously out of reach due to the challenging environment or high-cost associated with retrofitting high-voltage equipment to reduce the amount of electromagnetic noise throughout their completion. For international wellsites where dirty grid power is wreaking havoc on instrumentation, or in completions where legacy high-voltage equipment is creating excessive signal noise, the GEOHV 125 is the perfect solution to overcome these challenges and deliver accurate and reliable real-time downhole data operators need.
