Application:
|
Interface (Level) Detection: Oil / Water, Separator (Treater) Tank |
|
Product used:
|
KAYDEN 800 Series Flow – Level – Interface – Temperature Switch |
|
Description:
|
Oil is pumped from the well (or well storage) into the ("knock-out") tank to separate the oil from the water and debris (sand, etc.). The interface (level) switch controls the (water) drain valve by energizing / de-energizing one of the internal relay contacts as the switch reacts to the material difference of the oil / water. |
|
Challenges:
|
In oil / water interface applications the level switch must:
- Resist failures caused by corrosion and / or "sludging" damage to the sensor.
- Not react slowly or intermittently due to coating of the sensor.
- Easily be configured (programmed, adjusted) by the user to achieve the optimum balance between response time and sensitivity to prevent tank overflows, oil in the drain line and unwanted cycling of the drain valve.
