Dualstream 3 Catalogue
The Dualstream 3 is the latest development in wet gas measurement for the upstream
oil and gas market. Solartron ISA engineers have used their extensive experience and
knowledge in wet gas flow behavior and added water fraction measurement to the
Dualstream family of meters. Dualstream meters have been successfully used around
the world in over 300 gas fields for solutions in hydrocarbon allocation and reservoir
optimization.
The water fraction measurement utilizes a new unique approach developed especially
for wet gas applications. Using multi path sensors, the water fraction meter can obtain
an extremely accurate record of the liquid phase fractions for virtually any flow regime.
There are no probes or dead volume traps to worry about. The measurement sensor
is the only non-intrusive sensor available that can detect the water fraction across the
entire pipe diameter for wet gas flow.
The water fraction measurement coupled with Dualstream Venturi offers the simplest,
reliable method for wet gas. This makes it ideal for harsh or remote locations. There
are no regulative concerns as with sensors of radioactive sources.
Key Benefits
Water Fraction Measurement a High Accuracy
The next generation of the Dualstream meters incorporates the newest water fraction
technology using multi path sensors to derive the phase fractions of the fluid. It is
a Real Time Measurement of
designed to maintain accuracy in both oil and water continuous fluids and to operate Phase Fractions
across the full liquid range of a gas condensate well.
a No Radioactive Sources
By metering the multi phase fractions in real time, Dualstream 3 multi-path sensor
technology provides gas, water and condensate flow rates for use in allocation of a Non Intrusive Probes
hydrocarbon royalties. It also provides for economic optimization of gas reserves
through generation of real time production data including early measurement of water a PED-2014/68/EU
breakthrough for inhibitor management.
