Abstract
Crude oil separation is an important process in the oil industry. To make use of the separators efficiently, it is important to know their internal behaviour, and to measure the levels of multi-interfaces between different materials, such as gas-foam, foam-oil, oil-emulsion, emulsion-water and water-solids. A multi-modality multi-interface level instrument is presented, which is based on capacitance and electromagnetic measurements. Some key issues have been addressed, including the effect of salt content on measurement. © 2007 IOP Publishing Ltd.
