The Profiler (photo) works by giving a density profile of the cross section of a vessel and then a visual interpretation of the data in much the same way an MRI scanner would provide a slice of a human body. The instrument provides a range of data in realtime that can be interpreted to identify the quality of oil-water interface and any emulsion/foaming layers that may be forming. The Profiler has already been proven in many upstream multiphase oil-and-gas separation processes at temperatures up to 125°C. Now, the system has been redesigned to enable it to withstand the elevated operating temperatures experienced with a desalter. Hall 10.2, Stand A9 — Tracerco, Cleveland, U.K.
