Separation Efficiency Testing and Steam Quality Measurement

Liquid Carry-over in Gas Flow from Multi-Phase Separators (Oil, Hydrocarbon Condensate, Water):

  • Production Well Test Separators or Downstream Plant Process Separation Equipment
  • Isokinetic Sampling to Correct Separator Flow Rates for Liquid Entrainment in Gas Phase
  • Direct On-Site Measurement Using Tracers, or Laboratory Analysis of Entrained Phase

Steam Quality Measurement from Steam Generators:

  • Isokinetic Sampling with Retractable or Fixed Probes
  • Moisture Determined by Tracer Carry-over
  • Moisture Determined by Throttling Calorimeter
  • Low-quality Steam (<99%) Measured by TFT in Pipelines and at Steamflood Injection Wells
