Application
Accurate measurement in oil skim and separation tanks is critical to product quality because there is complete separation of oil and gas possible. For liquid-liquid interface monitoring an accurate measurement helps control the quality of the separator’s output and thus helps to extend equipment life in downstream units by avoiding any potentially expensive impurity problems.
