Two phase separators are used to separate hydrocarbon fluids into two components: oil and water. The separation process requires accurate and reliable measurement in order to prevent carryover and carryunder, which in turn effects the process efficiency. Using measurement equipment can also help to identify when high levels of sediment collect in the base of the vessel to avoid blocked inlets from solid media being drawn down lines and into pumps. This can be accomplished by installing the Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar with a single lead probe either directly mounted or in a chamber, paired with a Rosemount 2140 Level Detector for point level measurement and monitoring any presence of sand and/or sludge at the bottom of the vessel.
The Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter is ideal for challenging measurements on liquids, slurries, and solids, offering state of the art reliability and safety features in level and interface applications. Rosemount 5300 offers several advantages such as easy installation, no need for calibration, and is unaffected by process conditions. Also, it is SIL 2 certified making it your first choice for safety applications. It has a robust construction and features powerful built-in diagnostics allowing you to focus on the essential part - your plant.
The new Rosemount™ 2140 is the world's first wired HART® vibrating fork level detector for applications including overfill prevention, high and low level alarms, and pump protection. Providing reliable level detection of all liquids as well as sediments, the Rosemount 2140 offers greater ease-of-use and flexibility with smart diagnostics that continuously monitor electronic and mechanical device health, and a fully integrated remote proof-testing capability, helping to increase safety and efficiency of both plant and workers. The Rosemount 2140:SIS is certified to IEC 61508 (SIL 2) for safety-critical applications.
