The Roxar Multiphase Salinity System provides sensitive and real-time measurements of the conductivity and salinity of produced water in multiphase production wells. Together with the Roxar Multiphase Meter, this enables operators to obtain saline independent multiphase measurements, take immediate remedial action to improve flow assurance (optimizing corrosion, erosion and scale inhibitors), minimize water coning, and maximize oil & gas production.
- Compact design consisting of a pipe spool and an Ex d flow computer, typically mounted upstream of the Roxar 2600 MPFM
- Modular based approach ensures the RMSS is a separate module, allowing integration with both new and existing Roxar 2600 MPFM
- Real-time continuous outputs of both water conductivity and salinity

Roxar SAM Acoustic Sand Monitor is a non-intrusive sensor that provides real-time production sand information, allowing increased oil & gas production rates and less topside erosion events. The referenced instrument is based on acoustic technology and proprietary algorithms that translate the sand noise into actionable data. The Roxar SAM provides an immediate response to sand production that allows production flow adjustment, sand separator efficiency monitoring and other onshore and offshore upstream applications. The referenced instrument data can be enhanced further with Roxar SandLog and / or Permasense corrosion and erosion monitors.
- Non-intrusive, easy to install
- Easy to understand sand intensity and quantification data
- Sand quantification when combined with sand injection calibration
Uncertainty
+/– 5% (with sand injection calibration)
Particle Detection
Typically from 15 µm (gas) and 25 µm (liquid)
Flow Velocity
Minimum 1 m/s

Layer detection and compensation features are built into the embedded software of the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter to protect the integrity, reliability and robustness of the measurement results provided by the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter.
The Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter has proven to be robust and is performing well with all the various assisted recovery methods. With naturally flowing wells with erratic behaviors due to continuous changes in water, oil and gas, the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter can adapt to the different flow regimes using advanced sensor capabilities to determine not only the rapid changes of the total flow but also address complex combinations of phase distribution.
