We are a company located in Brunei currently involved as trading company which supply products to Brunei Shell Petroleum.

We were informed by Brunei Shell recently that they are looking for Hydril BS&W meter to be installed at its storage crude oil tanks (externally along the staircase leading to the top of the tank). The BS&W is used to measure BS&W level at various height of the tanks to inform the operational crews whether the BS&W is at the particular level/height which the meter is installed, simply by given a reading Yes or No.

For eg, BS&W meter is installed at every 0.5m height of the tank (say for eg, 5 pcs are installed and the highest pc will be located at
2.5m level from ground). If the BS&W only comprises 1.4m level from a crude oil tank, the BS&W meter at 2.5m, 2.0m and 1.5m level will
indicate "No" but the meter at 1.0m and 0.5m will indicate "Yes".

Hope this will help you to understand the meter. Can anyone advise where to purchase a BS&W meter. We look forward to your prompt
response very soon.

Thanks & Best Regards

One caution with any capacitance based BS&W meter such as this is the amount and types of fines/clays in your stream. Clays are "polar" so if the velocity is too low through the meter there is the potential that they will create an "insulating" layer on the inside of the meter with a resultant step change in the meter output.

Request Detail:
I'm looking for meter.

We use attrition to reduce the silica on the limenite surface. Attrition is basically high intensity mixing (of 75kw motors at 490rpms) and it is very important for us to keep a constant density throughout the cell. The operating specs are as follows:

77% solids
4.6% sg of solids
Average density: 2.5g/cubic centimeters
Flowrate: 32 cubic meters per hour

We would like to measure the density within the attritioner bank/cell i.e. each attritioner consists of 12 cells (6 rows of 2) and the flow pattern is zig-zag throughout the 12 cells. Preferably we would like a probe inside one of the cells or the smallest pipe diameter (please give ranges) you get fitted on inline instrumentation. if you need some more info let me know.

 

Although this question was asked some time ago I stumbled on it and believe my input may be helpful as there many be people asking a similar questions. This hydrill product was apparently "aquired" by a another company (although HYDRIL is a well known company that still exists) and so if you are looking for the Hydril company its best to do a search using the correct spelling using one "L" and not two. The correct spelling is HYDRIL. I believe Hydril sold off this product to others some time ago (ask Hydril if you need to). I have left a link to a page that shows similar product:

which has brands I believe are dimensionally interchangeable as I am familiar with the history. Good luck to anyone looking for replacements.
