Better alternatives to mechanical meters
Increase safety, reliability & reduce maintenance costs
When first installed, mechanical meters work fine. But better measurement alternatives will ensure maximum process safety and performance, and prevent your precious time and energy being spent on instrument maintenance. Why compromise your processes, or risk an expensive shutdown because of aging technology that has reached its limits? It’s time to replace mechanical meters and other outdated measurement technologies with instrumentation that reliably performs under all process conditions.

Application
Reliable, efficient well fluid separation
Floats and displacers are still widely used for interface and overall level measurements. But they need a lot of maintenance to ensure accuracy, along with continuous adjustments for varying crude oil densities. This can result in high maintenance efforts in remote crude oil gathering units.
Our expertise in the field
With modern accurate guided wave radar or radiometric measuring technologies, you reduce maintenance and assure crude oil quality, ready to dispatch to the refinery.
Chemical injection skids: protection and performance
Chemical injections into process lines and fluids are daily business in oilfield services and in the production & processing of oil and gas. Each chemical injection skid has its own critical measuring tasks.
Our expertise in the field
Sentasy offers a full range of measurement instrumentation that performs under harsh conditions, together with skid design services to protect your people and infrastructure, improve productivity, reduce costs, and avoid downtime.
Distillation column and vacuum distillation
Maximizing the feed rate of the crude distillation column while ensuring the mixture of crude types meets environmental specifications is a must. Modernizing your level measurement technologies can avoid costly shutdowns. In vacuum distillation, varying ambient temperatures jeopardizes the reliability of traditional differential pressure (dp) measurement using capillaries. In addition, mechanical and thermal impacts can destroy the capillaries every few months.
Our expertise in the field
Guided wave radar (Levelflex) level measurement in the distillation column is the reliable alternative to displacers (compliant with API2350 – functional safety) as it is not affected by density and temperature changes.
Precise density measurement under real-world conditions
Accurate density measurement is essential for volumetric custody transfer applications and meter proving. Density is also a key indicator of process fluid quality. Legacy liquid density transducers drift over time, requiring regular recalibration, and are sensitive to changing process conditions and fluid properties like viscosity.
Our expertise in the field
Eliminate these disadvantages with a modern densitometer that guarantees unequaled density measurement under fluctuating, real-world conditions.
Storage tanks
Floats are very often used in level applications because of their costs. Nevertheless, their reliability is affected by density variations, and they are prone to build-up over time which causes inaccurate or no (jamming/ blocking) measurement. This leads to high maintenance costs due to needed regular cleaning and dismantling, and proof testing is therefore time consuming and made difficult.
Our expertise in the field
Replacing your floats with vibronic limit switches can lead to gain in availability and safety.
Fuel transfer
Existing flow meter technologies such as positive displacement (PD), turbine, variable area (VA or Rotameter) and differential pressure (DP) - once the best-fit or only solution for some applications - are no longer the only choice.
Our expertise in the field
Today, modern flow technologies such as vortex, ultrasonic and Coriolis are much more reliable alternatives, especially when a plant's process needs improvement. Sentasy offers a wide range of different devices.
