Offshore oil platforms have some of the most testing operating environments possible. Operators have to combine the drive to efficiency with their environmental commitments.

Whatever analyser you choose should not only match your needs and add value but must not take up valuable resources whether that’s personnel or consumables.

Discharge Management

Oil platforms generate produced water and this must be managed. For every country there are regulations setting limits on the amount of hydrocarbons than can be disposed of overboard and a range of different lab techniques that can be used for reporting this amount. An on-line fluorescence analyser can provide continuous measurement of the oil concentrations in the discharge water.

The EX-S, from INOV8 Systems and supplied by AMS Equipment Ltd, is a side stream analyser which not only can provide you with extremely accurate results, but can cater for changes in the size of oil droplets using the homogenisation effect of its ultrasonics. Using the built in spectrometer, the EX-S can detect changes in the oil type and the presence of chemicals that also fluoresce, ensuring that you have as complete a picture as possible.

Process Improvement

Every platform has to recover as much oil as possible, as efficiently as possible. In order to make improvements you need to understand how the current system is working. INOV8 Systems manufactures a cost effective probe system, EX-P, that allows direct insertion into your main process line at the inlet and outlet of any separator, providing continuous on-line information about the effectiveness of your separators.

Built Fit for Purpose

All INOV8 Systems analysers are built fit for purpose. Designed to operate in harsh environments, with no day to day maintenance, and to consistently provide highly accurate and reliable results at a best in market price.
