High Pressure Water Injection Turbine Flow Meters

High Pressure liquid Turbine Flow Meter

Exotic Turbine Meter for Large Water Injection Project

British manufacturer of high-quality Turbine Flow Meters Metri Measurements has introduced to its range a customised High-Pressure Turbine Meter made from exotic materials (Super Duplex & 6MO Body) for a Water Injection application.

Metri LTM Turbine Flow Meters

Metri LTM high-quality Turbine Flow Meters

Application:

Water injection is a method in the oil industry where water is injected back into the oil reservoir , to increase pressure and maximise oil production. Through conventional methods only around 30% of the oil in a reservoir can be extracted, however, water injection increases the recovery factor and maintains the production rate of a reservoir over a longer period of time.

“The Metri LTM is a versatile meter with high accuracy performance and when combined with its low cost of ownership it’s easy to see why the LTM Turbine Flow Meter is still a highly popular choice for many applications.” Stated Paul Gentle, Owner of Icenta Controls Ltd. “Icenta is constantly developing its Metri product range to encompass new technologies materials, flow rates and connections to enable it to be used across many different industries”

New Materials:

A mix of chemical resistant materials were used to achieve application and product compatibility and long term service. 6 Mo (UNS S31254) is a super austenitic stainless steel with a high level of molybdenum and nitrogen. This provides high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as high strength, making it the ideal material for Oil and Gas Water Injection applications. Other materials were used for internal wetted parts. Each Turbine rotor and support was machined from exotic materials.

This type of water injection turbine flow meter has been successfully deployed in a variety of other applications where high pressure jetting or cleaning is required. These include clearing fatbergs in pipes and systems, an increasingly common problem today. The LTM Turbine Flow Meter, complete with digital display with Hart/Modbus Communication for ease of monitoring the flow rate of the water or chemicals in use, is connected to a high-pressure pump to provide a solution that is highly versatile extremely durable and effective.
