Self Configuring MPM - Multi Phase Meter
The MPM Multi Phase Meters employs tomographic technology to significantly improve measurement accuracy and measurement range for multiphase meters for topside and subsea applications. The self calibrating feature implemented in the MPM meter is a step change from conventional multiphase meters. This new feature is achieved through implementing salinity measurement functionality in combination with the in-situ fluid property verification.
The MPM meter works equally well for multiphase and wetgas applications, for gas void fractions of 0 - 100% and water cut of 0 - 100%. The industry sponsored 3D Broadband® technology is employed to accurately and very rapidly determine how the liquid and gas is distributed throughout the pipe, while at the same time determines precise flow rates of oil, gas and water. For slugging flow regimes, the MPM meter will automatically switch up to five (5) times per second between the multiphase and wetgas modes, bridging a gap previously not covered by multiphase meters. The MPM Subsea Multi Phase Meter has been qualified through the stringent DNV RP-203 qualification process to an impressive 15,000 psi working pressure and an as impressive 480°F working temperature. The MPM meter has also been designed for 11,500 ft water depth.
