2011-11-07 Selecting a watercut monitor is a daunting task. There is no single answer to what type, brand, model or technology that will do the best job. The correct selection can only be done after properly defining your application.  There are many reasons to measure the percentage of water in oil (watercut) during oil production. For water driven wells the percentage can give crucial information to optimise water injection rates. Further downstream a water cut monitor can allow you to t ...

flow proportional water measurement The flow weighted average water content over a fixed time period or batch volume determined from the OWD measurement and the liquid flow rate through the pipe during the time or batch period. flow weighted average (FWA) The average of a variable weighted by the flow rate or incremental volume. It can be the average of the variable values sampled at uniform volume intervals, or it can be the average of variable values sampled at uniform time intervals and weigh ...

Source: Exxon What is diesel fuel?Diesel fuel is principally a blend of petroleum-derived compounds called middle distillates (heavier than gasoline but lighter than lube oil) and may or may not contain additional additives. Other middle distillates include kerosene and No. 2 Heating Oil. Diesel fuel is designed to operate in a diesel engine where it is injected into the compressed, high-temperature air in the combustion chamber and ignites spontaneously. This differs from gasoline, which is ign ...

Source: ExxonMobil Contamination of fuel by water and dirt entering the fuel as a result of careless fuel handling may cause poor diesel engine performance. Extreme care must be exercised. Fuel-tank caps, dispensing nozzles and hoses should be kept clean to eliminate potential sources of contamination. Regularly removing water from storage tanks, vehicle fuel tanks, and filter bowls is important. Dry storage systems will reduce fuel emulsion problems, injection system corrosion and microbial gro ...
