Description
The Fluimix® FMX-PWM™ Hydrocarbon Sampler operation.
Flow is extracted from the main pipeline, pressurized and
re-injected back into the main pipeline in such a way that it
homogenises the fluid in the main pipeline to such an
extent a representative sample can be removed which has
a representative accuracy of 0.025% of the main pipeline
fluid. This is for all flow rates.
Flow is then extracted into the sampling loop which is
designed to have no water traps and sufficient fluid velocity
to maintain sample representivity and homogeneity
through the system. The loop passes through a sample
receiver cabinet which can be located in a convenient
position for the operator. The enclosure can be fully
isolated so that any maintenance work can be carried out
with no impact on the main process.
The enclosure contains a flow- through cell sampler which
discharges 1cc samples directly into a sample receiver.
The short distance travelled by the sample minimises
the risk of cross- contamination between batches.
The enclosure, which can be heated to maintain an even
temperature to avoid solid or wax formation, also houses the
sample receivers. These can be fixed volume 5 liters, 10 liters,
18 liters or constant pressure sample receivers (CPC) with manual
or automatic changeover.
Dynamic performance measurement can be achieved by fitting
a Can Weigh system for receivers or a level-sensor system for
CPC receivers. A sampler controller can be installed providing
configuration, monitoring and control functions with DCS
integration capability.
Optional withdrawable nozzle and quill can be installed by
'hot-tap' into either the top or the bottom of the pipeline.
On-line analysers such as water-in- oil monitors and
densitometers can be integrated as part of the sampling loop
ensuring optimum representivity, accuracy and direct
comparison of results.

FMX-PWM™ TYPICAL P&ID

It is solely the responsibility of the end-user, through its own analysis and testing, to select products and materials suitable for their specific
application requirements, ensure they are properly installed, safely applied, properly maintained, and limit their use to their intended purpose.
Improper selection, installation, or use may result in personal injury or property damage.
