automation solutions.
The BETTIS Multiport
Flow Selector is the
latest concept and
the preferred choice
in production test
manifold design.
The Multiport Flow
Selector is compact,
economical and
reliable.
Design and Construction
Emerson Process Management – Valve Automation provides a broad product
offering of automation and control solutions for the oil and gas industry. For
more than 55 years, hydrocarbon producers have relied upon the BETTIS™
product brand as an added assurance of safety, reliability and performance.
BETTIS innovations have set the brand apart and provided our clients with
savings in both time and money.
The BETTIS Multiport Flow Selector (MPFS) provides a cost effective and
compact means to improve production management and well optimization.
The MPFS allows the selecting and diverting of well fluids from an individual
well to a single test outlet, flow loop or sampling device. Connecting up to
seven flow lines, the Multiport Flow Selector allows the combined fluids to
flow through a separate group outlet, while simultaneously isolating any single
well for testing. The unique flow selector is ideal for a variety of oil, gas and
process applications and can be used either as a standalone device or with a
multiphase meter. The MPFS can also be used for water injection for Enhanced
Oil Recovery (EOR) projects. It provides control simplicity in an environment
where size, weight and reliability are all key factors. The Multiport Flow
Selector reduces the costs of installation, operation and maintenance of the
well test system throughout its life cycle.

BETTIS Multiport Actuator (MPA)

The BETTIS Multiport Actuator (MPA) is an electronic system specifically designed to control and monitor the
operation of the Multiport Flow Selector. It combines an exclusive solid state motor starter with control software to
provide precise positioning of the Multiport Flow Selector within +/- one degree of the selected port, retaining that
position even in the event of a power loss. The Multiport Actuator features include:

• Certified explosion proof

– Class I, Div I, Groups C & D
– EEx d IIB T4 Local Display
Module (LDM)
• Operating temperature range:
– 58°F to +149°F (-50°C to +65°C)

• Heavy duty gearbox with capacity

 Modular Versatility

Historically, connecting individual production wells or flowlines to a

test separator required a multitude of valves that had to be opened by
hand. In addition to the valves and shutoff devices, the system required
considerable piping. The conventional two-way or three-way systems cost
more initially, required higher operating costs, needed more maintenance
and downtime and added to the personnel risks. The Multiport Flow
Selector, with automated actuated control, is safer, less expensive, lighter
weight and more compact than conventional systems.
