In 2006, Vzljot specialists have designed a new electromagnetic flowmeter, Vzljot ER PPD, to measure produced water flow in headers, lift stations, and well heads of reservoir pressure maintenance systems.
Compared to conventional vortex flowmeters, the main distinctive characteristic of the new Vzljot ER PPD device is its full-opening bore. This type of bore ensures the absence of corrosion, scale formation, and technological waste clogging.
The new Vzljot ER PPD electromagnetic flowmeter is a reversible execution device, i.e. it defines the flow direction automatically. This feature allows for easy flow measuring in any direction, which is critical in the case of detecting backflows.
Special materials used to make the device ensure high reliability within its operating life. The design of Vzljot ER PPD allows on-site replacement of vortex flowmeters. The old device is dismounted, and a new one is mounted in its place. This feature helps to cut down device replacement costs and to reduce man-hours significantly.
The flowmeter's multi-channel design enables metering in six pipelines with the help of a single computer that stores archives of different types (including two-hour, daily, monthly and programmable archives).
Measurement results can be transmitted through the impulse/frequency output for a distance of up to 300 m or through the RS 485 interface for a distance of up to 1 km. The flowmeter diameter is 32-150 mm.
The device's working pressure is 25 mPa. Presently, no other flowmeter in the world has the same working pressure.
The electromagnetic flowmeter can be used outdoors in the most severe climatic conditions.
