Iranian Experts Make Sensor for Measuring Fluid Level of Oil, Gas Reservoirs
“This device is a liquid level measurement sensor inside oil and gas tanks. The sensor is widely used in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries,” Mehdi Rahbar Alam, the Research and Development Manager of the knowledge-based company stationed at Shiraz Science and Technology Park, told ANA.
“This sensor is installed on top of the tank and measures the liquid level, and the exact number appears on the display as a decimal,” he added.
Rahbar Alam explained that a number of these devices have been installed in South Pars Refinery in Southern Iran, noting, “Microcontrollers or microprocessors have been designed and produced from A to Z by the Iranian specialists in our company.”
In a relevant development last July, researchers at an Iranian knowledge-based company managed to make a special sensor to detect water in oil and gas.
“This sensor was designed and produced with the aim of detecting water in hydrocarbons and is ready to be presented to the relevant industries like the National Iranian Oil Refining & Distribution Company (NIORDC), petrochemical companies across the country, companies that produce various types of hydraulic engine oil, oil for transformers of power plants, nuclear power plants and refineries,” Amir Reza Moussavi, a representative of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“The product is highly useful in quick and accurate detection of water in the oil, gas, petrochemical and related industries,” he said.
Moussavi added that hydrocarbons, which exist in oil, gasoline, hydrocarbon solvents, car engine oils, electric transformer oil, etc., should not contain water since the presence of water endangers and disrupts the operation of related processes.
