Intro uctionIntro uction
Intro uction
Separation vessels contain pro ucts such as Gas, Foam, Oil, Emulsion, Water, an San which naturally gravitate into
ifferent phases as shown in Figure 1. Each phase has a ifferent ensity.
The Tracerco Profiler
TM
is an a vance Specialist Measurement instrument use to i entify ifferent phases within
multiphase systems. Employing awar winning an patente techniques it measures the gamma absorption of the
process material. This enables a meaningful an accurate measurement of the vertical ensity istribution within vessels
to be ma e.
The instrument uses a vertical array of sources an
etectors (Geiger Müller Tubes), to measure an map the
ifferent process phases with respect to vessel height.
Reliable assessment of both the interface quality an the
level of the interfaces present within the vessel are
achievable.
Measurements can be separate into a maximum of up
to ten ifferent ensity ban s or phases. The elevation of
the various phases can be calculate an outputs given
with respect to the instrument height.
The information provi e can then be use to give
outputs to control oil an water interface levels, control
an monitor the effects of chemical a itives or establish
effective san washing regimes.

2.1. Principle of Operation for a T240 Profiler
The T240 Profiler can support either 1 or 2 separate etector arrays epen ing upon the application. On occasion 2
etectors are require so that the power level in each is low enough to meet the requirements of intrinsic safety over
longer measurement ranges.
Each etector may contain up to 75 Geiger Müller tubes giving a maximum of 150 for this instrument although again, the
number of actual tubes specifie an their configuration epen s upon the application.
With sources loa e an the arming ro in the open position the process material present between the source an
etector will attenuate the ra iation. The amount of attenuation measure by the Geiger Muller is then use to calculate
the ensity of the intervening material.
The T229 controller collects information from each in ivi ual GM tube, an through a series of calculations etermines
the ensity of the material. This enables a ensity or interface profile of the vessel to be constructe . Density ban s are
allocate for each of the phases (typically Gas, Foam, Oil, Emulsion, Water an San ). Up to 6 interfaces may be
configure . The top level of these phases can then be calculate with respect to instrument height.

2.2. A Typical Instrument General Arrangement
A iagram of a single etector system is shown below. The Profiler is typically locate on a flange at the top of a vessel
an consists of 3 main components that make up the outer instrument housing. These are the ip-pipes, neck an ome.
Figure

– Typical Representation
Typical RepresentationTypical Representation
Typical Representation
The ip-pipes project into the separator through the vessel flange an consist of a source assembly an etector probe(s).
The source assembly hol s the source ro in the collimator. This source ro contains a series of sources istribute
along its length. The ro is attache to an arming mechanism allowing the user to isolate the sources within the evice.
The collimator has a series of small holes, which align with each source position when the ro is in the open position.
This allows narrow beams of ra iation to be irecte towar s the etectors in the a jacent etector tube(s). When the
arming mechanism is locke in the shut position the alignment of the sources an the collimator is such that the sources
are isolate an the ra iation from the gauge is at a safe level.
The ip-pipes are effectively a sleeve an atum for the instrument components an provi e the pressure seal with the
vessel flange.
2.3. Detector Configuration
Each etector probe is populate with Geiger Müller tubes positione along its length an encase within a protective
sleeve. Each probe assembly is house within the etector ip pipe(s).
A pulse-shaping amplifier, mounte on the etector probe circuit boar , is
use to pro uce a useable pulse signal for each Geiger tube output. The
output of these amplifiers is connecte to the signal processing boar via a
multi-way cable.
The number an spacing of sources an etectors is configurable an
governs the range an resolution of the instrument.
The tubes are istribute over the range of the instrument to provi e the
require range an resolution of the application. On multi- etector systems
the tubes may be offset such that a better resolution is achieve .

Installation
There are two main aspects of the profiler installation:
1. Mechanical
2. Electrical an Communications
The mechanical components are generally shippe as the following components:
1. Assemble Profiler unit consisting of probes, ip pipes, neck, ome, collimator
2. Support bracket
3. Communications breakout boxes.
4. Source, in arming ro s an A type container
3.1. Installation of Support Bracket (Optional)
The support bracket is not use in all profiler applications. Where require the project will be issue with job specific
mechanical rawings that inclu e a general arrangement rawing an a lower support arrangement rawing (if require ).
Affix bottom support to suitable internal clips or local internal support at the height shown on general arrangement
rawing. Ensuring the arrows on the base are positione in the irection of liqui flow.
Insert the ip-pipe(s) in to the vessel following review of installation information below. Pass the ip-pipe(s) through the
annulus of the bottom support, tightening the bolts fix the ip pipe in place.
Torque the ip-pipe flange to correct settings. Please refer to project specific pressure vessel calculations for suggeste
gasket type an bolt torque settings.
3.2. Mechanical Installation (By Site)
All ip-pipe assemblies will be ispatche packe into a woo en crate(s). Each woo en crate containing a ip-pipe
assembly will be suitable for han ling by fork-lift truck an slings an can be store in a normal store. It is essential the
ip pipes are kept ry. If the crate is opene uring storage for inspection then Tracerco recommen the crate is re-
seale to prevent moisture ingress.
To install carefully remove the li of the crate, where lifting equipment is require an fix lifting shackles through the lifting
lugs fitte to the titanium flange. It is recommen e that the lifting shackle is a 2te rate large 'D' shackle (BS 3032 1958).
For internally mounte ip-pipes, ensure that the flange face of vessel nozzle is clean an place the joint gasket on the
nozzle flange. Using a suitable hoist lift the ip-pipe assembly out of its crate an into position above the vessel nozzle.
Carefully lower the ip-pipe assembly through the nozzle an into the vessel. When the ip-pipe is approximately 200mm
from the vessel nozzle carefully remove the fixing bolts that hol the profiler neck an ome to the titanium flange. With
the neck an ome supporte continue to lower the ip-pipe assembly until it mates with the vessel nozzle, ensuring that
the ip-pipe passes through the bottom support bracket as above, if fitte .
The integrity of the titanium ip-pipe assembly must be protecte by a suitable size relief valve fitte to the vessel.
3.3. Bolt Torqueing Proce ure:
Please refer to project specific pressure vessel calculations for suggeste gasket type an bolt torque settings.
1. All nuts to be capable of being run own their respective bolts by han .
2. Ensure threa s are suitably lubricate .
3. Assemble the joint an secure all nuts by han .

Ra iological SafetyRa iological Safety
Ra iological Safety
It is our normal practice to supply all equipment as specifie except the ra ioactive sources. These will normally be
shippe to site prior to commissioning by Tracerco Services engineers. The sources will be shippe in a suitable type
“A” container. This ensures that the sources are safely packe an shiel e for transport. When shippe to site, the
sources shoul be kept in a safe area (e.g. Ra iographer’s store) until the arrival of Tracerco Services commissioning
engineers, who will install the source array into its ip-pipe. Prior to arrival of the sources, the site registration shoul be
amen e to inclu e the a itional sources. Tracerco’s Ra iation Protection A visor (RPA) may be contacte for a vice
with regar to licenses, registration, etc.
4.1. Source Isolation, Vessel Entry an Controlle Areas
The sources are containe within a single arming ro which can be locke with the sources in place. The lock must not
be remove by unauthorise persons.
For vessel entry uring shut own the arming ro must be locke shut to isolate the sources. This is achieve by pushing
own on the lever at the neck of the profiler (as shown in Figure 5) an inserting a pa lock into the hole provi e .
For UK applications a controlle area is man atory aroun the Profiler, vessel or any area where a ose of ose > 7.5
micro-Sieverts/hr is measure . For non UK applications limits may iffer epen ing on local regulations.
4.2. Cesium Profiler Variant
These sources emit a high energy (662keV) gamma ray. When entering the vessel a controlle area is require even when
isolate . The application specific ra iological operating proce ures must be use when ealing with this type of profiler.
