Original Press Release:
Quicksand(TM) Erosion Detection System
Santa Fe Springs, CA, February 2, 2005 - Rohrback Cosasco Systems is pleased to introduce the Quicksand(TM) Erosion Detection System.
In Oil and Gas Producing Systems sand production gives problems for several reasons.
1. It can create blockages in pipework and vessels.
2. It provides a large surface area that absorbs inhibitors.
3. It can cause high erosion and erosion/corrosion problems.
Acoustic methods can be useful for sand detection, where the flow can be reduced to prevent the sand production, and where background noise is not a problem. However, where sand production cannot be eliminated, these methods are not effective since they cannot measure the resultant erosion or erosion/corrosion.
This is where the new RCS High Sensitivity Quicksand(TM) probes and transmitters provide the answer. This system is based on the new extremely successful Microcor® Technology, and the Quicksand system provides an unparalleled combination of high sensitivity, rapid response and extended probe life which makes it ideally suited for this application. This Quicksand system is ideally installed as an on-line system, but is also available with a datalogger option.
