Popis: A novel sensor developed by ABB for measuring the water/oil interface level in subsea gravity separators used in offshore oil and gas production allows better control of the separators' water outlet pumps. Designated ILMS, for Inductive Level Monitoring System, it represents a key technology for subsea processing. In addition, it can provide information on the quality of the separation process, enabling the amount of separation-enhancing chemical additives to be reduced. Operating costs and environmental impact are lower as a result.
