Chemical Injection

Six Degrees of Customisation

Litre Meter supplies a range of flow meters for Oil & Gas applications. For quantity orders, they specialise in customising a range of flowmeters to meet specific customer requirements. A good example of this is flow meters for subsea use, i.e. with the ability to work subsea and transmit a flow signal to the surface. […]

What is a demulsifier?

A demulsifier is a type of chemical additive used in various industries, particularly in oil and gas production, to separate emulsions. Emulsions are stable mixtures of two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, where small droplets of one liquid are dispersed within the other. In the case of oil and water emulsions, demulsifiers are […]

Pour Point Depressants – keeping the oil flowing

Charles Wemyss, Litre Meter’s CEO and pour point expert explains why measuring pour point depressants (PPD) can keep oil flowing. What is the Pour Point? First off, what is the pour point? It’s the lowest temperature at which liquid is still pourable. There is an ASTM test (D-97) which defines the pour point. According to […]

What’s the best chemical injection flow meter?

Litre Meter VFF rotary piston positive displacement flowmeters have proven to be the foremost solution for chemical injection flow metering applications. They are able to handle the wide range of flows at pressures from a few bar up to 10,000 and 20,000 psi (690 and 1,380 bar) and higher. The FlowPod instrument has been developed after […]

Chemical Injection Flow Meters

Chemical injection is the process designed to assist in the production of oil where various chemicals are injected into the crude oil to provide a degree of protection.  For example; a scale inhibitor will prevent the build-up of scale on the pipes and fittings used to transport the oil on its journey to the refinery.  […]

Flow meters for Sodium Hypochlorite – Hazardous Area, too

Chemical Injection process: Sodium hypochlorite We look at the chemical injection process of injecting sodium hypochlorite into sea water, in a variety of settings. Sodium hypochlorite is a green/yellow liquid with the characteristic smell of chlorine. It was first used as a bleaching agent and was then discovered to be effective in controlling wound infections. Subsequently, it is […]
