KROHNE highlights advanced entrained gas management technology for improved midstream operations
Beverly, MA (January 13, 2025) — KROHNE, a leading provider of measurement solutions for the oil and gas industry, highlights its innovative Entrained Gas Management (EGM) technology for Coriolis mass meters. This groundbreaking advancement addresses critical challenges in midstream operations, enhancing leak detection capabilities and improving overall operational efficiency.
KROHNE’s EGM technology revolutionizes midstream measurements. In the high-stakes world of custody transfer measurements on large midstream pipelines, accuracy is paramount. Every unaccounted volume can result in significant financial losses or undetected leaks. The EGM technology tackles a persistent issue in the industry: the presence of entrained gas in liquid pipelines or liquid in gas lines, which can compromise the performance of traditional Coriolis meters.
KROHNE's OPTIMASS EGM-enabled meters offer several advantages. The technology allows for continuous measurement, enabling uninterrupted tracking of mass flow and density even during two-phase flow conditions. This continuous measurement and diagnostic information empowers operators to promptly identify anomalies and address potential leaks. The ability to distinguish between entrained gas-related issues and other causes significantly reduces the number of false alarms. Furthermore, KROHNE's EGM technology integrates seamlessly with comprehensive leak detection systems (LDS), enhancing overall pipeline integrity.
The EGM technology represents a significant leap forward in midstream operations. By enabling Coriolis meters to function effectively even in challenging multi-phase flow scenarios, KROHNE is helping clients improve their operational efficiency, reduce financial risks, and enhance safety measures.
The introduction of this technology is particularly crucial for large-diameter pipeline applications, where the stakes are highest. KROHNE's EGM-enabled meters provide the accuracy, reliability, and real-time insights necessary for maintaining optimal operational efficiency and mitigating leak-related risks.
