Cairn is designed for minimal maintenance, as all detectors are mounted externally on the vessel, avoiding direct contact with the process. A flexible mounting system allows for a straightforward yet robust installation, and the detectors remain easily accessible for any necessary maintenance. With multiple measur- ing points operating independently, issues with a single detector won’t disrupt the entire system's performance. Ease of use for the VEGA MDA system begins even earlier in the process; rapid com- missioning and calibration of the measuring system significantly reduce start-up times and costs. Additionally, extensive diagnostics via the PACTware® configuration software, along with its device type manager (DTM) and electronic device description (EDD) technolo- gies, connect the field devices and controllers to provide a clear, straightforward overview of the system's health. Sensor intelligence In the oil production industry, yield is influenced by more than just the volume of material that reaches the surface. There is a growing em- phasis on optimising raw materials before they head to the refining stage. This is why Cairn has taken a close look at every step of the crude oil processing journey.
With oil reserves dwindling and costs rising, Cairn Oil & Gas and Vedanta Ltd are driving yield gains in the Rajasthan desert.
One of the common issues that has received particular attention is slugging, the formation of plugs that hinder flow. The precise monitoring of separation layers in the slug catcher, facilitated by the VEGA radiometric system, enables ef- ficient operation of this critical separation pro - cess. This reliable measuring system performs effectively in extreme temperatures, preventing large solid slugs from being carried downstream. This helps protect downstream processes and components, ensuring the quality of crude
oil is maintained as it moves through pipelines to the sea for loading onto ships for further transport. VEGA is known for its long history of in- novation and is recognised as a global leader in measurement technology. The company is dedicated to precision and reliability, and its customised solutions have positively impacted businesses worldwide, improving processes, efficiency and quality standards. www.vega.com/en-za
