Abstract

The measurement of crude oil production of crude oil storage tanks has been a hot issue in the petrochemical industry, while crude oil storage tanks usually contain oil, water, oil and water mixture, as well as sediment and other media. Domestic measurement methods generally have poor stability, low accuracy and most of them can not realize the level measurement of multiphase media within the tank, this paper presents that the weight of crude oil can be measured based on the density method, the density value of oil and water mixture can be obtained by differential pressure transmitter and ultrasonic level sensor, thereby the crude oil production accurately in the tank could be calculated precisely.
