Flowmeters: The Unsung Heroes of Chemical Injection

Seasoned petroleum engineers are most likely aware of the importance of flowmeters when it comes to moderating chemical injection. But the substantial benefits that these sophisticated instruments provide cannot be understated. From dew point transmitters and clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters to handheld multi-purpose instruments with application-specific probes, JLC International provides some of the finest on the market. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits provided by flowmeters.

Precise Measurements During Chemical Injection

JLC International’s long list of cutting-edge product offerings fulfills sophisticated needs for various industries around the globe. But today, we’re going to focus on devices that assist with chemical injection. Leaders in the offshore oil and gas industry depend on innovative instruments, including flowmeters, for precise chemical injection during oil production. Without flowmeters monitoring the volume and flow of fluids used in chemical injection, oil companies would not be able to operate as efficiently as they do today.

How Flowmeters Have Improved Oil Production

Our rotary piston positive displacement VFF flowmeters allow large oil companies to moderate the flow of viscous and non-viscous fluids that are added to crude oil via chemical injection. Various chemicals are mixed into crude oil during the production process in order to control the quality and safety of the product — but without flowmeters providing finely-tuned control over the rate of flow, large volumes of oil would likely end up wasted due to quality and safety concerns. These sophisticated measuring instruments are must-have investments for businesses in many industries because, when dealing with massive amounts of sensitive fluids, fine measurements can radically reduce unnecessary waste, which can significantly boost a company’s bottom line.
