A portable gauging station for oil-water is a device that is used to measure the amount of oil and water present in a given sample. This is an important tool for companies and organizations that work with oil, such as oil refineries, shipping companies, and oil spill response teams.
The gauging station typically consists of a sampling device, a separation chamber, and measurement instruments. The sampling device is used to collect a sample of the mixture of oil and water, and the separation chamber is used to separate the oil and water into two distinct layers. The measurement instruments are used to determine the volume of each layer and the proportion of oil and water in the sample.
Portable gauging stations are designed to be lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for use in remote locations or in emergency situations. They can be battery-operated or powered by a generator, and some models can be operated using solar power.
The accuracy and reliability of the gauging station depend on the quality of the measurement instruments and the separation process. Some gauging stations use advanced technologies such as ultrasonic sensors, optical sensors, or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to achieve high levels of accuracy and precision.
