Camera has UL/CSA certification
The MIC1-440 PTZ camera is now Underwriter Laboratories/Canadian Standards Association certified, allowing the unit to fulfill an added level of explosion-protected qualification and meet regional requirements for hazardous locations such as oil and gas fields, chemical processing plants, and refineries.
Its 320° tilt enables viewing above and below the camera for comprehensive site surveillance, while IP68/NEMA 4X ratings help ensure high performance imaging in harsh environmental conditions, the company says.

New well test separator
The new CleanPhase well test separator system enables optimum retention of fluids, allowing for cleaner phases and better measurements.
The firm says its system is a rejuvenated approach to phase isolation during the separation process. The new generation well test separator allows flow-back activities to be conducted through increasing safety, reducing manual intervention, and providing seamless operations.
The firm notes that an operator in North Africa tested 22 wells using the separator, which accurately measured flow rates from wells producing gas, condensate, and water.
The separator has SmartWeir technology that uses radar unobtrusively to monitor liquid levels and adjust the weir to accommodate well effluents. It also allows on line separation for the entire job, from the beginning of cleanup until the end of the well test.
The first reservoir fluids are identified sooner than with traditional methods, allowing the well testing to begin earlier, the company points out. It allows fast cleanups by flowing the well to a higher-pressure vessel than is possible with conventional setups, which require flowing to a low-pressure surge tank. This eliminates the need for and risk of pressurized storage tanks, the company says.
The separator handles high water cut and fluctuating flow rates without slowing down the process, which leads to the isolation and measurement of purer single-phase fluids. The separator provides high-quality and high-capacity phase separation for fast cleanups, better measurements, and increased certainty, according to the company.
It can operate as a stand-alone unit or in combination with the PhaseTester multiphase flowmeter.
