OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, OF 0IL-IN-WATER MONITORING OFFSHORE
Abstract
Petrobras has been testing on-line oil-in-water monitors in offshore Campos Basin, Brazil, aimed at establishing cost effective, accurate and reliable operational procedures and at the same time complying with the legislation for the discharge of produced water Into the marine environment. There are many available technologies and some were chosen according to their adequacy to measure oil and grease (O&G) in produced water and re-injection water offshore. The need of Freon replacements and alternative laboratory analysis methods are evident. Systems based on ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF), infrared absorption, infrared scattering and Laser scattering techniques are among the targets of these field tests which seek simplicity, easiness of sample conditioning and low sensitivity to variations due to processed oil blending. This paper intends to present the status of the first results and the operational perspectives from the use of on-line oil-in-water monitoring systems.
