The Yokogawa Distributed Temperature Sensor is Used to Monitor Temperature, Leaks, and Flow in Oil/Gas
The
Yokogawa DTSX200 distributed temperature sensor (DTS) is used to monitor
temperature, leaks, and flow in oil/gas downhole, pipeline, LNG/refinery
tank/reactor vessel, fire detection, and other industrial thermal applications.
Released in October 2011, the DTSX200 is the first distributed temperature
sensor with a STARDOM field controller option, which improves production
efficiency by working together with production control systems. The DTSX200 is
being field tested for oil/gas in-well applications by some major oil companies.
The DTSX200 is also being proposed for pipeline and tank leak detection systems.
Yokogawa developed the DTSX200 using optical measurement technologies that it
acquired over the years in the measurement field, and has combined it with the
STARDOM field controller for additional measurement, control, and data
communication capabilities. Yokogawa is the only company that provides an
integrated automated solution comprised of the DTSX200, DCS, SCADA, and field
instruments.
The DTSX200's modular design allows interchangeable configurations with up to 16
channels, the Yokogawa STARDOM field control option, and multiple power
supplies. With an operating temperature of -40 degrees C to +65 degrees C, it
can be used in all regions worldwide. The DTSX200's low power consumption and
wide operating temperature make it ideal for installation in remote locations
and harsh environments, utilizing a standalone outdoor housing, solar power, and
wireless communication.
