MOD-4100 All-in-One Crude Oil Analyzer
The MOD-4100 by Modcon Systems represents a breakthrough in crude oil on-line analysis, combining two or more measurement technologies into a single analyzer system for accurate, real-time monitoring of critical crude oil parameters — housed in an outdoor stainless steel enclosure with an integral sample conditioning system.
Key Features
Multi-Technology Measurement
- Combines NIR spectroscopy, X-ray transmission, and conductivity in one system
- Measures salt concentration (ASTM D-3230), total sulfur (ASTM D-4294), distillation curve, SARA, viscosity, water content, TAN, RVP, and density
- Salt measuring range: 0-150 PTB; total sulfur range: 0.02-6%
- Salt analyzer accuracy: 2% of full scale
Process Optimization
- Enables on-line optimization of desalter process conditions in response to crude oil cargo fluctuations
- Reduces water, chemicals, and energy consumption in desalters
- Monitors crude oil homogeneity and compliance with specifications
- Reduces corrosion and prevents plugging and fouling of pipelines
Versatile Deployment
- Can be installed before, between, and after desalters for maximum efficiency
- Supports crude blending by enabling on-line adjustment of blend ratios
- Provides on-line quality monitoring from wellhead through storage and pipeline transportation
- ATEX Zone 1 certified
Connectivity
- Output: Modbus over TCP/IP (or serial); 4-20 mA (optional)
- Power supply: 100-130 VAC or 200-220 VAC, 50-60 Hz
