OUR TECHNOLOGY
In basic terms, the Delta C Watercut Monitor is a highly sensitive capacitor constructed
from two coaxial electrodes which are separated by a fixed gap. As the water and oil
mixture (emulsion) flows through the gap, it acts as a dielectric (insulator) which enables
the capacitor to store a certain electrical charge. During process flow, variations in the
water/oil ratio affect the dielectric which causes the capacitance to vary. The Delta C
Watercut Monitor measures the Delta (change) in C (capacitance), hence the name of
our company.
The Delta C design brings capacitance measurement to an entirely new level of stability,
sensitivity and operating range. Our technology is so responsive it can effectively monitor
changes in water volume of 50ppm or less in many refined petroleum applications.
