Interface Detection You Can Trust
Automatic tank dewatering and desalter control with the ID-200
The ID-200 has helped us optimise interface control without constant manual intervention. Product recovery has improved, wastewater loading has reduced, and our operators have much greater confidence when making process adjustments. It’s become an important part of our operation.
Since installing the Agar ID-200 we’ve seen a noticeable reduction in hydrocarbon losses and far fewer interface-related issues. Operators no longer have to second-guess where the interface is, which has made the entire desalting process more stable and consistent.
id-200
Automatic tank dewatering works best when operators can clearly see the oil, water and emulsion interface. The Agar ID-200 gives refinery teams continuous measurement, helping stabilise draw-off, reduce hydrocarbon losses and improve wastewater control.
Stable separation
Better desalter and tank control starts with reliable interface visibility.
