Architecture.

The Spin Echo NMR flow meter is a modular metrology system designed for long term measurement integrity in wet gas and multiphase environments.

Metrology Architecture

Modular Hardware Design.

Full bore polymer flow path for non intrusive multiphase sensing
001

Optimized Flow Path

Full bore measurement volume.

Spin Echo utilizes a standard type approved polymer flow tube with zero internal intrusions. Designed for inline operation, bypass configurations are preferred to enable calibration and maintenance without production impact.

Operational Implication

Reduced flow assurance risk and simplified integrity management.

Modular NMR sensing probes positioned externally to the hydrocarbon flow

Non Intrusive Sensing Probes

Molecular sensing without process disturbance.

Probes are positioned externally to the flow bore. This modular architecture allows the system to be configured for wet gas or multiphase applications without the need for continuous sampling.

Operational Implication

High fidelity phase characterisation without separation infrastructure.

Static magnetic assembly designed for long term calibration stability
003

Static Magnet Assembly

Field stability achieved through fixed geometry.

A second generation magnetic architecture providing a uniform field without mechanical alignment. The system is inherently resistant to vibration and thermal cycling.

Operational Implication

Long term measurement stability with no routine recalibration.

004

Integrated Edge Processing

High speed signal quantification at the wellhead.

Integrated electronics perform high frequency signal acquisition and phase resolved analysis. Data is processed locally before being transmitted to the enterprise control system.

Operational Implication

Live operational insight with high availability in the energy sector.

Operational Capability

Engineered for measurement integrity.

Physics Based Sensing

Direct molecular measurement replaces empirical models and inferred correlations. Integrity is derived from NMR resonance signatures rather than pressure or temperature estimates.

Commercial Impact

Eliminate costly financial errors from over or under estimation.
