Genesis™ Models ED1 & ED2 Multiphase Detectors

Genesis^™ Models ED1 & ED2 Multiphase Detectors

The Genesis^™ Models ED1 & ED2 detectors are Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)-based, 24 VDC level detectors designed to accurately measure the various layers in interface level measurement applications. Encompassing a number of significant engineering accomplishments, these leading-edge level detectors are designed to provide measurement performance well beyond that of many of the more traditional technologies.

Genesis models are designed to measure multiple phases in applications with thick and dynamic emulsion layers:

• Vapor phase (based on tank dimensions)
• Total level (e.g., hydrocarbon liquid)
• Top of emulsion layer
• Bottom of emulsion layer (e.g., water level)
• Sediment

Technology

Genesis™ Multiphase Detector

TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) uses puises of electromagnetic energy to measure distances or levels. When a pulse reaches a dielectric discontinuity (created by the surface of a process medium), part of the energy is reflected. The larger the dielectric discontinuity, the larger the amplitude of the reflection.

Features

• 24 VDC interface detector with four (4) 4-20mA outputs for convenient control of top level, top of emulsion, water level, and sediment
• Concurrent Top-Down and Bottom-Up signal generation
• Changing media characteristics have no effect on level measurement
• Calibration or moving of levels in the vessel is not required
• 4-button keypad and graphic LCD display allow for viewing of configuration parameters and performance curves
• Proactive diagnostics for scheduling maintenance and mitigating unplanned shutdowns
• No moving parts in the process, reducing measurement errors and downtime
• Detects four levels with one top-mounted process connection
• Probe designs are available up to +400F / 1000psi (+200C / 70 bar)
• Proprietary and innovative software algorithms for interpreting signals

Options

• Electronics can be remote mounted up to 100 feet (30 meters) away from the probe
• Offered with Class 1 Div 1 and Class 1 Div 2 approvals
