ABLE Nucleonics picked for Level Measurement on Suncor HANZE F2A Platform

Suncor (formerly Petro-Canada) has recently installed a new desander skid for their gas well on the Hanze Platform, in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, approx 200 km North-West of Den Helder. Suncor has already utilised the ABLE Nucleonic equipment on another platform and therefore specified the same equipment for Hanze, maintaining continuity. The desander skid duty is to prevent sand being carried over in to the process lines. On the Hanze gas well, the gas flow comes in to the desander vessel and any sand entrained in the flow would fall out of the flow and fill up the desander vessel. The nucleonic level detector has been installed as a high level trip/alarm on this vessel.
