Sampling & SmartMix® Jet Mixing Systems

Sampling Equipment

OGM’s UK facilities also manufacture our Maurer® Instruments range of liquid sampling equipment. Using designs originally developed with BP Exploration in the 1980s, the range became an industry standard.

Maurer® products have enjoyed an enviable worldwide reputation for engineering excellence and long term reliability, with instruments first installed over 30 years ago still providing dependable operation. Today the Maurer® product range includes cell samplers, insertion samplers, sample receivers and weigh scales.

Sampling Systems

A crucial factor in petroleum measurement is quality analysis. For this reason, liquid metering systems usually have an associated sampling system.

There are generally two types of sampling – either in-line sampling or bypass sampling and OGM has the expertise and experience to provide such systems to cover all operators requirements.

Generally for newer installations, the equipment proposed is based on the understanding that no additional process mixing is required in the sampling systems and that the process lines are already well mixed to acceptable C1/C2 ratios. This however, has not been verified by OGM and it may be necessary to undertake further calculations to determine if static mixing or the use of a jet mix system would be required to ensure true representative sampling for each of the product/fluid lines.

We provide manual, fast loop or isokinetic homogeneous mixing systems to ensure compliance with ISO 3171 using either clients nominated suppliers or our own range of Maurer® samplers and accessories as appropriate.
