Advanced Flow Control
About
Well Master has developed the first real-time plunger velocity control system, Advanced Flow Control (AFC). The traditional approach to understanding desired plunger velocity is based on operating within the "ideal" target range. However, the problem is that the control system only measures the average velocity from the start of the rise cycle to the end. Plunger velocity can vary enormously from the bottom to the top of the well, this control system assists in tackling this obstacle.
Designed for where good plunger velocity management is key for best plunger operating efficiency and production, where broken plungers and/or damage to surface equipment is prevalent, in low line pressure or high variable line pressure environments, when there large differences in flowing gas velocity from bottom to top of the well are present.
Features & Benefits
Increases safety by minimizing fast arrivals
Betters equipment integrity, causing fewer broken plungers and damaged surface equipment
Increases plunger life by controlling speeds extend plunger life, which eliminates wear due to excess speed.
Increases plunger effeciency by narrowing the velocity range over the entire trip
Quickly recovers from pressure upset conditions as wells line out automatically
Recuces operator intervention for plunger replacement and wellhead issues
Compatible with:
RTU Controllers w/ MODBUS
Conventional and cloud-based SCAD
