Why monitor with MCI's Veriflow™ IIot Technology?
Simplicity
Veriflow™ is set to transform the injection pump monitoring industry with its unique turnkey design. Whether it’s used in a stand alone application or integrated into existing SCADA systems Veriflow™ is designed to perform tasks quickly and effortlessly. When working on-site, the simple three-button layout allows for pump flow rate and tank level feedback immediately with the push of a button. This greatly reduces manual efforts to inspect injection systems. When remote communications are used the system will automatically identify and report the status of your injection pump and tank level inventory levels, with a flexible schedule that works for you.
Accuracy
Until recently manual glass tube rate gauges have been widely considered the gold standard for pump verification and flow rate detection. When used correctly they can often provide good information but require trained personnel and time consuming manual interaction, especially when monitoring low pump rates. Wouldn’t it be nice if a system could verify pump performance 24/7 with greater accuracy and eliminate manual interaction? Now you can.
Veriflow™ uses Patent Pending stroke detection algorithms and hardware to accurately detect individual strokes during a pumps operation, not only can it detect a stroke but it breaks down each stroke into specific intervals. You might ask why this is important? One of the major downfalls of manual site glasses or other electronic time based column meters is they do not start and end drop intervals at the same portion of a stroke (start of drop, end of drop, etc.) this leads to significant flow errors when daily flow rate computations are performed. Veriflow™ is able to provide repeatable flow rate accuracy to within +/- 0.5% total flow, with a flow sensing range of 0.01 to >1000 Litres per day. (0.002 to 264 Gallons per day). Now, accurate flow rate cycles can be calculated with only a small column drop (<50mm). Say goodbye to long wait times.
Safety
Unlike traditional site glasses that use a glass calibration column, Veriflow™ uses a rigid stainless steel column which is far more robust and less likely to break or leak over time.
Operational Efficiencies
By now it should be fairly clear what Veriflow™ can do in regards to pump and tank notifications, but we wanted to point out a few more unique advantages. Stroke sensing technology allows the system to break down each pump stroke into event sequences, this enabled the development of additional algorithms that notify you if a pumps check valve has failed or if an electric drive has failed altogether. Unlike in-line flow switches, we can even detect when a pressure relief valve is bypassing. Talk about neat data. These verification routines run in the background automatically without any programming or setup.
Quick Deployment
There are many end to end communication protocols used throughout industry and that is why Veriflow™ ships standard with a variety of communication options to suits the broadest range of existing enterprise technologies without the need to start from scratch. From single PLC’s to large scale SCADA infrastructure you can be sure Veriflow™ will connect.
Or, if existing SCADA systems are not available and you would prefer to monitor your pumps and tanks with a standalone solution, we’ve got you covered. Veriflow™ is available with an optional two-way 3G/LTE cellular platform interface that allows E&P, Service technicians and Chemical service providers complete control over their monitoring programs in a flash.
We want your Veriflow™ deployment to be quick and simple. Our installation team will do its best to configure every system to work right out of the box. Every user configurable setting is easily accessible through our on-board menu to allow system changes anytime they’re needed. Change monitoring routine frequency, sensor calibration or adjust tank fill notification levels anytime with a few button clicks to ensure optimized performance in the field.
