The measured vortex shedding frequency is translated to a vapor flow rate:• Assuming single phase gas• Using measured steam quality (based on • Using measured steam quality (based on
the vortex peak quality factor)• Known liquid hold-up based on two phase
flow simple model (derived from OLGA)• Assuming two phase flow to calculate the

Conclusions wet steam
High steam quality (>0.98) errors in flow:• less than 3% for velocities above 7 m/s• between 2 and 7 m/s errors less than 5%
Lower steam qualities (<0.98) errors in flow: • increased to 60% without correction• With steam quality correction :
– less than 10% for velocities above 7 m/s– between 2 and 7 m/s less than 20%

Way forward
Test performance under field conditions:• Steam tests only covered ‘end of life’ field
conditions in Shell Canada• No (affordable) test rig can deliver such high flows• Bench mark field test: steam test separator
Mature and further validate technology:• Test robustness current algorithms field conditions • Improve current algorithms to reduce steam
quality errors down to +/- 10% (currently +/- 20%)
