offering of automation and control solutions for the oil and gas industry. For more
than 55 years, hydrocarbon producers have relied upon the Bettis™ product brand
as an added assurance of safety, reliability and performance. Bettis innovations
have set the brand apart and provided our clients with savings in both time and
money.
Emerson Process
Management –
Valve Automation
is a recognized
leader in oil and gas
flow automation
solutions.
The Bettis Multiport
Flow Selector is the
latest concept and
the preferred choice
in production test
manifold design.
The Multiport Flow
Selector is compact,
economical and
reliable.
The Bettis Multiport Flow Selector (MPFS) provides a cost effective and compact
means to improve production management and well optimization. The MPFS
allows the selecting and diverting of well fluids from an individual well to a single
test outlet, flow loop or sampling device. Connecting up to seven flow lines, the
Multiport Flow Selector allows the combined fluids to flow through a separate
group outlet, while simultaneously isolating any single well for testing. The unique
flow selector is ideal for a variety of oil, gas and process applications and can be
used either as a standalone device or with a multiphase meter. The MPFS can also
be used for water injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects. It provides
control simplicity in an environment where size, weight and reliability are all key
factors. The Multiport Flow Selector reduces the costs of installation, operation and
maintenance of the well test system throughout its life cycle.
Multiport Flow Selector Application And Features
• More compact than either conventional two-way or three-way valve manifolds
• Reduces number of isolation valves in production/test manifolds
• Available with a multitude of trims and surface treatments for all operating
environments
• Available with two-wire communication for remote control and status
indication
• Reduced installation, operating and maintenance costs
• Fitted with Bettis Multiport Control Actuator (MPA)
• Field adjustable seal/seat with various materials for adverse service conditions
• Operating temperature range:
-20°F to +392°F (-29°C to +200°C)

Bettis Multiport Actuator (MPA)
The Bettis Multiport Actuator (MPA) is an electronic system specifically designed to control and monitor the operation of the
Multiport Flow Selector. It combines an exclusive solid state motor starter with control software to provide precise positioning
of the Multiport Flow Selector within +/- one degree of the selected port, retaining that position even in the event of a power
loss. The Multiport Actuator features include:
• Certified explosion proof
– Class I, Div I, Groups C & D
– EEx d IIB T4
Local Display
Module (LDM)
• Operating temperature range:
– 58°F to +149°F (-50°C to +65°C)
• Heavy duty gearbox with capacity
of 3000 ft lbs
Electrical Enclosure
• Wide range of 4-pole motors
available for any voltage or torque

Modular Versatility
Historically, connecting individual production wells or flowlines to a test separator
required a multitude of valves that had to be opened by hand. In addition to
the valves and shutoff devices, the system required considerable piping. The
conventional two-way or three-way systems cost more initially, required higher
operating costs, needed more maintenance and downtime and added to the
personnel risks. The Multiport Flow Selector, with automated actuated control, is
safer, less expensive, lighter weight and more compact than conventional systems.
