NON-INTRUSIVE ULTRASONIC SYSTEM FOR INTERFACE MONITORING IN PRIMARY OIL SEPARATORS

Abstract: a system for monitoring fluids in separator vessels is disclosed, comprising a processing unit () comprising a signal processor () and a display unit (), and a plurality of pairs of ultrasonic transducers () in communication with the signal processor (). ultrasonic signals are generated for each pair of transducers, and only the highest intensity captured for each pair is considered. this avoids problems such as multiple reflections on the walls or temperature variations. a graphical representation using the considered signals is provided to aid in the visualization and interpretation of the results.
