Monitoring System and Sight Port for Liquid-Gas Transport Line

摘要

A monitoring system for use in a liquid-gas mixture transport line includes a chamber containing a phase separator, a liquid flow measurement device downstream of the phase separator, a collector trap intermediate the phase separator and the flow measurement device, and an overflow opening downstream of the flow measurement device. A sight port is provided in the chamber. A chamber inlet is elevated in relation to the collector trap, the flow measurement device and a chamber outlet. In an embodiment of the invention, the chamber is double-walled with the sight port having a lens in each wall and a filler media, such as inert gas, between the lenses. In one embodiment, the filler media is heated to control formation of condensation or solid sulfur on the lens interior of the chamber. In other embodiments, a sight port of the present invention is provided in a liquid flow transport line.
