METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MULTI-PHASE FLUID FLOW METERING UTILIZING ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE

摘要

In one aspect, the present invention relates to a multi-phase flow meter. The multi-phase flow meter includes a perforated orifice plate disposed between an upstream pipe section and a downstream pipe section. A first electrode and a second electrode are disposed in the downstream pipe section. An impedance-measuring device is electrically coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode. The perforated orifice plate, in combination with the impedance-measuring device, measures a flow rate of at least one of a first component and a second component of a mixture flowing through the upstream pipe section and the downstream pipe section.
