INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORS FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENT APPLICATIONS

摘要

Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention implement integrated environmental sensors that can operate in rigorous environments. In one embodiment, an integrated environmental sensor includes: at least one sensor and a substrate; where: the at least one sensor is disposed on the substrate; the at least one sensor can detect at least two environmental properties including: the surrounding temperature; the surrounding pressure; the flow rate of surrounding fluids; and the surrounding composition; the at least one sensor is capable of detection in an environment that has: a temperature greater than 150°C; a pressure greater than 100 bar; and/or an inclusion of one of liquid hydrocarbons, H2S, CO2, and sulfur species; and the substrate can withstand an environment characterized by at least one of: a temperature greater than 150°C; a pressure greater than 100 bar; and/or an inclusion of one of liquid hydrocarbons, H2S, CO2, and sulfur species.
