A fluid management apparatus and method, the apparatus comprising: a fluid conduit (4, 6) for the passage of a dispersion containing particulate matter; a laser arranged to provide laser light inside the fluid conduit (4, 6); wherein, in use, the laser light heats the particulate matter sufficiently to generate incandescence; one or more sensors (10) for detecting the incandescence of the particulate matter so as to determine a characteristic of the dispersion; and an electromagnetic wave generator operable to provide electromagnetic waves inside the fluid conduit (4, 6) at a position downstream of the laser light so as to vaporise at least a portion of the dispersion. |
