Petroleum stream monitoring means and method

摘要

Apparatus and method for monitoring a petroleum stream includes stratifying the petroleum stream into substantially liquid and gas streams. Predetermined parameters of the stratified petroleum stream are sensed and signals are provided accordingly. A sample of the liquid stream of the stratified petroleum stream is taken and parameters of the sample stream are also sensed with representative signals provided by sensors. Circuitry provides signals representative of the water faction, the gas faction, and the oil faction of the petroleum stream in accordance with the signals from all of the sensors.
