<p>Microwave water-in-crude monitoring system measures the percent quantity of fresh or salt water in crude oil flowing in a pipe line. A measuring cell is arranged with the pipe so that the crude oil flows through the cell. A microwave transmitter subsystem is arranged with the cell so that microwave energy is transmitted through the cell. A microwave receiving subsystem provides a signal corresponding to received microwave energy. Appts connected to the microwave receiver provides an indication of the percentage of water in the crude oil. Arrangement provides an accurate and easy way of measuring the water content of a continuous flow of crude oil along a pipe, without affecting the flow in any adverse way.</p> |
