SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE CONTENT OF WATER Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: monitoring the content of water in well fluid. SUBSTANCE: fluid from operating well is collected in accumulator and separated into layer of free water, emulsion with high content of water, and emulsion with high content of oil. Separated fluid flows through control device having electrodes facing fluid. Power source supplies alternating voltage and current through electrodes and formation of signal of voltage Vi and signal of induced current li; generator ensures formation of signal pH corresponding to phase angle; transducer connected to the other indicated electrode ensures measurement of voltage signal Vs, transducer ensuring signal T corresponding to fluid temperature; processor ensures formation of signal WC (water content) with consideration of signals Vi,Tl,pH,Vs and T and depending on whether the working fluid is emulsion with high content of water or oil. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 10 cl, 4 dwg
