Continuous Fuel Identification for Pipelines with a ClearView™ Photometer

From Guided Wave, Inc.
 

 

Reliable, affordable, real-time identification of petroleum products flowing in pipelines to minimize waste and assist in transitions.

Experimental: ClearView™ fiber optic filter photometer. Fiber optic flow probe with 1 cm optical path. Pair of 2 meter low-0H fiber optic cables. Near-infrared (NIR) spectra are rich in chemical information relating to the properties of fuels. Aromatic hydrocarbons produce the peak shown in the spectra to the right. Other hydrocarbon compounds produce features between 1190 and 1230 nm. These features are used to make fuel identification with greater confidence than single parameter methods.
