Abstract

According to some embodiments, an apparatus and method are provided for detecting the composition of a fluid. An alternating electromagnetic field may be applied to the fluid and distortions in the electromagnetic field are compared with predetermined, expected distortion “signatures” for particular components at particular concentrations. The presence and concentration of the components in the fluid may be detected by detecting these distortion signatures.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus for fluid content monitoring, the apparatus comprising:

a monitoring module connected to:

a first system for monitored fluid flow turbulence level transformation and transformed fluid flow into the monitoring module; and

a second system for fluid flow turbulence level restoration and fluid outflow from the monitoring module,

wherein a monitored fluid flow is monitored by a RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module, the RLC circuit feed element comprising a core with a pulsed electrical magnet,

wherein the first system comprises an inlet conical reflector comprising a peak pointing toward an inlet of the monitoring module, the inlet conical reflector disposed coaxially to the RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first vessel for fluid flow, the first vessel comprising the first system;

a second vessel for fluid flow, the second vessel comprising the second system; and

a third vessel for fluid flow, the third vessel comprising a monitoring module hydraulic system,

wherein the first, second, and third vessels are in fluid communication.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first vessel for fluid flow, the first vessel comprising the first system;

a horizontal component comprising a monitoring module hydraulic system; and

a second vessel for fluid flow, the second vessel comprising the second system, wherein the first vessel comprises a vertical component, wherein the second vessel comprises a vertical component, and wherein the horizontal component connects the first vessel to the second vessel.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the horizontal component comprises at least one cylindrically shaped duct.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the RLC circuit feed element is installed coaxially to the horizontal component of the communicating vessels.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the feed element is a solenoid connected to power supply and control systems.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second system comprises an outlet conical reflector comprising a peak pointing toward an outlet of the monitoring module, the outlet conical reflector disposed coaxially to the RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

an outlet conical reflector comprising cone peak pointing toward an outlet of the monitoring module, the reflector disposed coaxially to the RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module; and

a horizontal component connecting a first vessel comprising the first system to a second vessel comprising the second system, the horizontal component disposed in the RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module,

wherein the inlet conical reflector, outlet conical reflector, and horizontal component comprise components forming the dynamic core of a pulsed electromagnet.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first vessel, second vessel, and a hydraulic system of at least the monitoring module are in fluid communication via two vertical components and one horizontal component connecting the first vessel to the second vessel, the horizontal component comprising:

at least one cylindrically shaped duct, and;

at least one solenoid disposed coaxially to the duct, the solenoid comprising the RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module.

10. An apparatus for fluid content monitoring, the apparatus comprising:

a monitoring module connected to:

a first system for monitored fluid flow turbulence level transformation and transformed fluid flow into the monitoring module; and

a second system for fluid flow turbulence level restoration and fluid outflow from the monitoring module,

wherein a monitored fluid flow is monitored by a RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module, the RLC circuit feed element comprising a core with a pulsed electrical magnet,

wherein the second system comprises an outlet conical reflector comprising a peak pointing toward an outlet of the monitoring module, the outlet conical reflector disposed coaxially to the RLC circuit feed element of the monitoring module.
