Embodiments of the present disclosure describe an inline demulsification system () including an inline flow conditioner () for separating a multiphase fluid into a liquid phase () and a gas phase (), wherein the liquid phase () includes an emulsion; and an ultrasonic wave device (), provided downstream from the flow conditioner (), including one or more ultrasonic probes () for emitting ultrasonic waves () towards the multiphase fluid, wherein the ultrasonic waves () demulsify at least a portion of the emulsion. Embodiments of the present disclosure also describe related systems and methods.

Inline demulsification device

Embodiments include a multiphase flowmeter system (). The multiphase flowmeter system () may include a first inline flow conditioner () for reducing a slip velocity between a liquid phase and a gas phase of a multiphase fluid, a flowmeter for measuring a flow rate of the multiphase fluid, a second inline flow conditioner () for separating the liquid phase and the gas phase of the multiphase fluid, a non-radioactive sensor system for measuring one or more of a gas void fraction of the multiphase fluid and a water-cut of the multiphase fluid, and a processor () for computing one or more flow rates of the multiphase fluid. Embodiments further include methods of measuring one or more flow rates of a multiphase fluid and other related methods, apparatuses, devices, and systems.

Multiphase flowmeter system with a non-radioactive sensor subsystem and methods thereof

A method and system for determination of contaminants, such as black powder, in a flowing fluid, such as natural gas, is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting a plurality of light beams over a spectrum of wavelengths through the flowing fluid and receiving a plurality of measurements relating to transmitted and scattered light beams over the spectrum of wavelengths. The received plurality of measurements are compared with a plurality of stored patterns and a result indicative of the determination of the contaminants is output.
