Embodiments generally relate to froth measurement apparatus, and related methods and systems. An example apparatus comprises: an elongate first housing portion; and a series of sensor probes positioned along the first housing portion, each of the sensor probes having a probe body extending away from the first housing portion by a distance and comprising first and second electrodes for measuring changes in electrical potential associated with froth and/or bubbles. The sensor probes comprise signal processing circuitry coupled to the probe bodies to receive analog output signals from the probe bodies and to generate digital output signals based on the analog output signals. The apparatus comprises at least one processor configured to receive the digital output signals or sensor information based on the digital output signals and configured to determine at least one froth parameter over a sampling period based on the digital output signals or the sensor information.

Interface detection device and system for dispersed multi-phase fluids

A device () for detecting settled solids () in a conduit () for transporting slurry. The device () comprises a housing () positionable to define at least a segment of a flow path for the slurry. The device () comprises a reference temperature sensor () associated with the inside of the housingin order to measure an ambient temperature of the slurry within the conduit. The device () further comprises a plurality of heaters () spaced around part of the inside circumference housing () that are maintained at a target temperature that is higher titan the ambient temperature of the slurry.

Detecting settled solids in a conduit for transporting a slurry

Described embodiments relate to a hand-held portable sedimentation measurement device, comprising: a closeable fluid container having a container wall and defining a chamber to receive fluid for sedimentation measurement and defining a central longitudinal axis; multiple light sources disposed along the container and generally parallel to the longitudinal axis to direct light through the wall into the chamber; multiple light sensors disposed along the container arranged to detect light passing through the chamber from at least one of the light sources; a controller configured to control emission of light from the sources and to receive detection signals from the light sensors, wherein sedimentation measurements are derived from the light emitted from the light sources and the detection signals; a communication interface coupled to the controller and arranged to transmit sedimentation data to an external computing device; and a housing connected to the container and housing the controller and interface.
