Title: Innovations of Startup Ian in Multiphase Flow Rate Monitoring
Introduction
Startup Ian is an innovative inventor based in Tunbridge Wells, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of flow rate monitoring, particularly in the petroleum industry. His work focuses on developing methods and means to accurately monitor the flow rates of composite petroleum streams.
Latest Patents
Startup Ian holds a patent for a groundbreaking invention titled "Multiphase flow rate monitoring means and method." This patent describes a flow rate monitor that includes a test line containing a chamber, which is declinated at a predetermined angle. This design allows for the stratification of liquid and gas to occur within the chamber. A sample stream is extracted from the liquid in the chamber and sent to a separator, which effectively separates the gas from the sample stream, yielding both a gas output and a liquid output. The system also monitors the water cut of the liquid output while sensing the pressure and temperature of the composite petroleum stream. The volumetric flow rate of the composite stream is continuously monitored, providing a flow rate signal, while the density of the stream is also assessed. This comprehensive monitoring allows for the determination of the flow rates of all three components of the composite petroleum stream.
Career Highlights
Startup Ian is currently employed at Texaco Inc., where he applies his expertise in flow rate monitoring technologies.
