Abstract
A pipeline contaminant monitoring apparatus that includes a filter housing and probe configured to isokinetically sample a portion of a pipeline gas stream. The filter housing has a filter configured to trap solid contaminants within the gas stream. A first pressure sensor is located upstream of the filter and a second pressure sensor is located downstream of the filter. A processor is coupled to the first and second pressure sensors. The processor is configured to determine a solid contaminant concentration level in the gas stream based on a rate of change of the pressure drop sensed across the filter.
