Profiler system and method for measuring multiphase fluid

Abstract

The profiler system and method measure multiphase fluid with or without a container. The profiler includes at least one sensor module. Each sensor module extends a set distance from an upper end to a lower end of the module. This set distance determines proximal and distal measurement zones corresponding to different portions of multiphase fluid. The zones can be aligned within the container to define a sample volume with a relative position from top to bottom within the container. The profiler measures fluid characteristics with location data based on the sample volume or zones so that a profile of the multiphase fluid includes position of the portions of multiphase fluid measured. The safety and accuracy of storage in a container or active flow in a flow connector or open water can be maintained, even as the multiphase fluid dynamically changes while in storage and while in active flow.
