Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. A method for detecting, comprising the steps of:

installing an apparatus, according to claim 1 in a flowing medium, said flowing medium being comprised of free hydrocarbons, dissolved hydrocarbons, and solids;
emitting said incident absorption and scatter beam through said sapphire tube from said absorption and scatter wavelength emitter;
absorbing said incident absorption and scatter beam so as to identify said free hydrocarbons, said dissolved hydrocarbons, and said solids;
scattering said incident absorption and scatter beam so as to detect said free hydrocarbons and said solids;
receiving said first absorption and scatter transmitted beam from said incident absorption and scatter beam with said first detector;
receiving said second absorption and scatter transmitted beam from said incident absorption and scatter beam with said second detector,

wherein said incident absorption and scatter beam has a selected absorption and scatter wavelength for targeted absorption measurements;
emitting said incident fluorescence beam through said sapphire tube from said fluorescence wavelength emitter;
exciting said free hydrocarbons and said dissolved hydrocarbon to generate said fluorescence excited beam;
receiving said fluorescence transmitted beam from said incident fluorescence beam with said first receiver;
receiving said fluorescence excited beam from said sapphire tube with said second receiver so as to detect said free hydrocarbons and said dissolved hydrocarbons,

wherein said incident fluorescence beam has a selected fluorescence wavelength for desired excited fluorescence measurements;
monitoring transmitted intensity from said lens;
automatically compensating measurements from said first detector and said second detector according to said transmitted intensity;
determining said measurements from said first detector and said second detector being within a predetermined threshold; and
activating said cleaning apparatus so as to clean said sapphire tube and said lens.
