Abstract:
1. A method for analyzing gas dissolved within a fluid filled asset, the method comprising: extracting fluid from the fluid filled asset; isolating the extracted fluid from the fluid filled asset using one of a valve or a pump; circulating the extracted fluid through a first fluid loop; passing the extracted fluid along a first side of at least one gas permeable membrane; extracting gas from a second side of the at least one gas permeable membrane; circulating the extracted gas through a second fluid loop, wherein the first fluid loop and the second fluid loop are separated by the at least one gas permeable membrane; controlling a pressure differential across the at least one gas permeable membrane to a predetermined pressure differential; providing the extracted gas to a gas analysis unit disposed within the second fluid loop; and periodically determining a chemical makeup of the extracted gas using the gas analysis unit.
