Abstract:
1. A multicomponent fluid composition monitoring and compositional control system for monitoring and adjusting the concentration of water in a multicomponent fluid composition, said monitoring and compositional control system comprising: (a) an analyzer unit constructed and arranged to monitor the concentration of water in a multi-component fluid using a real-time Karl Fischer titration; (b) a sampling system constructed and arranged to automatically retrieve a sample of a multi-component fluid from a fluid-using process facility and deliver said sample to said analyzer unit; and (c) a control unit, constructed and arranged to compare the results of the real-time Karl Fisher titration to pre-programmed specifications and responsively control dispensing of water from a source of water into the multicomponent fluid of said fluid-using process facility; said monitoring and compositional control system including a first connection adapted for coupling with the fluid-using process facility to enable flow of multicomponent fluid from the fluid-using process facility to the sampling system, and a second connection adapted for coupling the control unit with the fluid-using process facility to control dispensing of water to the multicomponent fluid of the fluid-using processing facility; said analyzer unit including at least one electrode for effecting the Karl Fisher titration; and a sampling chamber arranged to receive multicomponent fluid from the fluid-using process facility.
