Patent ID: 8707779

Claim:
An internal liquid measurement and monitoring system for a three phase separator comprises: said three phase separator being penetrated by a water extension fitting; a water dump valve being mounted outside of said three phase separator; a water differential pressure device being located inside of said three phase separator; said water differential pressure device and said water dump valve being in serial fluid communication with each other through said water extension fitting; a first sensor being in parallel fluid communication with said water differential pressure device by a high water pressure sensing line and a low water pressure sensing line; said first sensor being electronically connected to a remote transmission unit (RTU) flow computer; said three phase separator being penetrated by an oil extension fitting; an oil dump valve being mounted outside of said three phase separator; an oil differential pressure device being located inside of said three phase separator; said oil differential pressure device and said oil dump valve being in serial fluid communication with each other through said oil extension fitting; a second sensor being in parallel fluid communication with said oil differential pressure device by a high oil pressure sensing line and a low oil pressure sensing line; said second sensor being electronically connected to said RTU flow computer; a temperature measuring device for said three phase separator being electronically connected to said RTU flow computer; and said RTU flow computer being communicably coupled to a supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA).
