Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for measuring oil/water content in oil-water mixtures, regardless of the salinity of the mixture and regardless of air in the sensor pipe. In some embodiments, the oil content is measured using a dielectric sensor. It is determined whether the oil content is above or below a threshold. If the oil content is above the threshold, the oil content is reported using the measurement from the dielectric sensor. If the oil content is below the threshold, the oil content is reported using the measurement from the eddy current sensor. In some embodiments, which improve performance when there is air in the sensor pipe, two dielectric sensors with different geometries are used instead of the one dielectric sensor.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for measuring oil content of a fluid, comprising:\n at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system at least to: with a first dielectric sensor, measure a first frequency of the fluid in a pipe, wherein the first dielectric sensor comprises:\n a first electrode on a first side of the pipe; and \n a second electrode on a second side of the pipe, wherein the first side of the pipe is opposite the second side of the pipe; and \n with a second dielectric sensor, measure a second frequency the fluid, wherein the second dielectric sensor comprises:\n a first electrode on a top of the pipe; and \n a second electrode on a bottom of the pipe.
