  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING WATER CONTENT IN A HYDROCARBON FLUID
    Publication number: 20210102891
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring water content in a hydrocarbon fluid is provided. The method comprises: taking a first infrared measurement of the hydrocarbon fluid at a first temperature across at least one infrared absorption wavelength of water; taking a second infrared measurement of the hydrocarbon fluid at a second temperature across the at least one infrared absorption wavelength of water, the second temperature being different to the first temperature; determining a change between said first and second infrared measurements; and using the change between said first and second infrared measurements to determine the water content in the hydrocarbon fluid. Apparatus configurations for performing the method are described.
