Abstract: A system for processing samples from a body of fluid. The system includes one or more sample bottles for acquiring a sample from the body of fluid. Each sample bottle initially retains a pre-filling fluid. Each sample bottle includes a fluidic inlet port and a bottle outlet port. Each sample bottle has an inlet check valve coupled to the fluidic inlet port, the inlet check valve configured to allow fluid from the body of fluid into a sample bottle via the fluidic inlet port when the pressure difference between the body of fluid and fluid within the sample bottle reaches a threshold. The system further includes at least one pump, the bottle outlet port of each sample bottle selectively coupled to the at least one pump via a different control valve. The at least one pump is configured, in a first configuration, to remove prefilling fluid from each selected sample bottle such that, for each selected sample bottle, the pressure difference threshold is reached and a sample from the body of fluid is acquired.

Abstract: A system for generating machine learning training data sets for fluid monitoring applications is provided. The system includes two or more containers, each container for storing a fluid sample with a known concentration of one or more additive chemical parameters. A fluidic controller independently controls the flow of the two or more fluid samples, through fluidic conduits, from their respective containers to a mixing unit, in such a way that the relative ratios of the two or more fluid samples delivered to the mixing unit is monitored. A mixer homogenizes the mixture of the two or more fluid samples in the mixing unit to create a homogenously mixed sample. A first sensor performs one or more measurements on the homogenously mixed sample. The system further includes a database and a processor.

Abstract: A reagent delivery and analysis system for receiving and analyzing a fluidic sample is provided. The system includes one or more reagent storage containers for holding the same or different reagents. A fluidic mixer is coupled to the one or more containers, each container coupled to the fluidic mixer via a different reagent conduit. Each reagent conduit includes a valve controlling flow of reagent from the container to the fluidic mixer. The fluidic mixer is further coupled to a fluid source. The fluidic mixer homogenizes a fluidic sample from the fluid source with reagent. A pressurization module selectively applies a pressure to at least one of the one or more containers via a pressurization fluid that is kept separate from the sample fluid, and to the reagent in the one or more containers. The pressure causes reagent to flow from a selected container into the fluidic mixer.

Abstract: A gas separation and detection tool for performing in situ analysis of borehole fluid is described. The tool operates by introducing a reagent to a test sample and causing the resulting mixture to flow through a microfluidic channel where optical testing is performed. The optical testing detects a change in a characteristic of the reagent in response to expose to one or more particular substances in the test sample. The test sample may be borehole fluid, a mixture of borehole fluid and scrubbing fluid subsequently mixed with reagent, a mixture of reagent and gas separated from borehole fluid, or a mixture of scrubbing fluid and gas separated from borehole fluid which is subsequently mixed with reagent. A membrane may be employed to separate one or more target gasses from the borehole fluid.
