摘要：

In the oil industry, it is important to measure the water fraction in liquid hydrocarbons in oil pipelines for optimising operation and transportation, e.g. loading/unloading of oil tankers, where the flow rate is variable. As a feasibility study an electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) sensor has been used for on-line water fraction measurement. Data from different electrode combinations, e.g. adjacent electrodes and opposite electrodes are combined. Preliminary results indicate that ECT can be used for measuring the fraction of water in oil with 0.05% error in a range of water-in-oil up to 10%.
