CPC G01N 9/00 (2013.01) | 20 Claims |
1. A sensor system for detecting a density and/or a concentration of a brine solution flowing in a conduit, the sensor system comprising:
a vertical pipe having a top and a bottom, the bottom of the vertical pipe in liquid communication with the conduit such that a diverted portion of the brine solution is received at the bottom of the vertical pipe from the conduit, and the top of the vertical pipe at atmospheric pressure;
a pressure sensor to detect a pressure of the brine solution in the vertical pipe and a pressure of a reference solution in the vertical pipe; and
processor circuitry configured to determine the density and/or the concentration of the brine solution based on the detected pressure of the brine solution filled to a fixed column height in the vertical pipe and a property of the reference solution, the property of the reference solution comprising the detected pressure of the reference solution filled to the fixed column height in the vertical pipe.
