Project Number 14
Date of Summary September 30, 1982
Subject Fluidic Sensor for Hydrocarbon & Hydrogen Sulfide Gas
Performing Activity TriTec Corporation
Principal Investigator Mr. George Stevens
Contracting Agency Harry Diamond Laboratories
Estimated Completion Complete
Description Develop technology for sensing hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon gas on an offshore structure by means of a fluidic gas concentration sensor.
Progress Complete. The project was deemed complete because of improvements in electronic sensing systems. Fluidic techniques were designed and evaluated as detectors of hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon gas. Experiments with the fluidic gas concentration sensor conclude that a resistor bridge circuit appears to be the most appropriate but several technical problems need be overcome, such as signal to noise from fluid flow.
