Extraction cleaner and gas system check

This invention describes an apparatus for taking gas samples from a fluid flowline, like those in oil and gas operations. It uses an extraction tube to draw gas to a gas analysis system. If the system suspects the tube is blocked, it closes a valve to protect the analysis system and then injects a cleaning fluid into the extraction tube to clear the blockage.

Why it matters: Since 2015, advancements in industrial sensor technology and compact, ruggedized control systems have made automated monitoring and precise fluid injection for cleaning more reliable and easier to integrate into existing oil and gas infrastructure. This could simplify the implementation of the system's automated blockage detection and cleaning cycle.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedGas analysis system, fluid injection, control logic
