Abstract: Traditionally a sample of liquid petroleum has been taken either manually or automatically and analyzed for water in accordance to the industry standards. On-line water measurement of liquid petroleum will provide real time knowledge of the water content of the liquid petroleum, and will afford the user the luxury of total automated measurement. The purpose of an On-line Water Detector (OWD) is to provide accurate, real time measurement of the water in a flowing hydrocarbon stream or tank. Different OWD applications such as reservoir management, production, production allocation, production separation, production transportation, custody transfer, refinery feedstock, process, and etc. require a different level of accuracy. The OWDs that can meet the strict accuracy, reliability repeatability, serviceability, performance, ease of installation, cost of ownership, maintenance, and performance demand of todays oil industry can serve a vital role in the automation. In todays competitive energy market there is tremendous emphasis on cost saving and productivity at all levels of the industry, the need for on-line automation of detecting water in hydrocarbon is paramount. Real time knowledge of water concentration in process streams or flowing pipelines is essential for improving system efficiency, safety, and streamlining system operations by the means of automation.
