Development of a Fluidic Gas Concentration Sensor.

Abstract

This document is the final report of a program to design, test, and evaluate the performance of fluidic gas concentration sensing systems and their component parts for monitoring CxHy and H2S on offshore platforms. This program consisted of investigating three major portions of a systems. Gas Sensors, Chemical Processors, Sensor System, Three candidate fluidic sensors (Resistor Bridge Sensor, Vortex Sensor, Jet Edge Resonator Oscillator Sensor) were evaluated for use in the sensor system. The resistor bridge sensor was chosen as the most appropriate. Several chemical processors were evaluated for each gas sensing system. Palladium coated alumina was chosen for the CxHy system and lead acetate was chosen for the H2S system.
