Abstract

According to some embodiments, an apparatus and method are provided for detecting the composition of a fluid. An alternating electromagnetic field may be applied to the fluid and distortions in the electromagnetic field are compared with predetermined, expected distortion “signatures” for particular components at particular concentrations. The presence and concentration of the components in the fluid may be detected by detecting these distortion signatures.

Claims

1. An apparatus for fluid content monitoring, the apparatus comprising:

a monitoring module connected to;

a first system for monitored fluid flow turbulence level transformation and transformed fluid flow into the monitoring module; and

a second system for fluid flow turbulence level restoration and fluid outflow from the monitoring module,
