OPTICAL CHARACTERIZATION SYSTEM FOR A PROCESS PLANT

摘要

The present invention provides a characterization system and process for performing optical characterisation of a liquid sample in a process plant. The system comprises a sample section (103) for holding the liquid sample, an inlet comprising an inlet valve (121) for controlling a flow of the liquid sample into the sample section, an outlet comprising an outlet valve (122) for controlling a flow of the liquid sample out of the sample section, a pressurizer (130) for pressurizing the sample section at a time when the inlet valve and the outlet valve are closed, an agitator (140) for agitating the liquid sample inside the sample section at a time when the inlet valve and the outlet valve are closed and the pressurizer is pressurizing the sample section, a measuring device (150) for performing optical characterization of the liquid sample inside the sample section during the agitating by the agitator and the pressurizing by the pressurizer.
