A fluid flow control and debris intercepting apparatus for controlling the flow of fluid and the introduction of debris into the entrance of a conventional curbside storm drain of the character having spaced apart side walls that define a fluid flow channel through which fluid flows. Additionally, the apparatus senses the nature and extent of contaminants contained within the fluid.

The present invention relates to a mobile system for continuous, automatic, online monitoring of water quality and particle sampling in a drinking water distribution network, comprising: a mobile unit provided with means for supplying, from at least a selected one of the plurality of points in the drinking water distribution network, a corresponding, selected influent fluid sample stream; means for discharging a corresponding, selected effluent fluid sample stream; for each selected influent fluid sample stream, a respectively associated continuous monitor module.

A hydrogen sulfide sampler system for sampling for hydrogen sulfide in a fluid flow line includes a main tank in fluid communication with a fluid sample inlet line and a fluid sample outlet line. A plurality of sample bottles are in fluid communication with the main tank by way of the fluid sample outlet line. A drain tank is in fluid communication with the main tank by way of the fluid sample outlet line. A manifold assembly includes the fluid sample outlet line, the manifold assembly located between the main tank and the drain tank and further located between the main tank and the plurality of sample bottles. A return line is in fluid communication with the drain tank. An analysis system is operable to analyze a composition of a sample fluid contained within the main tank.

Interaction of adsorbing chemicals with a downhole tool presents inaccuracies in the adsorbing chemical measurement and analysis. The principles of the present disclosure provide a method and system of sampling fluids including an adsorbing chemical in a subterranean reservoir. One method may include modeling an interaction between the adsorbing chemical and a downhole tool, applying the model to a measurement of the adsorbing chemical, and adjusting the measurement in response to applying the model.

A water sampling system having multiple collection channels configured to collect multiple samples of a fluid as the fluid flow rate and level changes with respect to time. The system is designed to connect to and sample urban storm water runoff outfalls, pipes and drains.

An air sample collection apparatus and methods for operating the air sample collection apparatus are provided. The air sample apparatus comprises a plurality of air canisters comprising at least a first canister and a second canister, a multi-position valve comprising an outlet, and an inlet region, which are fluidly connected to a plurality of ports. Each respective port is fluidly connected to a canister of the plurality of air canisters, a pump operable to provide pressurized sample air to the inlet region of the multi-position valve, and a computing device operable to open and close each respective port fluidly coupled to each canister of the plurality of canisters.

A servo-electric actuated sampler can draw samples of fuel liquid from an operating main line. The sampler can run in a fast-loop process whereby liquid is drawn into the sampling system and past an actuated sampler and then out of the system back into main. The system main run a short loop whereby the main fast-flow is restricted, and the actuator and sampler are isolated from the main line flow. When isolated, the sampler discharges liquid into sampling cans. The servo-electric actuator requires a monitored amount of power to draw and discharge fluids. Monitoring of the power requirements of the servo-electric sampler can reveal the status and reliability of the system.
