A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11874151B2) discloses a process for determining the volume of liquid remaining inside a flexible pouch. The process involves placing the flexible pouch inside a rigid envelope filled with a measuring liquid, measuring the electrical conductivity of the mixture inside the envelope, and calculating the volume of liquid consumed and remaining based on conductivity measurements. The process also includes compensating for volume loss due to dispensing liquid and maintaining pressure balance. The application of this process is particularly relevant for subsea storage and injection of chemicals, offering a precise and efficient method for monitoring liquid levels.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a device designed for implementing the volume determination process. The device includes a flexible pouch, a rigid envelope filled with measuring liquids, an electrical conductivity sensor, and calculation means to determine dispensed and remaining liquid volumes. Additional features of the device include temperature and pressure sensors, means for homogenizing the mixture of measuring liquids, and inlet ports for admitting the second measuring liquid. The device's design ensures accurate volume calculations and efficient monitoring of liquid levels, making it suitable for various applications where precise liquid volume measurements are essential, such as chemical storage and consumption scenarios.
