System for measurement of fluid levels in multi-phase fluids

A method for detecting a fluid level of a component in a multi-phase fluid held in a sampling container, the method comprising:

• providing an excitation signal to a coil assembly, wherein the coil assembly comprises a primary coil and a secondary coil wound around the sampling container and wherein the sampling container is configured to act as a dielectric layer between the sensor assembly and the component;
• detecting a response of the component to the excitation signal provided to the coil assembly;
• and
• determining the fluid level of the component in the multi-phase fluid based on a relationship between the response of the component and the fluid level of the component, wherein the relationship is determined based on a response of a calibration fluid.

A system for measuring fluid levels in a multi-phase fluid comprising:

• a sampling container configured to hold a sample of the multiphase fluid, wherein the sampling container comprises dielectric material;
• a sensor assembly, comprising:
• a primary coil wound around the sampling container;
• and
• a plurality of secondary coils encapsulated by the primary coil and wound around the sampling container, wherein each of the plurality of secondary coils is electrically connected to a capacitive element of different value and wherein the sampling container is configured to act as a dielectric layer between the sensor assembly and the sample of the multiphase fluid;
• and
• an analyzer inductively coupled to each of the plurality of secondary coils to measure a response of each secondary coil in response to an excitation signal provided to the primary coil.
