The Fuel Cell Module (Fig. 2) houses the test cell and an explosion
proof pump. The product is extracted from the pipeline, passes through
the test cell at a constant flow rate that is maintained by the pump,
and is reintroduced downstream into the pipeline.
The Barrier Module (Fig. 2 - bottom left) provides the intrinsic safety
provisions to prevent high voltages from reaching the test cell in the
Fuel Module.

Model 1150 Staticon Monitoring & Control System
The requested conductivity level and limits are set in the Control
Module (Fig. 1). The test cell in the Fuel Cell Module generates
conductivity and temperature data that is passed through the Barrier
Module to the Console Module where it is processed utilizing a
microprocessor, stored, and displayed. The data is also used to control
the additive injection rate to maintain the requested conductivity
level. The injection rate varies to compensate for variations in
additive strength and temperature. The Console Module, as shown, can
handle 2 streams by adding an additional Fuel Cell Module and barriers
to the existing Barrier Module.

An optional Additive Injector Assembly with the Fuel Cell Module in a
typical skid mounted configuration is shown in fig. 3. The large red
box is the additive tank with a flame arrester vent. The injector pump
is located at the bottom left.
