Abstract

A fluid depth determination system is provided for a vessel that contains first and second immiscible fluids, where the second fluid floats on top of the first fluid forming an interface therebetween. The system includes a first pressure probe which is located in the floor of the vessel, a second pressure probe being at least vertically moveable in the first and second fluids in a region of the interface, means for collecting pressure readings from the first and second pressure probes and means for calculating the depth of the first fluid based on a difference in the pressure readings. The present invention is also directed to a method of determining a depth of a first fluid having an immiscible second fluid floating on top of the first fluid and forming an interface therebetween.
