Zusammenfassung:An apparatus comprising a fluid control unit for restricting the flow of a volume of fluid until its flow rate exceeds a threshold value, the fluid control unit comprising a first unit 1101 enclosing a first volume 1102 and arranged to capture the volume of fluid within the first volume and to provide the volume of fluid to a second volume 1104, and a second unit 1106 at least partially enclosing the first unit and enclosing the second volume and arranged to provide the volume of fluid from the second volume to a third volume 1108, wherein the fluid control unit is configured to restrict the passage of the volume of fluid to the third volume until the flow rate of the volume of fluid exceeds a threshold value. The apparatus is for detecting subsea leaks from wellheads or sequestration sites.
