Passive sonar flowmeters
For mining applications with abrasive slurries
- Clamp-on, non-contact technology for on-line real-time measurement based on patented sonar array processing techniques
- Dual measurement capability of the volumetric flow and air content (gas void fraction)
- Low installation and life cycle costs
SONARtrac VF/GVF-100
Passive sonar volumetric flow and entrained air measurement system for minerals processing applications
- Accurate and reliable operation over a wide range of corrosive and abrasive mining slurries, e.g. in hydrocylone feedlines, thickener underflows, etc.
- Entrained air measurement enables correction of errors in density meters caused by bubbly flows, resulting in tighter mass balance
- Non-invasive, wrapped-around sensor design: low installation, maintenance and lifecycle costs
- Improved process efficiency and uptime, with reduced operational expenses
