1. Introduction to Sonar Flow Meters
Sonar flow measurement technology, specifically designed for produced water and process water applications in multiphase slurry environments, offers exceptional cost-effectiveness.
Sonar volumetric flow technology represents the latest breakthrough in process fluid measurement. By using a non-invasive, external clamp-on system that can be installed directly onto existing process pipelines, real-time volumetric flow measurements can be performed on pipes and lined pipes of any material—without the need for coupling gel or special adjustments.
The sonar monitoring system does not rely on ultrasonic waves; instead, it uses patented sonar array processing technology to listen for and interpret the continuous turbulence naturally generated in process pipelines. The measurement data it provides boasts exceptional accuracy and reproducibility.
Sonar technology represents a new, innovative class of industrial measurement instruments. This sonar technology employs array-processing techniques similar to those used in the field of sonar signal processing. Initially designed as a patented sonar technology, it was intended for measuring fluids and mixtures in some of the world’s most demanding environments—such as drilling operations, offshore oil extraction, and gas production. Subsequently, this reliably established sonar technology has been adapted for new measurement applications, enabling the monitoring and optimization of industrial processes.
