1. Introduction to Sonar Flow Meters
Sonar-based flow measurement technology is specifically designed for produced‑water and process‑water applications in multiphase slurry environments, offering exceptional cost‑effectiveness.
Sonar volumetric flow technology represents the latest breakthrough in process fluid measurement. By installing a non-invasive, clamp-on system directly onto existing process pipelines, it enables real-time volumetric flow measurement for any type of pipe or lined pipe—without the need for coupling gel or special adjustments.
The sonar monitoring system does not rely on ultrasound; instead, it employs a patented sonar array processing technology to detect and interpret the continuous turbulent flow naturally occurring within process pipelines, delivering measurement data of exceptional accuracy and verifiability.
Sonar technology represents an innovative, next‑generation class of industrial measurement instruments. This sonar technology employs array processing techniques similar to those used in the field of sonar signal processing. Originally designed as a patented solution for fluid and mixture measurements in some of the world’s most demanding environments—such as drilling operations, offshore oil extraction, and gas production—it has since been adapted to new measurement applications, enabling the monitoring and optimization of industrial processes.
