SONARtrac HD Series Process Flow & Entrained Air Monitoring System

SONARtrac Models HD VF-100 and HD VF/GVF-100 Process Flow and Entrained Air Monitoring Systems utilize patented hardware and software features specifically designed, engineered and manufactured to provide accurate and reliable process flow measurements for difficult to characterize solid/liquid mixtures and challenging sand/rock slurry flows with varying velocities and densities.

Sonar Technology CiDRA has taken the proven reliability of its patented sonar flow technology used in its SONARtrac VF-100 Flow Monitoring system to address some of the most challenging flow measurement needs in the world.

Using similar sonar technology, the Model HD VF-100 and HD VF/GVF-100 systems are ideal solutions for flow applications in industries such as Oil Sands, which provide challenges from both an application as well as environmental perspective.

Sonar-based flow monitoring systems determine volumetric flow rate by measuring the speed at which self-generated, coherent flow structures convect past the sensor array. Sonar-based systems can also determine entrained air (or any other gas) levels by measuring the speed at which sound propagates within the process flow lines.

By using a SONARtrac flow monitoring system to measure the speed of sound in the process flow lines, it provides an accurate and robust, clamp-on method for determining entrained air levels in aerated liquids and slurries.
