Q1-2018
R&D contract with Fraunhofer IKTS Unproven Concept
Next level monitoring of solids and fluids in pressure vessels
We have developed accurate non-intrusive technology for separator level measurement based on Guided Ultrasonic Waves. Our sensors detect liquids and solids level. Measurement of emulsion and foam interface layers is under development.
Get in touch with us to discuss opportunities for collaboration!
Our prototype has undergone extensive lab/pilot testing and is ready for field testing offshore!
Technology
Based on 20 years of applied research at Fraunhofer IKTS and an innovation challange by Equinor.
Features
Non-intrusive, based on Guided Ultrasonic Waves
No radioactive source
Fast and accurate measurement
No downtime during installation and testing
Scalable for different vessel geometries
Measurement of solids, oil and water levels
Detection of foam and emulsions (under development)
Potential added value: integrity monitoring (corrosion, wall thickness, cracks)
