  • A breakthrough in process measurement technology

Magnetite Concentration Process Flow

The SONARtrac clamp-on system provides a non-intrusive, on-line, real-time measurement of the volumetric flow and amount of entrained air/gas present in any liquid-continuous-phase process fluid. The system also provides a measurement of only the liquid portion of the flow by compensating for the amount of entrained gas/air in the process line.

Insensitive to changes in magnetite density, the SONARtrac clamp-on system is completely immune to the magnetic properties of magnetite. It does not suffer from abrasive wear (compared with in-line devices) or signal attenuation (as in ultrasonics) associated with medium to high solids contents.

The SONARtrac Process Monitoring System is the ideal solution for your concentrator.

SONARtrac Process Monitoring Systems have been installed in magnetite concentration and processing facilities in U.S., Canada, Mexico, Chile, Sweden and Australia.
