This non-intrusive acoustic sand monitoring sensor provides real-time data on sand production in oil and gas pipelines. It helps operators optimize flow rates while reducing the risk of erosion and equipment damage.

By detecting the unique acoustic signature of sand particles, the sensor converts sound signals into actionable insights, enabling immediate production adjustments and preventive maintenance.

Key Features

  • Real-time sand detection in both gas and liquid service
  • No process penetration – easy to install on existing pipework
  • Supports increased production uptime with reduced risk of unplanned shutdowns
  • Ideal for onshore and offshore upstream applications
  • Integrates with common communication protocols (Modbus, 4–20 mA, relay output)
  • Suitable for harsh environments, with wide temperature and pressure ranges

Compatible with additional systems such as sand logging tools, corrosion monitors, and digital maintenance platforms for enhanced monitoring and analysis.
