The Echo monitors liquid (water) and solid particles in gas flow and solid (sand) particles in oil pipeline. Employing ultrasonic technology the Echo detects acoustic noise generated by sand and other particles when they collide into the walls of pipeline and notify operator if their concentration reaches minimum acceptable level. Being the next generation of smart instruments the Echo uses digital signal processing algorithms to provide real time data to operator. The output signals from the Echo sand detector are transmitted directly to a control system for online data monitoring via SIIS Level 2 or SIIS Level 3 communication protocols.
The Echo non-intrusive device can be easily tied into any existing system or implemented into new pipeline installation.
ESP Safety’s sand detector is recommended to be installed in combination with our erosion-corrosion detectors to minimize sand intrusion (the main cause of erosion corrosion), detect early signs of corrosion and extend life of pipelines.
Enhanced Acoustic Sensitivity
Superb sensing element, digital signal processing algorithm with advanced filtering techniques allow device to detect the smallest particle.
Maximum Reliability
Rigorous self diagnostics, data averaging and use of filtering techniques provide fail to safe reliable operation.
Low Maintenance Cost
Minimum maintenance on site which makes it an easy choice for operator.
Non-intrusive Mounting
Connect Echo by supplied clamp to pipe or for subsea installation, place it in a funnel and you are ready to go.
Applications
Subsea Manifolds
Subsea Jumpers
Subsea Xmas trees
Subsea Pipe spools
