Bauxite Slurry Density and Massflow monitoring by ceramic ultrasonic spectroscopy

Slurry Density monitoring by Ceramic Ultrasonic spectroscopy

Until now, real-time slurry density monitoring in the mining industry is done with risky and expensive nuclear densitometers. With the introduction of the Arenal ultrasonic slurry density Analyser the density recording can now be performed in a more secure, user-friendly and highly accurate manner, while saving costs and allowing for quicker interventions.

 

Arenal is the first and only producer of ceramic ultrasonic spectroscopy sensors in the world for the determination of density, specific gravity, total suspended solids and temperature of abrasive and high concentration slurries. The ceramic sensor construction not only provides the best acoustical physical properties but also it provides the highest degree of hardness ensuring optimal abrasive resistance for the demanding applications in this industry.

Suitable for a large variety of metals & minerals

The ultrasonic spectroscopy technology in combination with the extremely abrasion-resistant sensor allows for the monitoring of metal refining slurries, like in aluminum industry, the red mud applications.

Slurry Density Analyser

The Arenal Slurry Density Analyser (QA03-SDA) processes the digital signals of the Ultrasonic Density Transmitter and Probe. It calculates the density, specific gravity, total suspended solids and temperature, and if a flow meter is connected, the Massflow as well.
