ESP Asset IntegrityModel ECHO -Acoustic Sand Detector for Pipeline Monitoring

SHARE
The ECHO Acoustic Sand Detector is a sophisticated tool designed to enhance the integrity and safety of subsea and topside assets by monitoring solid particles in single and multiphase flowing operations. Utilizing ultrasonic technology, the device listens for the acoustic noise generated by sand and other particulates as they impact pipeline walls, alerting operators when these exceed safe concentrations. This triggers protective actions to safeguard critical infrastructure and optimize production. Employing digital signal processing algorithms, ECHO provides real-time data and can seamlessly integrate into existing systems through digital, analog, or wireless interfaces. Known for its enhanced acoustic sensitivity and reliability, this detector is cost-effective with minimal maintenance and is adaptable for diverse climates, from polar to tropical regions. Available in both onshore and subsea versions, the ECHO detector is precision-engineered from premium materials like 316 stainless steel or aluminum, ensuring long-term durability and performance in extreme conditions.

Subsea and Topside Asset Integrity

ECHO Acoustic Sand Detectors, monitor solid particles in single and multiphase flowing operations.

Employing ultrasonic technology ECHO detects the acoustic noise generated by sand and other particles when they collide into the walls of pipeline then notifying the operator if their concentration reaches above safe tolerable levels, inciting reactive actions to protect critical infrastructure and optimizing production.

Being the next generation of smart instruments ECHO uses digital signal processing algorithms to provide real time data to operator. The device can be easily integrated into any system via digital or analog interfaces or wireless.

Enhanced acoustic sensitivity, maximum reliability, low maintenance cost and long service life make Echo the perfect choice for gas and oil pipeline at any climate, from Polar to Tropical. The device comes in two versions: for onshore and subsea applications.
