Ensure optimal FRAC sand quality with SONO-FRAC® Sand Moisture Sensor. Precise, reliable, and real-time FRAC sand moisture measurements.
Welcome to the forefront of moisture measurement technology with the SONO-FRAC® Sand Moisture Sensor, an essential tool for the Oil & Gas and Mining sectors. Engineered for real-time accuracy, this advanced sensor provides unparalleled moisture data for both fine and coarse sands directly on conveyor belts and under silos.
In FRAC sand operations, precise moisture measurement is critical. Moisture content directly impacts the efficiency of the hydraulic fracturing process. Too much moisture can cause blockages and reduce the sand’s ability to effectively prop open fractures. Conversely, insufficient moisture can lead to dust issues and poor sand quality. The SONO-FRAC® Sand Moisture Sensor ensures optimal moisture levels, enhancing the performance and safety of FRAC operations while maximizing the quality and reliability of the output.
The SONO-FRAC® Sand Moisture Sensor harnesses the power of patented TRIME® TDR Technology to deliver precise moisture measurements with an accuracy of 0.1% or better. This technology enables deep penetration into the moving material, ensuring consistent and repeatable results that you can rely on for optimal operational efficiency. This level of accuracy is critical in industries where even slight variations in moisture content can significantly impact the quality of the final product.
Designed for a wide range of applications, our FRAC sand moisture sensor excels in environments such as:
› Online process moisture measurement
› Conveyor belt installation
› Moisture measurement under a silo valve or clam gate
Unique in its class, the SONO-FRAC® allows for the replacement of the sensor head without needing to change the entire probe. This innovative feature reduces downtime and lowers maintenance costs, providing a low cost of ownership over the sensor’s lifespan. This means you can keep your operations running smoothly without frequent and costly equipment replacements, ensuring that your investment in the SONO-FRAC® Sand Moisture Sensor delivers long-term value.
At the heart of the SONO-FRAC® Sand Moisture Sensor is a 1 GHz TDR pulse with wave guides that generates an electromagnetic field, achieving a high resolution of 1 picosecond in transit time measurement. Combined with a built-in temperature sensor for real-time readings and automatic temperature compensation, this ensures the highest level of measurement precision. This advanced technology ensures that you get reliable data in real-time, allowing for immediate adjustments and optimal control over your processes.
With a variety of interface options, the SONO-FRAC® Sand Moisture Sensor can seamlessly integrate into your existing systems. Transfer critical data such as moisture content, conductivity, and temperature directly to your PLC or local PC using the SM-USB module or the SONO-VIEW field display for easy parameter adjustments and calibrations. This versatility makes it easier to incorporate the SONO-FRAC® into your workflow, regardless of your current setup.
