Non-intrusive instantaneous response to sand production 

Page last modified

Over time, sand will cause damage to plant and equipment on a platform, Left unchecked it can be responsible for loss of primary containment, creating the possibility of explosion and serious injury. In all cases, sand erosion results in loss of efficiency, downtime and reduced production.

Quickly identifying the presence of sand gives you the opportunity to adjust production, reduce maintenance and minimise potential equipment damage.

Accurate monitoring coupled with analysis and interpretation of the real time data means improved longevity of your assets and reduces costly repairs, replacement and downtime. Depending on the data output required we can also provide expert analysis to interpret the information provided.

We offer training, support and maintenance in the operation of monitoring systems and provide expertise to input the right set up information (flow, speed etc) to make sure the data you receive is correct and accurate.
