Smart measurement technology
Until now, slurry density recording in the mining industry is often being performed with risky and expensive nuclear densitometers. With the introduction of the ultrasonic slurry density analyser of Arenal, 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.
Measuring slurry flow is in most cases performed with magnetic flow meters from other brands. Except for iron ore and ferro solicate applications, this technology does not work well. Arenal re-invented the well-known thermal massflow meter. In combination with the slurry density analyzer, the flow and massflow can be determined now with the same accuracy as with magnetic flow meters, but for a much lower price and without the need for maintenance!
Ultrasonic spectroscopy
Ultrasonic spectroscopy is used to monitor concentrations and density for all mining and industrial slurries and pastes. For each application Arenal offers suitable mounting solutions and calibration models.
Ceramic Thermal massflow sensors are used to monitor abrasive slurries and pastes. However, due to density changes, the thermal conductivity of such slurries change. This is compensated when the technology is combined with the ultrasonic slurry density analyser.

"Arenal strongly believes that process Analysers with disadvantages like reagent use, nuclear issues, erosion, short lifetime, high cost will be eliminated from the plant floor sooner or later. Therefore, Arenal invests mainly in physical property sensors, which have proven to be of very good quality."
