The Echo Particle Monitor developed by ESP is based on cutting edge technology. It provides data which enables the customer to maximize the potential of the facility by giving real time data and enabling to make swift decisions based on the data

The sand detector is based on the ultrasonic acoustic principle, which picks up the noise generated by particle flow at the time of impact on the inner wall of the pipe. This noise is subsequently processed in the onboard digital processing unit and transmitted to the system via means of 4-20mA, RS-485, HART and if required relays also.

Based on real time measuring the detector provides the ultimate benefit to the operator for visualising and quantifying sand or particle production. The non intrusive sand detector is ideal for all types of installations, whether aging or new.

The Echo acoustic sand detector also possesses an in built self diagnostic function.
