OLR Series M2000

Sensor platform for mineral slurries

Designed for the harsh environment of the resources industry the M2000 provides precise performance with minimal maintenance needs. Can be configured for indexing yield stress or measuring the viscosity without the need for time-consuming, error-prone, and often dangerous sampling and sample- handling processes. Comprehensive software suite included.

Features

  • Ruggedized for challenging
    operations environment
  • Application specific flow cells
  • Indexing of Yield Stress and measuring Viscosity
  • Temperature sensing optional
  • Standalone software standard 
  • MODBUS based communication
    with PLC

APPLICATION AREAS

  • Mining and Mineral Processing
    (eg, Concentrated slurry,
    Underflow, and Backfill rheology)
  • Water and Waster Water Sludge
  • Upstream Oil and Gas (eg: Drilling
    Mud and Fracking Liquid Rheology

MODULAR SKID-BASED SOLUTIONS

The M2000 can be used as a part of a skid where flow modulation becomes necessary to access the fluid properties of interest. Fully automated and semi-automated skid with integrated wash cycles are available for additional flexibilty.

Software (SOLR)

SOLR provides flexibility – you determine from the drop down menu what you continuously measure, plot and report.

The OLR is used in conjunction with custom developed software specific for the sensor system. The SOLR has three key functions:

  • Set up of process monitoring and quality control parameters
  • Monitoring and control of process either through SOLR or through the plant PLC
  • Out-of-specification product diagnosis
