ITS has launched the Totalising-itometer at Euroports 2017. This new instrument – developed with MSA-Service – integrates ITS’s Densitometer with[ds_preview] a standard flow meter to measure total production. Not only does the new instrument provide the industry standard cross-hair indicators of flow and density, the extra flow information from seeing inside the pipeline can give operator the ability to dynamically see production levels as a guide to optimising production. The tomography technology from ITS is able to provide all of this information for dredging operators.
The benefits of this non-nuclear totalising gamma-buster instrument include lower operating costs (total cost of ownership is estimated to be approximately 50% less than nuclear instruments); accurate solids volume concentrations; simpler calibration; no compliance or regulation issues. According to ITS, the »green product« does not require the transport or disposal of nuclear sources. The technology builds on the successful Densitometer which is already being used by many dredgers in Europe in the USA and the Australasia region.
