Density Meter in the dredging industry
The ADM was originally developed for the dredging market. From Alia Instruments’ perspective, and based on many years of installed experience, the characteristics of slurries in the dredging industry are very unique:
• High weight% solids
• Large range of pipe sizes
• Very abrasive
• Sand, small and very big rocks, clay, shells, …
• Highly variable slurry flow velocity and composition
• …and any combination of the above, and in very tough environmental conditions.
The robustness, fast response time, and insensitivity to abrasion enable the ADM to safely and reliably perform under these harsh conditions like no other.
The ADM is currently used in different applications in dredging:
The ADM is currently used in different applications in dredging:
• Trailing Suction Hopper Dredges
• Cutter Suction Dredges
• Aggregate dredging (including mineral sands)
• Reservoir dredging
• Tailing Pond dredging
• On skid, in container or on pontoon for flexible use in different dredging jobs
