CiDRA Wins Flow Contract with Major Potash Supplier.CiDRA's SONARtrac[R] Flow Monitoring Technology Selected WALLINGFORD, Conn. -- CiDRA Minerals Processing, Inc announced today that one of the largest potash potash: see potassium carbonate. potash Name used for various inorganic compounds of potassium, chiefly the carbonate (K2CO3), a white crystalline material formerly obtained from wood ashes. producers has chosen CiDRA's SONARtrac[R] flow monitoring systems as their preferred technology for use on the Company's slurry, flotation feed, brine recovery, thickener thick·en tr. & intr.v. thick·ened, thick·en·ing, thick·ens 1. To make or become thick or thicker: Thicken the sauce with cornstarch. The crowd thickened near the doorway. 2. and tailings Tailings (also known as tailings pile, tails, leach residue, or slickens[1]) are the materials left over[2] after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the worthless fraction of an ore. lines. CiDRA will instrument twenty one (21) lines at one plant which will provide increased accuracy and reduced maintenance costs. These units will bring the total number of meters installed at that plant to twenty four (24). In addition, CiDRA will instrument eight lines at another plant and these meters combined with the nine meters already installed at the plant bring the total number of SONARtrac systems installed there to seventeen (17). CiDRA's SONARtrac systems were chosen by this producer because of the system's non-invasive design, which provides exceptionally high reliability, performance, and maintenance-free operation, thus lowering operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales and total cost of ownership. SONARtrac systems flow technology is a new class of industrial flowmeter See flow meter. , utilizing measurement principles that are distinct from all other flowmeter technologies operating in the mining industry. SONARtrac non-intrusive flow monitoring systems do not make contact with the slurry and can be removed and reinstalled when it is necessary to replace the pipe. As well, SONARtrac systems demonstrate a very stable output in the presence of a variety of ores, and demonstrate superior levels of performance. This passive, sonar-based technology enables measurements of single phase and multiphase Mul´ti`phase a. 1. (Elec.) Having many phases; Adj. 1. multiphase - of an electrical system that uses or generates two or more alternating voltages of the same frequency but differing in phase angle fluids, as well as slurries, with the same level of accuracy and performance.
