Ground Water and Process Water Monitoring

Efficient water management is critical for mining operations, where limited visibility into water flows can increase operating costs, elevate environmental and safety risks, and disrupt production. Reliable flow data is the foundation for effective control of both ground water and process water systems.
 

Non‑Intrusive Flow Measurement Without Disrupting Operations

FLEXIM’s non‑intrusive ultrasonic flow meters provide accurate, reliable measurement without interrupting mining operations. The clamp‑on design installs directly onto existing piping with no cutting, no process shutdowns, and no heavy infrastructure or crane requirements. This makes FLEXIM solutions ideally suited for retrofits, remote sites, and locations with difficult access or strict safety constraints.
 

Reliable Performance with Minimal Maintenance

Because the sensors never contact the process, there are no wetted parts, no abrasion, and no risk of clogging. Maintenance requirements are minimal, long‑term accuracy remains high, and total cost of ownership is significantly reduced compared to intrusive flow technologies.

This non‑contact approach allows mining operations to maintain continuous flow monitoring while avoiding the risks and costs associated with inline installations.
 

Designed for Demanding Mining Environments

FLEXIM solutions are well suited for monitoring ground water extraction, dewatering systems, and critical process water circuits across mining operations. The robust clamp‑on design supports continuous operation in harsh environments while preserving pipe integrity and system reliability.

Purpose‑built solutions such as the FLUXUS® F532WD and FLUXUS® F731WD are specifically designed for water distribution applications, providing dependable flow measurement for mining water management systems.
