PROTECT YOUR SYSTEM FROM DAMAGE. ACCURATELY MONITOR FOR WATER HAMMER AND PRESSURE SPIKES AND BE ABLE TO REACT QUICKLY.

Blacoh’s patented SurgeWave™ Transient Monitoring Systems solves the need for pipeline operators to detect and record transient pressure events occurring in water, wastewater and petroleum pipelines. The system is unique in that it employs a system of dynamic pressure transducers and digital technology to monitor pipelines for indefinite periods of time. When a transient such as a pressure surge, pressure spike or water hammer event is detected, the system activates a high-speed data recorder to record the event 100x/second.

Often, plant operators do not find out about these dangerous abnormalities until much later when it is too late. With this Blacoh SurgeWave™ Transient Monitoring System installed, it will notify designers, engineers, manufacturers and operators immediately within a few minutes of the event. They can assess pipeline performance, pressure, flow, and pump speed and perform the necessary corrections and maintenance.

Unlike conventional data loggers, SurgeWave’s high-speed data collection allow operators to detect any anomalies that would’ve otherwise gone undetected with insufficient recordings. Use SurgeWave to prevent pipe fatigue, breakage and cavitation.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:
  • Instantly detect and record transient pressures up to 100 times per second
  • Provide graphical analysis of recorded data
  • Set the limits of the system’s normal operating pressure
  • Receive an email alert within minutes if those boundaries are exceeded
  • Alert when any pressure transient is detected
  • Daily email summaries of operations

EASY INSTALLATION:
  • Portable and easy to install in any pipeline transporting fluid
  • Wireless operation via WIFI
  • Operate anywhere in the world using QView, QUE, or Internet
  • Integration with SCADA systems
  • Synchronize with multiple units via GPS for precise timing
  • Additional monitoring systems can be linked together to analyze both the intake and discharge side of a pump

ASSISTS OPERATORS IN FINDING:
  • Leaks and ruptures
  • Faulty or insufficiently placed air valves
  • Faulty valve actuators
  • Isolated surge chambers
  • Faulty or inadequate pumps
  • Poor pipeline management procedures
  • Electrical failures
  • Pulsations and oscillations from unstable pressure


APPLICATION EXAMPLES:

1) The Blacoh subsea valve monitoring system provides verification of subsea valve closure through patented transient wave analyses.
2) Blacoh waterflood pressure monitoring system provides computer surge modeling of water flood systems and include the sizing of Blacoh surge vessels and control valves.
3) Blacoh crude oil pumping transient monitoring system provides pressure surge alarms and help identify pipeline blockage location. Blacoh's patented SurgeWave™ computer system records changes in wave speed and reflection to locate crude oil pipeline blockage.
