Thank you for purchasing and using
Arenal's Slurry Density Analyzer for continuous monitoring of Specific
Gravity, Density, Total Suspended Solids, Water concentration in dry
tailings and temperature of mining, dredging, drilling and other slurries,
muds, pastes up to 5 kg/l, based on ultrasonic spectroscopy.
Since 2011, Arenal is the first and only producer in the world of ceramic
ultrasonic spectroscopy density and massflow analyzers. As the stability
and accuracy from 2021 is higher than nuclear analyzers, they will replace
most nuclear densitometers and also offer accurate monitoring under
water and in subsea mining applications. The technology is based on
measuring physical acoustical properties in combination of Acoustical
Spectroscopy of the slurry, which are, in a chemometry model, directly
related to the physical properties of the slurry, like slurry density, solids
concentration, water concentration and temperature. The temperature is
also measured by a separate PT1000 element.
For liquid density applications between 0.7<SG<1.4, we offer PEEK, PI,
Quartz and PBI sensors.
Due to continuous improvement of the software to comply with customer
requirements, the software changes rapidly and this manual is updated on
a continuous basis. If your software needs an update or upgrade, please
refer to the Maintenance & Support section 5 of this manual to support
you in your decision and to lead you through the updating or upgrading
procedure.
This manual is only valid for the software version on the front page.

1.1 Our philosophy
Thank you for purchasing and using the slurry density and slurry massflow analyzer from Arenal PCS. Our
goal is to produce the most accurate ultrasonic and thermal sensors and transmitters on the market for
most demanding applications in all global markets. Secondly, we aim to give you the most comprehensive
calculations available for controlling most industrial processes, based on the measuring values in
combination with multi parameter calculations. As our PLC/HMI can be connected to any control valve or
other equipment, local processes can be fully automated with Arenal's Slurry Density and Massflow
Analyzer. For more sophisticated processing and HMI interaction, we advise to use the QA01 Process
Chemometry Analyzer.
Finally, Arenal has a philosophy for ongoing continuous improvement to suit most demanding applications
in the world. We hope that we can contribute eventually to all of your process systems on site.
Arenal aims to satisfy end users with regards to optimization and control of all their processes.

Measurement absolute
error
In tap water within calibrated temperature range: 3 g/l.
In slurry: average error is 9‐15 g/l, due to changing morphology of particles,
inhomogeneous state of slurry and temperature sensitivity of dissolved solids.
