To
date, the primary applications for SonTek/YSI products in water treatment applications has
been the estimation of water velocity in the extremely low flows of settling basins, and
for point measurement in supply canals. For either application, the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV)
[above, left] line of
instruments are excellent choices, with the Argonaut-ADV
[above, right]
and FlowTracker Handheld ADV
[right]
perhaps providing the easiest to use and lowest-cost solution.

a pole and suspended from a movable bridge (left) to map the entire flow field of a
settling basin (right). |

The ADVOcean (left) is mounted on a stainless steel clamp and further supported on a pre-fabricated platform consisting of a trolley and winch system. The instrument was then lowered down at the clarifier outlet open-channel at a water treatment facility to conduct a series of flow tests. |

The FlowTracker Handheld ADV uses the ADV technology in a compact, hand-held package to make accurate, high-precision water velocity measurements in natural streams, weirs/flumes, and open channels related to irrigation, stormwater, water treatment, and mining. Designed with the field user in mind, the FlowTracker easily attaches to top-setting wading rods and features an automatic discharge computation program that is based on USGS/ISO methods. |
