Conference at Pollutec 2011

In collaboration with HYDREOS (the French business cluster on water quality and management) we gave a conference entitled :

New Ultrasonic Measurement Techniques : Which Applications in Wastewater and Environment?

The innovations in the field of acoustic instrumentation allow the measurement of velocity and acoustic turbidity profiles in natural and industrial flows. In a similar approach to medical echography, the technology developed by UBERTONE permits the precise observation of the fluid. It therefore offers a new tool allowing hydraulic study in sewer networks, sediment transport tracking in rivers, etc.
