Announcing an Unprecedented Breakthrough in Fiber Optic Sensing Capabilities

 for Power Plant and Power Grid Applications from Sentek Instrument

 

BLACKSBURG, Virginia, February 15, 2018 – Sentek Instrument LLC announces a series of three technology breakthroughs that will have profound impacts on the electric power industry.  Sentek has successfully engineered, tested and released fiber optic based acoustic, strain and temperature sensing technologies with unprecedented combinations of sensitivity, responsiveness and distance.

Improved Safety, Reliability & Performance Across the Entire Spectrum of Power Company Assets

Sentek’s DASnova™ and LGI-100 systems provide utilities and power generation companies with capabilities far beyond current sensing capabilities.  Sentek’s distributed acoustic sensing system now provides a level of sensitivity at least one order of magnitude higher than traditional distributed acoustic sensing systems that are on the market today.

Sentek’s LGI-100 distributed temperature and strain sensing system provides a combination of responsiveness, sensing distance and sensor multiplexing capability that up to now has not been commercially available.

Sentek has also demonstrated in an ongoing two-year-old field trial the long-term reliability of their patented high pressure and temperature system (NovaPT™).  Sentek is excited to announce a prototype based on this successful technology for an ultra-high temperature and pressure sensor that is engineered to work with gas turbine engines and other clean energy systems that require ultra-high temperatures for maximum operating efficiency.

Today’s political, environmental and regulatory climates have placed increased pressure and scrutiny on power companies to deliver environmentally friendly, safe and fuel-efficient solutions.  Sentek’s products provide reliable technology solutions that address these concerns.

Sentek will proudly exhibit these technologies at the 20th Anniversary Electric Power Conference & Exhibition March 20-21, 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dr. Anbo Wang, CEO of Sentek Instrument and a globally recognized leader in the field of fiber optic sensing capabilities said “These recent breakthroughs in the level of sensitivity and responsiveness represent levels of performance that fiber optic sensing manufacturers thought were unachievable given today’s technologies.”

Sentek has issued an open challenge to fiber optic sensing companies to demonstrate currently deployed capabilities that meet or exceed Sentek’s performance.

Come see us at booth 508 at the 20th Anniversary Electric Power Conference & Exhibition and find out if your current monitoring technologies can match our level of performance.
