See what
flows within.
We measure the phases inside your process. Our sensors track how much gas, oil or water is present, where each phase sits in the pipe and how fast an interface moves.
Three ways to see inside a pipe.
Measure across two electrode rings.
Two continuous electrodes line the bore at different axial positions. An AC voltage between them drives a current through the fluid. The signal changes as a gas pocket enters the sensing volume.
- Measured signal
- Current amplitude and phase between the upstream and downstream rings.
- What it yields
- An estimate of gas fraction after calibration. A second ring pair downstream gives the transit time of the same pocket.
Real-time data processing
Follow gas pockets through three sensor stations and inspect the unit cells detected from their signals.

Sirius Sense is a spin-off of NUEM, the Multiphase Flow Research Center at UTFPR.
Our work grew out of experiments on how gas, oil and water share a pipe. We design the electrodes, electronics and software that carry those measurements from a test loop to an industrial process.
