Description: AIMOLI AML920 colloidal pipeline camera principle groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instrument does not require multiple wells. It can obtain three-dimensional vector data of groundwater in a single well, greatly reducing the workload, and is more realistic than the 2D QR-code data of competing products. It is a live broadcast of actual groundwater conditions, which competitors cannot achieve.
High-speed railway bridge and tunnel groundwater flow velocity and flow direction monitoring is most afraid of encountering complex terrain. Traditional groundwater flow velocity and flow direction monitoring requires data from 3 wells, resulting in a large workload, while imported groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instruments can only measure water bodies that are neither too clear nor too turbid. When encountering water bodies that are too clear or too turbid, they simply cannot see clearly.

I. What to Do When a High-Speed Railway Project Encounters Complex Terrain and Cannot Measure Groundwater Flow Velocity and Flow Direction?
Last month, we received a request for help from Mr. Wang, who was working on a high-speed railway bridge and tunnel project in a certain area of Henan. Mr. Wang told me that their project was facing a difficulty. In some areas, their monitoring personnel could not measure the actual groundwater conditions using traditional groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instruments.
Moreover, they had consulted several manufacturers, but none of them had a good solution. As a result, the project had entered a stagnant state, so they came to us at AIMOLI.
Why could their project not measure the actual groundwater flow velocity and flow direction data? During our communication with Mr. Wang, I learned three important pieces of information:
(1) Their monitoring personnel were still using traditional thermal pulse groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instruments. The thermal pulse method is greatly affected by water pressure. It detects flow velocity and flow direction within a water level of 100 meters, but its disadvantage is inaccurate measurement.
(2) Mr. Wang had also consulted manufacturers using the principle of colloidal pipeline cameras for groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instruments. However, these manufacturers generally still use the traditional tracer method. The traditional tracer method collects data by releasing tracers. The main problems are the long time required, large data deviations, and complicated operation.
(3) Traditional groundwater flow direction instruments often require multiple wells for monitoring in order to collect accurate data. However, in complex geological environments, or when encountering complex groundwater flow fields, not only is the workload large, but it is also easy to obtain inaccurate measurements.
II. Performance of the AML920 Colloidal Pipeline Camera Principle Groundwater Flow Velocity and Flow Direction Instrument
(1) Core Monitoring Principle
The AIMOLI AML920 groundwater flow direction instrument adopts particle tracing measurement technology. Whether the groundwater body is too clear or too turbid, it can accurately measure the groundwater, and the movement of the water body can be seen. Imported groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instruments can only measure water bodies that are neither too turbid nor too clear.
(2) Three-Dimensional Data Is One Generation Ahead of Competitors
Global competitors remain at the level of two-dimensional plane data, while AIMOLI uses a three-dimensional vector algorithm. There is a difference of one generation between the two. The equipment is equipped with dual cameras, including a high-definition top-view camera and a 360° panoramic camera. It can view the bottom of the well in real time, clearly identify the screen holes on the well wall, and uses a three-dimensional vector algorithm. Compared with the 2D QR-code data of competing products, the data is more realistic. It is a live broadcast of actual groundwater conditions.
(3) Six Parameters as Standard, Expandable to More Than 10 Parameters
The AML920 colloidal pipeline camera principle groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instrument is equipped with the professional Flow Pro data analysis system. It uses high-frequency sampling by default and can adjust image brightness, contrast, chroma, and rotation angle. It accurately captures the trajectory of particles moving in the water and accurately obtains six major parameters: groundwater flow velocity, flow direction, water temperature, water level, top view, and 360° panoramic well conditions.
It can also be expanded to more than 10 hydrogeological and water-quality parameters, including pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, oxidation-reduction potential, qualitative identification of characteristic pollutants, heavy metals, organic matter, and more, which competitors cannot achieve.
III. On-Site Monitoring Data Received Customer Recognition
Since Mr. Wang’s project was relatively urgent, after reaching an agreement, we arranged for engineers to rush to the project site.
(1) After the engineers arrived at the site, they conducted an inspection of the well conditions and environment. After the probe was lowered into the water body, it was left stationary for 15–30 minutes. After the water quality stabilized, a comprehensive inspection was started.
(2) No reagents need to be added throughout the entire process. Accurate three-dimensional data can be obtained using only one well.
(3) After the monitoring was completed, AIMOLI issued a professional monitoring report and data, and the data received a high level of recognition from the customer.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. What data can the AML920 colloidal pipeline camera principle groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instrument obtain?
Six parameters are provided as standard: flow velocity, flow direction, water temperature, water level, top view, and 360° panoramic view of the wellhead. More than 10 hydrogeological and water-quality parameters can also be expanded.
Q2. How deep can the AML920 colloidal pipeline camera principle groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instrument measure?
It can measure water depths of up to 1,000 m. Customers have been using it continuously, and customization is also available. Competing products may only be able to measure 100 meters, so they are not on the same level.
Q3. What is the minimum well diameter that the AML920 colloidal pipeline camera principle groundwater flow velocity and flow direction instrument can measure?
The probe diameter is φ45 mm, and the low flow velocity is ≤1 μm/s. Competitors cannot achieve display at this level. It supports diversified storage, output, communication, and other functions.
