pFlow F8 Ultrasonic Flowmeter for Aquaculture Management

Overview

The pFlow F8 Ultrasonic Flowmeter is a state-of-the-art universal transit-time flow meter engineered to bring accurate, trouble-free flow metering to recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), fish hatcheries, and water treatment operations. Sophisticated electronics incorporating the latest developments in digital signal processing, coupled with powerful ultrasonic transducers, deliver highly accurate flow measurement for liquids in full pipes, giving aquaculture operators the reliable data needed to protect water quality and fish health.

As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for pFlow Gentos, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the F8 to aquaculture farms, hatcheries, and water treatment facilities across the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat, and the wider GCC. Water quality is always the limiting factor for aquaculture and fisheries production, and the F8’s precise flow monitoring supports the tracking and detection of pollution and environmental changes critical to healthy fish growth.

Measurement Principle

The pFlow F8 measures flow using the ultrasonic transit-time operating mode, incorporating the latest ultrasonic technology to deliver an accurate, easy-to-use flow meter suitable for a wide range of full-pipe applications including potable water, raw wastewater, effluent, well water, and other chemical liquids. While principally designed for clean liquid applications, the instrument is tolerant of liquids with a small quantity of air bubbles or suspended solids, common in most industrial and aquaculture applications.

Because the F8’s transducers clamp onto the pipe exterior rather than penetrating the fluid path, the meter introduces no obstruction or contamination risk into circulating water systems—an essential requirement for aquaculture facilities with extremely high water circulation requirements and sensitive aquatic environments. This non-invasive approach also allows installation without cutting pipes or interrupting water flow, minimizing downtime during commissioning.

Engineering Design of the pFlow F8

The pFlow F8 features quick and easy clamp-on transducer installation, factory pre-configuration, and a user menu-driven interface, allowing ultrasonic flow meters to be quickly debugged in the field without specialized expertise. This ease of installation is particularly valuable in aquaculture facilities where flow points may be numerous and technician time limited.

The F8 includes a built-in WiFi communication module, connecting to the internet through WLAN and integrating seamlessly into the user’s automatic control system for remote control and management. Through Gentos’ iCloud server, F8 uploads flow data to the cloud, allowing operators to view data and reports through mobile phones or PCs anytime, anywhere—supporting the continuous water flow monitoring that recirculating aquaculture systems demand.

Key Features

The pFlow F8 combines universal transit-time measurement with cloud-connected monitoring for aquaculture applications. Core capabilities include:

• State-of-the-art digital signal processing for highly accurate flow measurement of liquids in full pipes.
• Quick and easy clamp-on transducer installation with factory pre-configuration.
• Built-in WiFi communication module with iCloud data storage for remote monitoring.
• Tolerant of liquids with small quantities of air bubbles or suspended solids.
• No pipe cutting or water flow interruption required during installation.
• User menu-driven interface enabling quick field debugging without specialized training.
• Suitable for potable water, raw wastewater, effluent, well water, and chemical liquids.
• Ideal for recirculating aquaculture systems, HVAC, and building automation applications.

Industrial Applications

The pFlow F8 is purpose-suited to recirculating aquaculture systems, fish hatcheries, and water treatment facilities across Oman, where water quality monitoring directly affects aquatic livestock health and production yield. Its clamp-on installation and WiFi cloud reporting allow aquaculture operators to optimize pump operation, reduce energy consumption, and integrate flow data into automated control systems for improved operational stability.

As the officially authorized partner for pFlow Gentos, Seven Star LLC distributes the F8 to commercial, hospitality, institutional, and manufacturing facilities throughout the Sohar and Salalah economic zones and the broader GCC region that need to monitor flows across diverse fluid types including ethanol, coolant, and other process liquids in addition to water.
